The economy today is as depressing as the time of the Great Depression with no light at the end of the tunnel for many consumers. The United States fell into a recession several years ago and is threatening to fall into a second recession. The sad part is many consumers believe that they were never out of the original recession. Many people are to blame for the economic downfall of the United States however pointing the finger will not help the current status of the economy. With unemployment on the rise, future health care declining, social security is threatened, and outsourcing of jobs climbing to an all-time high, one may say it is dooms day for the way of life that was once known and loved in the United States. So with no quick fix in sight many Americans have decided to take matters into their own hands in hopes of stimulating the economy. One particular idea was to create one stop shop supercenters with affordable products priced fairly with the struggling consumers in mind. Four college students attending the University of Phoenix seeking a bachelor’s of science degree with a focus on business management took this idea by horns and ran with it. These four young inspired students were challenged by their professor John Smith, created a new one stop shop called the Superstore. The store is established and the base of operation is in Charlotte North Carolina. After much planning and prospecting the Superstore was erected, and the doors were open for business. The store boasted a large bright atmosphere with a calming demeanor. Unlike much of the competition that appeared dark, dreary, unorganized, and cheap with a warehouse like demeanor. The Super Store provided grocery, health and beauty care, clothing, shoes, fashion, automotive, home décor, pharmacy, electronics, fast food restaurants, vision care, furniture, gas stations, and more than 20 other departments.
