Expanding your brand into a new market or category can be tricky. How much should you innovate and expand upon what you already do? What do customers expect from such an experience? Rick Gomez, EVP and Chief Food & Beverage Officer at Target, played a crucial role in transforming the retailer’s identity from a typical retailer with limited food and grocery options to a comprehensive grocery store.

Last summer, at the Retail Innovation Conference & Expo in Chicago, Rick shared a behind-the-scenes look at how Target approaches innovation and growth to give customers what they want and expect from their shopping experiences.

During this episode of Retail Remix, we give you exclusive access to Rick’s session to learn how he and his team helped transform the retail giant from a typical chain of stores into a one-stop destination for shoppers' culinary needs. Listen to learn:
