Local stores navigating nationwide egg shortage
SUMMARY: Local stores in Springfield, Mo., are managing a nationwide egg shortage caused by bird flu, impacting both supply and pricing. Dave Plemmons from Price Cutter noted reduced allocations from national brands but maintained local supply consistency. Lucinda Soden from Mama Jean’s emphasized their reliance on local farms, which help mitigate price increases. While egg prices have surged at major retailers, both stores strive to keep their prices stable for consumers. The shortage also affects restaurant pricing, leading to slight increases over the years. Plemmons is optimistic that inventory and prices will stabilize over time.
