SUMMARY:Industry Class Action Litigation Update: What Grocery Executives Need to Know
DESCRIPTION:What Grocery Executives Need to Know\n\nMajor antitrust class actions involving food\, beverage\, and CPG suppliers are moving through the federal courts\, with potentially significant financial and competitive implications for independent grocery retailers and wholesalers. \nThere have been recent developments in major cases including: \n\nBeverages: Following the dismissal of the FTC’s Robinson-Patman Act case against PepsiCo\, private antitrust lawsuits have consolidated in federal courts.\nEggs: Allegations that major egg producers conspired to inflate egg prices during the recent historic price spikes.\nBeef: Major classes in the long-running beef price-fixing litigation\, including a direct-purchaser class covering grocers\, wholesalers\, and other businesses that purchased beef directly from defendants.\n\nJoin Chris Jones\, former National Grocers Association chief lobbyist and attorney and founder of Center Market Strategies\, LLC\, for an executive briefing on these cases\, what they could mean for independent grocery retailers and wholesalers\, and the legal options available to businesses. \nThe briefing will focus on the practical questions grocery executives need to understand: \n\nWho may be eligible to recover?\nHow do class actions like these work?\nWhat does class certification mean?\nWhat should retailers expect as cases move toward settlement or trial?\nAnd when should a company consider taking action rather than simply waiting for a class notice?\n\n\nRegister now!

SUMMARY:Is Licensing Compliance Putting Your Grocery Store at Risk?
DESCRIPTION:Running a grocery store means managing a complex web of licenses and permits – from alcohol and tobacco to food service\, lottery\, and fuel – each with its own requirements\, deadlines\, and governing jurisdictions that vary dramatically by state and locality. \n  \nFor independent grocers and regional chains\, the challenge is even more acute. Limited staff and resources mean someone is often wearing multiple hats – and license management can quickly become an overwhelming distraction from what matters most: running and growing the business. Whether you’re managing a single location or expanding into new markets\, the licensing requirements stack up fast. Miss a renewal\, overlook a new requirement\, or operate under the wrong license category\, and your business faces serious consequences – including fines\, penalties\, forced closures\, and reputational damage. \n  \nIn this webinar\, Avalara’s business license experts will walk through the compliance challenges unique to grocers and show how an automated\, centralized licensing solution can reduce the burden on your team – keeping you compliant and free to focus on running and growing your business. \n  \nIn this webinar\, you will learn: \n\nWhy grocery operations face some of the most complex business licensing requirements in retail\nWhat the real consequences of non-compliance look like for grocers\nHow automation and centralized license management reduces risk\, workload\, and cost\nWhat to look for in a licensing solution built for the grocery industry\n\n \n\nRegister now!
