General Survey Results 1 General Survey Results 1. What are the most positive aspects of the Golden Mile? (check all that apply) Answer Options Response Percent Response Count Existing mix of businesses 39.3% 292 Good access to major roads 59.6% 443 Good place to have a business 20.3% 151 The current road design 8.9% 66 Easy to reach by car 58.1% 432 Easy to reach by bicycle or on foot 8.6% 64 Easy to reach by bus or other transit 19.8% 147 Landscaping 5.2% 39 The appearance of the commercial areas 2.7% 20 Close to downtown and neighborhoods 32.6% 242 Access to nearby communities such as Myersville and Middletown 36.3% 270 Other (please specify): 7.3% 54 answered question answered question 743 743 skipped question skipped question 22 22 Number Other (please specify): 1Specfc stores 2ease of parking at most businesses 3not much 4much less traffic then the MESS that is the FSK area; though that may be due to the severely depressed economics of the Mile 5besides traffic flow and accessibility, I don’t see much positive attributes in the current Golden Mile area. 6Unique topo in immediate area and the view of distant Catoctin Mountains. 7Has so much potential...Frederic needs to really draw better and more upscale stores. 8Right now the only positive thing going for it is Home Depot 9Good restaurants 10very dangerous area for bikes and pedestrians 11closer to my house than the rt. 85 FSK mall area 12Restaurants 13Close to my home 14landscaping has improved, but could be better yet. 15traffic and poor retail selection make it a lost cause 16Dept. stores close to home 17Wonder Book and Video is the only positive aspect of the GM 18The FSK Mall area is congested, so I go to Boscov’s 19Need to do something with Fredericktown Mall 20I only go for specific businesses (i.e. Dutch Plant Farm). I don’t think there are many positive aspects. 21A Great concept , too bad it has fallen to a state of decay. 22the golden mile is a shit hole 23Boscov’s, Home Depot and other food stores 24A cluster of stores 25 A newer cultural mix with a reat mix of old small town. I returned to Md after 20 years in midwest. When I grew up in Montgomery County i would often visited Feederick to feel a small town atmosphere. We have underemplyed yung farmers in our county to tack our out of work youth how to plant various plants and flowers. Join together FFA and The future business Leaders of America. Only adult needed one retired farmer or husbnd wife team. What a simple yet novel idea. Packs of seed with co-op prices minimal. A community project to fix landscaping issues with minimal cost and great benefits. 26Less congested than FSK Mall area 27Nothing that I can see. 28Large quantity of businesses in a small, easy to access area 29Conviently located geographically between the fully developed Washington Metro area and the quickly growing residental development in neighboring PA and W Va as well as the centeral and western parts of Md. 30Very few positive aspects at present! 31Good mix of restaurants 32Toysrus 33Some target destinations, such as particular restaurants and Toys R Us. 34 I like having most everything here in easy access although traffic flows could be GREATLY improved and the Fredericktown Mall project has been very disappointing. 35The GM had so much potential to attract stores like Target/Best Buy and better shops if crime and low imcome housing were not so welcomed and embraced in that area. The two don’t mix. People and business won’t come to area’s if they don’t feel safe and feel threatened. 36shops 2.

Sidewalks 5There used to be mall walking at Frederick Towne Mall. Now we have to go to FSK for that, which means I see and use those busineesses more. 6visually depressing 7 I want a wide range of businesses, so that they appeal to a variety of incomes and tastes. Because their are a large number of apartments & families, I would like to know if their are enough programs for youth (rec centers, after school, and summer activities). I would like to see a way to police officers to have a visual, friendly presence, like the historic district. For example, you can see police on bikes or standing on corners chatting with people. I think this is an important prevention effort. I don’t think the Golden Mile is all bad, I think it needs to be updated to reflect the populations needs. 8poor pedestrian access, can’t move between shopping centers 9The Golden Mile area needs a cohesive overall look to make it special. Perhaps having all the areas dressed with historic storefronts? 10Types of business offerings 11Not a very modern interactive space...sometimes you have to drive just to connect to shopping centers that are right next to one another. 12we don’t need businesses that cater to the poorest element of the area. start looking at business that appeal to homeowners. 13sprawl 14Let’s not settle for ugliness, please institute some standards.

INTRODUCTION: FOOD RETAILING: 1850-1990 Before the introduction of supermarkets, fast food outlets, supercenters, and hypermarts, various other food retailing formats operated successfully in the US. During the latter half of the 19th century, the chain store began its rise to dominance as grocery retailing format. The chain grocery store began in 1859 when George Huntington Hartford and George Gilman founded The Great American Tea Company, which later came to be named The Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company (Adelman, 1959). The typical chain store was 45 to 55 square meters, containing a relatively limited assortment of goods.
