“…Consumer characteristics mainly presented barriers. Frequently, retailers perceived a higher demand for unhealthy than for healthy products [20–24, 27–29, 31, 33, 36–41], and thus regarded unhealthy products as more profitable [20]. They often attributed this to customers perceiving healthy products as expensive [23, 24, 38, 40, 42], personal habits [23, 28] or taste preferences [23].…”

“…Structures were often described as important barriers. Physical structures were most frequently discussed: many retailers lacked the necessary storage facilities to stock fresh products promoted by the intervention [21, 22, 28, 29, 34–36, 38, 40], and available space to display promotional materials was limited [37, 42, 45, 48, 49], whereas retailers with more space seemed more supportive of the intervention [27]. In one study, multi-store retailers would present posters in frames on the wall, which varied in size and required posters of specific dimensions [45].…”

BackgroundDue to their central position in the modern food system, food stores present a unique opportunity to promote healthy dietary behaviour. However, there is a lack of insight into the factors that impede or enhance the implementation of nutritional interventions in food stores. We applied a systems innovation and implementation science framework to the identification of such barriers and facilitators.MethodsWe conducted a systematic literature review. A search string was developed to identify qualitative and quantitative articles on environmental nutritional interventions in the food store. Four databases were systematically searched for studies published between 2000 and 2018. Eligible publications described study designs or original studies, focused on stimulating healthier dietary behaviour through environmental changes in retail settings and contained information on the perceptions or experiences of retailers or interventionists regarding the implementation process of the intervention. Context-descriptive data was extracted and a quality assessment was performed.ResultsWe included 41 articles, of which the majority was conducted in the USA and involved single stores or a mix of single and multi-store organisations. We categorized barriers and facilitators into 18 themes, under five domains. In the ‘outer setting’ domain, most factors related to consumers’ preferences and demands, and the challenge of establishing a supply of healthy products. In the ‘inner setting’ domain, these related to conflicting values regarding health promotion and commercial viability, store lay-out, (insufficient) knowledge and work capacity, and routines regarding waste avoidance and product stocking. In the ‘actors’ domain, no major themes were found. For the ‘intervention ‘domain’, most related to intervention-context fit, money and resource provision, material quality, and the trade-offs between commercial costs and risks versus commercial and health benefits. For the ‘process’ domain, most factors related to continuous engagement and strong relationships.ConclusionsThis review provides a comprehensive overview of barriers and facilitators to be taken into account when implementing nutritional interventions in food stores. Furthermore, we propose a novel perspective on implementation as the alignment of intervention and retail interests, and a corresponding approach to intervention design which may help avoid barriers, and leverage facilitators.Trial registrationPROSPERO; CRD42018095317.

“…A number of interventions aimed at improving healthy food availability in general stores (or ‘corner stores’) have been implemented and evaluated throughout rural and urban United States. These include stock inventory changes, store re‐design, recipe cards, linking with fresh produce sources, point‐of‐sale advertising and in‐store interactive activities such as food tastings . These studies showed that increased promotion and availability of healthy food in small stores increased sales of these items, and therefore, these interventions have the potential to positively influence healthy food consumption.…”

Aim To investigate whether geographical location or type of store is associated with differences in healthy and unhealthy food availability in grocery stores. Methods A cross‐sectional study using the Victorian Healthy Food Basket to measure food availability (44 ‘healthy’ and 10 ‘unhealthy’ items) in a convenience sample of 112 stores in urban and regional Victoria, Australia. Logistic regression analyses assessed whether location (regional, urban), distance from capital city central business district (km) and type of store (chain supermarket, independent supermarket and general store) predicted the number of missing healthy and unhealthy food items. Results There were 54 chain supermarkets, 43 independent supermarkets and 15 general stores, with 56% of stores located in urban areas and 44% located regionally. The strongest significant predictor of missing items was being a general store, which had greater odds (odds ratio (OR) = 136, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 13–1399) of having missing ‘healthy’ items and missing ‘unhealthy’ items (OR = 63, 95% CI = 7–575), compared with chain supermarkets. Independent supermarkets had increased odds of having missing ‘healthy’ items (OR = 7, 95% CI = 2–22) compared with chain supermarkets. Regional store location was a significant predictor of missing ‘healthy’ and ‘unhealthy’ items, compared with urban location (OR = 6, 95% CI = 2–25) and (OR = 7, 95% CI = 2–29), respectively. Conclusions Store type was a stronger predictor of stores having missing ‘healthy’ and ‘unhealthy’ food items than the store distance from a large urban centre. General stores and independent supermarkets may be important settings for interventions to improve availability of healthy food.

Around the Corner to Better Health: A Milwaukee Corner Store Initiative

Abstract: Youth learned about new vegetables, increased kitchen skills and proper food storage, and the effects of obesity on overall health. Similar interventions must address infrastructure costs, cooperation with property owners, and local policies and regulations affecting business practices.
