Webinar series

This event is part of Shelf Life: Resources and strategies for rural grocery, a monthly webinar series addressing critical issues and opportunities facing Minnesota’s rural grocers. Sessions will be held on the first Wednesday of the month over Zoom from 3 to 4 p.m., starting Wednesday, April 2, 2025, through October 1, 2025.

Small-town grocery stores are the heart of rural communities, yet many struggle with competition from larger chain stores, a shrinking customer base, and changing customer demands for fresh produce and greater variety.  The University of Minnesota Extension Regional Sustainable Development Partnerships (RSDP) support rural grocery stores affected by these issues through a number of resources and projects throughout Minnesota.
