Grocery Headquarters

What Grocery Headquarters does

Grocery Headquarters is a content section on the Supermarket News website (supermarketnews.com) covering the U.S. grocery and supermarket industry. The section aggregates editorial coverage across two primary topic clusters — Grocery Operations and Grocery Trends & Data — with sub-verticals including grocery technology, legislation and regulatory news, mergers and acquisitions, independents and regional grocers, grocery marketing, wholesale and distribution, retail labor, foodservice at retail, food safety, sustainability, grocery pharmacy and health care, finance, new stores, executive moves, supplier news, company news, store closings, recalls, retail media, and food accessibility.

The publication is operated by Informa Connect Limited, a division of Informa PLC (London Stock Exchange: INFORMA), a UK-based publicly traded conglomerate specializing in exhibitions, academic publishing, and business intelligence. Informa PLC is registered in England and Wales (company number 8860726) with its registered office at 5 Howick Place, London SW1P 1WG. Content is delivered across multiple formats: written news articles on the website, daily podcasts (The Retail Daily, produced in cooperation with CSP Daily News; and the Grocery Guys Podcast hosted by Bill Wilson and Ron Margulis), and recurring video series including SN Products to Watch, 10 Items or Less (hosted by SN Senior Editor Bill Wilson), and Price Check.

The business model aligns with B2B trade media: revenue is generated through advertising (with an active "Advertise" link via Informa Connect), webinars, newsletters, and event-linked sponsorship tied to Informa's broader food-service and retail events portfolio. The audience is grocery retail operators, CPG suppliers, technology vendors, and industry analysts. Grocery Headquarters itself is not a standalone legal entity; it is a topic-area brand within Supermarket News, which is in turn a publication within Informa Connect. No standalone revenue, headcount, pricing, or technology stack data was disclosed for this entity, reflecting its nature as an internal content vertical rather than an independent operating company.
