From Aisles to Apps: Imagine Studio Unpacks the Latest Trends in Grocery, Retail, and QSR

MINNEAPOLIS, July 21, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Imagine, an industry leader in visual marketing solutions, has released the newest installment of their quarterly trends series, offering a behind-the-scenes look at the latest data and inspiration shaping their creative strategy and production capabilities. This quarter’s report focuses on three topics: grocery, specialty retail, and quick-service restaurants.

In grocery retail, customers are demanding more when it comes to fast, clean eating – resulting in an evolved health-conscious grab-&-go model and more technology-driven shopping tools. In specialty retail, calming spaces that reduce burnout and playful shopping encounters that spark joy are top-of-mind. Imagine’s insights into this experience-based retail model provides the blueprint for creating immersive brand ecosystems that extend beyond the storefront. In the QSR space, reimagined restaurant environments are being thoughtfully designed to align with evolving consumer behaviors, while leading brands are seamlessly integrating their unique voice and flavor-forward visuals into every aspect of the dining experience.

“Imagine Studio keeps a constant pulse on the industries we serve—grocery, retail, and QSR—translating emerging trends into actionable strategies for our clients,” said Chief Executive Officer, Don McKenzie. “By combining top creative talent with cutting-edge production technology, we help brands craft marketing that not only resonates with today’s consumers but also drives traffic and boosts basket size.”
