Hi-Value Supermarkets
Hi-Value Supermarkets: Everyday low pricing
General Overview
SLIDE: The Meeting
> In early April of 2006, several members of Hall Consolidated meet with the District Manager of 3 Superior stores in Centralia, Missouri.
(The agenda of this meeting was to disuss the districts progress and to address any issues related to the 3 stores.)
> The District Manager proposed EDLP for his 3 stores.
(The DM thought this was appropriate because he noticed their prices were higher compared to their competitors in the Centralia area. He also realized that consumers were becoming much more price conscious. Sales were also below quota for the 1st quarter of 2006.)
> The EDLP strategy had been briefly discussed in August of 2005.
(Although, they discussed the EDLP stratgey prior to the quarter meeting in 2006, they continued on with their current strategy)
