33:T472, What if alcohol excise duties were costing Belgium more value than they generate? That is the question I put to Geert Van Lerberghe and Étienne Bouillon from Vinum et Spiritus in this new episode of Retail Influencer. Since the major increase in excise duties in 2015, price differences with neighbouring countries have become significant for certain categories. And the issue goes far beyond the bottle of alcohol itself. A consumer crossing the border to buy whisky, gin or liqueur at a lower price may also do part of their grocery shopping there. Alcohol then becomes the trigger that can move an entire shopping basket abroad. With consequences for Belgian retailers, suppliers, employment and, more broadly, for the value created in Belgium. A conversation that goes well beyond alcohol and raises a real retail question: how do we make sure that consumer spending stays on our market as much as possible?

35:T459, I don’t know if you saw it, but there has been quite a bit of noise around Delhaize’s checkout system, and more specifically around the one at the Delhaize store in Braine-l’Alleud. So I looked into it. I searched. And I couldn’t find any official statement from Delhaize on the subject. That struck me as quite surprising. Because if Delhaize were officially testing a new checkout system in one of its stores, I would expect the information to be communicated, or at the very least, that I would be informed as part of my work. And then I read different things here and there. A test. A U-turn. Stories about theft. Different interpretations depending on the article. In short, it wasn’t exactly clear. In this kind of situation, I did what I believe any good Retail Influencer should do: go and see for themselves. So I went to the Delhaize store in Braine-l’Alleud to understand what was really happening. And I was welcomed by Nicolas Thery, the affiliate who operates the store, who took the time to tell me the whole story. Hosted on Ausha. See ausha.co/privacy-policy for more information.36:T501,

As every year, Carrefour Belgium is launching its Wine Fair, with a month dedicated to discoveries, promotions and wine tasting.

The 2026 edition runs from 9 to 28 September and offers, in participating Carrefour hypermarkets, a selection of award-winning wines, exclusive references and various promotional offers, including 1+1 free and 2+1 promotions.

Wine lovers can also enjoy tastings organised in the hypermarkets during opening hours. Seven evening tasting events were also organised on 8 and 9 September, notably in Auderghem, Korbeek-Lo, Kuringen, Waterloo, Sint-Denijs-Westrem, Zemst and Oostakker. In the other 33 hypermarkets, tastings are also available during opening hours.

On this occasion, we also recorded a podcast with Maxime Lebrun, Category Manager at Carrefour, to take a closer look at this year's edition of the Wine Fair, its selection and the choices made this year.

3a:T4e9, What if the price of a product also told us how much the person who produced it actually earns? In this new episode of The Retail Influencer by 20/CENT Retail, I speak with Anne-Françoise d’Aoust about Allez, a Belgian initiative aiming to bring more transparency to the relationship between producers, retailers and consumers. It all starts… with a Belgian melon. But behind that melon lies a much broader reflection on how today’s food supply chain works. With Allez, the producer sets the price based on their costs and the work involved. The retailer then applies its margin. Logistics, Allez’s commission and VAT are also clearly identified. The result? Consumers can actually see how the price they pay is distributed. In our conversation, we also discuss short supply chains, local products, the role of independent stores, the difficulty producers face in making a decent living from their work, and above all, a question I find particularly relevant: Could price transparency become the standard on supermarket shelves? Allez certainly wants to help make that happen. A very concrete conversation about price, value, retail and the place of the producer in that equation. Hosted on Ausha.

3c:T668, What if food waste wasn’t just a sustainability problem… but also a store efficiency problem? That’s the question I put to Fredrik Andershed from Deligate in this new episode of The Retail Influencer by 20/CENT Retail. Retailers already have an enormous amount of data. They forecast, order, track inventory, manage promotions and deal with products approaching their expiry dates. So why do so many products still end up in the bin? According to Fredrik, part of the answer lies in a very specific moment: the gap between identifying that a product is approaching its expiry date and taking the right action. That’s where AI can become interesting. Not to add yet another dashboard. But to turn data into very concrete actions: · identify the products that require an intervention · determine when to act · automatically adjust the discount level · help store teams save time · measure what is actually sold or thrown away · and, most importantly, close the loop to improve the next decisions The goal, therefore, is not simply “less waste”. It’s also less manual work, better sales, fewer unnecessary markdowns and, ultimately, better margins. One sentence from Fredrik sums up his approach particularly well: “Make it a process that matters.” Because for change to work in stores, the process also needs to be simple for the teams using it.

