POS Solution Helps Lund Food Holdings Keep Up With Expansion

Lund Food Holdings, Inc. (LFHI) operates 20 upscale grocery markets in the Twin Cities area of Minnesota – eight under the Lunds banner and 12 under the Byerly's banner. Together, these two chains set the standard for providing excellent customer service and unique product offerings. LFHI specializes in high-quality gourmet foods, as well as a comprehensive line of organic foods and natural products. LFHI locations offer artisan breads, bakeries, wine stores, florists, catering services, housewares, cooking demonstrations, and community meeting rooms. In addition, LFHI is adding pharmacies to all of its stores through a partnership with PrairieStone Pharmacy.

In 2000, LFHI began searching for a next-generation point of sale (POS) solution. Planning to build two new stores, LFHI required a POS solution with greater capabilities and better support of newer technologies. Additionally, it required a system that was open, flexible, and provided easy access to store data.

After conducting an extensive evaluation, LFHI selected NCR Advanced Checkout Solution (ACS) and installed it in the two new stores.
