Stories about gauging the successes of food businesses were popular among readers of SmartBrief’s food and beverage newsletters this week. Readers clicked on a story about how MOD Pizza’s co-founder defines success by the company’s number of employees, rather than its revenue, and they also clicked on an analysis of why Amazon hasn’t come to dominate grocery the way it’s come to dominate other retail categories. The success of Hippeas’ new chickpea puffs also drew the interest of readers this week, as did a Publix cashier’s reflection on a 17-year career spent building relationships with customers.

ConAgra’s acquisition of Frontera Foods drew the most clicks, with Tropicana’s new probiotic juice line and Whole Foods’ reported stake in Instacart also proving popular among readers.
