The wine selection is great and very affordable. Trader Joes has a variety of cheese, cold cuts, fine meats, European style breads and a variety of other items that you can’t really find anywhere else. Some of the frozen and dry goods, such as vegetables, pasta and rice are superb, as are the canned foods, which are usually superior to supermarket brands and often at better prices. Trader Joe’s has its faults, however. In their ongoing efforts to make your shopping experience somewhat more adventurous, I noticed that they have a habit of moving their merchandise around to different parts of the store every so often. This sometimes makes it difficult to find things. Having smaller stores TJ’s sometimes can feel cramped. But the atmosphere at TJ’s is relaxed, and shoppers are usually polite and patient. Workers are knowledgeable, friendly and helpful.…

Home Depot has direct rivals, such as Lowe’s Home Improvement, True Value and Menards; as well as many indirect rivals that are starting to branch into the home improvement category. This means that Home Depot is also competing with Supercenters like Wallmart. The two stores have a very different approach, however. The Home Depot stores are laid out like warehouses, with open metal shelving where potential customers can see product as far as the eye can see. All of the aisles are cleanly swept, wide and made of concrete so customers can push large flatbed carts around the store, easing access to larger items such as water heaters, storm doors or even bags of salt to keep snow off of driveways. Their aisles are also crawling with well trained, knowledgeable sales staff that are there solely to help you make the right decisions for what you what for your home. Walmart does not offer this feature, and they do not have stores designed to draw in contractors. Home Depot makes it easy for do-it-yourselfers and professional contractors to find everything they need within a few aisles. Walmart may be able to offer lower bottom-line prices on the home improvement items they sell, but they do not offer the same level of customer service or depth of product. Also, Home Depot has the awareness to plan out far in advance where its stores are going to be placed. The store that I am visiting…

COMPANY NAME 2012 A major factor in deciding to pursue the purchase of the grocery store was sustainability. Because food is an item that everybody must consume, the owners determined that in poor economic times a grocery business will still be profitable, all be it, not as profitable as it could be in good economic times, thus, the decision to purchase this type of business rather than restaurant . In other words, the food industry is not impervious to peril; however, if you run the business well, you will sustain tough economic times and larger competition. Small community grocery stores are similar to larger chains, in that, you are connected to a distribution warehouse to provide you with product. There are several grocery distributors in the US. You just need to identify a distributor that provides service to your community. Start up costs was a factor in determining the grocery distributor. Several require certain upfront costs and a commitment of certain amount of weekly service, the owners selected General Distributors, Inc. out of CITY to provide bi weekly service to the community market. The proximity and lower service fees were a contributing factor. Summarizing, a grocery store must be a part of a larger distribution network to receive product deliveries. Consumers purchase products based on cost, availability, freshness, and convenience. Certainly it is convenient to have a local grocery store rather than commute 45 miles to the nearest Wal Mart or other…

The US retail grocery industry includes about 65,000 supermarkets and other grocery stores with combined annual revenue of about $550 billion. Key growth drivers are consumer spending habits and food trends (Blank, 2014). Over the past twenty years, the traditional supermarket has been shaped and reshaped to try and meet consumer demands.

Population growth and consumer tastes drive demand. Large corporations can offer a widespread selection of foods and have the edge in purchasing, large distribution channels, marketing dollars, and financial backing. Small companies must…

Many of us have heard many times, “Guns don’t kill people on their own, it takes a person to pull the trigger.” Even if people find this statement to be true, guns are an issue that needs to be addressed. A gun is simply an easy tool that people can use and manipulate with hardly any thought. Many suggest taking away guns and promoting peace through government help while others think that the guns are what keep them safe. Situations arise everyday where people have witnessed, or know someone who has been effected by gun violence. Sadly many of the cases result in death or severe injuries. Even though this is a very controversial topic, many people would agree with the fact that guns are an easy means to commit a crime.
