Tyson Retail Foodservices is focused on change. Changing the broken deli and what we have to offer our shoppers, to be exact. Shoppers don’t want to buy pieces and parts of meals. They don’t care about your latest new equipment or how cheap you can sell your prepared foods. Shoppers want meals for their family that they are proud to serve. They need to be educated and inspired and we need to execute on our promises to deliver them satisfying meal experiences. That’s the formula. That’s the conversation. www.TysonVelocity.com/ChangingTheConversation
