Consumers want to eat more seafood

摘要

Town & Country Markets knows what Seattle's consumers want in a seafood department. For the third quarter of 2005, seafood sales at each of the company's six stores, three of which operate as Central Markets, were 17 to 55 percent ahead of the prior year, says Chris King, seafood specialist. "Celebrating fresh is our theme," says King. "Since seafood is a big part of the Northwest, in our Central Markets, [seafood departments] are large and go out front and center, because that's who we are in the Northwest. We're all about fish."
