Rural Grocery Peer Groups
Kansas State University is offering peer learning groups designed for mutual support and knowledge exchange to foster a stronger, more connected rural grocery community.
Peer groups will be made of up to 12 non-competing rural grocers. Each group will meet for one hour a month to ask each other questions, share advice, learn best practices, speak directly with industry experts, and motivate each other.
Peer groups will meet on Zoom February through September, 2026. Meeting dates and times are to be determined.
Eligible participants are owners and managers of independent rural grocery stores that have been in operation for at least one year and are located anywhere in the United States.
There is no cost for selected participants.
