Miami - May 2012

Our stop in Miami provides Retail Masters with an opportunity to see best practices of marketing and merchandising for the Hispanic demographics first hand. In addition to having keynote speakers sharing industry data and trends, our class travels to Hialeah, home of Publix Sabor. Retail Masters are astounded at how Publix Sabor is completely different, but still true to the Publix brand that customers know and love.