3e:Ta08, Is online commerce about to undergo its biggest transformation since the rise of e-commerce itself? In this new episode of The Retail Influencer by 20/CENT Retail, Vincent Panneels welcomes Bernardo Caldas from Mollie to explore a concept that is rapidly moving from theory to reality: agentic commerce. The idea is simple, yet its implications are profound. Tomorrow, consumers may no longer browse websites to compare products themselves. Instead, their AI assistant will search for the best options, analyse product specifications, compare prices, delivery times and customer reviews, and even complete the purchase without ever visiting a retailer's website. This shift fundamentally changes the rules of retail. For years, brands have invested in website design, storytelling and marketing campaigns to influence consumers. With AI agents, purchasing decisions become far more rational. Structured product data, return policies, technical specifications and sustainability credentials suddenly become key factors in the buying process. Bernardo Caldas explains that this transformation will not happen overnight. Adoption is expected to be gradual, with the first impact being felt in recurring, low-emotional purchases such as office supplies, groceries and everyday consumables. Categories driven by emotion—such as luxury products or travel—are likely to remain more human-led for longer. For retailers and manufacturers, preparation starts now. Product information needs to be structured so AI agents can easily interpret it. E-commerce platforms must be modernised, businesses should prepare for emerging protocols developed by players such as OpenAI and Google, and payment providers will need to support these entirely new purchasing journeys. Perhaps the strongest takeaway from the conversation is that now is the time to experiment. Companies that begin testing how visible they are within AI assistants today will gain a competitive advantage as this new channel continues to develop. Finally, although AI will increasingly influence purchasing decisions, brands are not disappearing. Their role is evolving. Emotional connections will be built less at the point of purchase and more through the product experience itself—when customers receive, unbox and use what they have bought. Want to understand how AI will reshape commerce over the coming years and what actions your business should take today? Listen to the full conversation in The Retail Influencer by 20/CENT Retail.

40:T987, Retailers are investing heavily in self-order kiosks, self-checkouts, mobile apps and checkout-free shopping. The objective is clear: make shopping faster and more convenient. But by simplifying the experience for the majority, are we making it more difficult for part of our customer base? In this new episode of The Retail Influencer by 20/CENT Retail, Vincent Panneels and Elisa Servais explore one of retail's growing challenges: inclusion. Through real-life examples from H&M, Exki and China, as well as inspiring initiatives from Carrefour, IKEA, LEGO and the Dutch "chat checkouts", they explain why the real challenge is not choosing between technology and human interaction, but offering enough options to meet the diverse needs of customers. Inclusive design is not only about people with disabilities. It also considers older shoppers, tourists, neurodivergent customers, people experiencing loneliness, visually impaired or dyslexic consumers and, ultimately, anyone who may face barriers during their shopping journey. Inclusion does not necessarily require major investments. Training employees, offering multiple ways to interact, adapting services or simply rethinking the customer journey can already make a significant difference. The message is straightforward: technology is a powerful tool, provided it serves every customer.

September was clearly not a quiet start to the retail season.

Quite the opposite.

Between the Carrefour and Delhaize trade shows, new concepts such as ShopeeZ and CRAVY, the transformation of Cora, the trends emerging for the end of the year, wine fairs, NRF Paris, Maison&Objet… there was certainly plenty going on.

In this new Monthly Recap, Elisa Servais and I look back at what stood out to us over the past few weeks.

But also at what’s coming up in October: a visit to Luxembourg, the Retail Tours and, of course, SIAL Paris.

A very busy September.

And it looks like October won’t be any quieter.
