General Mills bets on cereal, ice cream, snack bars & Mexican food as it deploys 4-prong growth strategy By Elizabeth Crawford At the Consumer Analyst Group of New York 2021 conference yesterday, General Mills unveiled a four-prong strategy to “accelerate” its net organic sales growth 2-3%, expand mid-single-digit margins and deliver mid- to high-single-digit constant currency growth “over the long term” despite an industry-wide slowdown in consumer spending on food at home compared to the start of the pandemic.
“Before the pandemic, we aligned on a new strategic framework to drive the next chapter of growth for General Mills. This plan, which we call Accelerate, sets clear priorities for where we play, how we win and how we’ll drive superior returns for our shareholders over the long term,” CEO Jeff Harmening said.
Board passes motions for internet service, access road
St. James Plaindealer
At Monday s St. James School Board meeting, the board approved agreements for a renewal of internet services, and with the city of St. James on creating an access road during summer road work construction.
The board passed a motion to accept a bid from SOCRATES for the internet provider for St. James Public Schools. The district currently uses SOCRATES for its internet. The new agreement with SOCRATES will officially begin on July 1, 2021, and run through June 30, 2026. They went with a couple of different bids, and there seems to be a promise of a lot stronger system coming into the school system with some of the additions that we added, said Superintendent Dr. Steven Heil. Starting on July 1st, we should see improvement at a lower cost.
