In Forbes magazine's annual ranking of the richest Americans, the heirs of Sam Walton, the founder of Wal'Mart Stores, h.,held spots five through nine in 1993 with 9.5 billion each.

At the end of 1993, WalSMart had a market value of $57.5 billion, and its sales pcr square foot were nearly ROO, compard with the industry average of $210. It was widely believed that WalDMart had revolutionized many aspedv of retailing, and it was wcll known for its heavy investment in information technology.

  • Wellness at Retail: the Continuing Story
    Wellness at Retail: The Continuing Story Expanding the delivery of health and wellness services thru retail channels has been a long-term trend in the United States. In our last article, Wellness at Retail: An Introduction, we traced highlights of this trend, including: the evolution of the health food industry into mainline grocery, i.e. Whole Foods; the integration of traditional healthcare services into large format retail, i.e. the appearance of clinics in chains like Kroger and Target; and the collaboration of retailers and insurance companies in the promotion of healthy eating, i.e. Go365 by Walmart and Humana. Since then, this trend has continued and, like everything around us, been deeply impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. Pharmacy, and grocery in particular, have emerged as cornerstone brick-and- mortar retail formats, compelled to protect employees while serving increased customer demand. These essential retail workers have emerged as frontline heroes, risking their lives by reporting to work, and the retailers have assumed leadership roles within their communities, in protecting the public by providing PPE to staff and requiring all shoppers to wear masks. Many retailers have initiated new health and wellness offerings or expanded existing programs during the current crisis. Major retailers like Walmart and CVS(1), as well as independents like SpartanNash(2), have assisted in providing testing. Online nutrition services are expanding rapidly as grocers, like ShopRite(3) and Stop & Shop(4), have added digital dietitians, nutrition coaching, recipe demonstrations and other services. And Weis Markets has taken it a step farther with the addition of a video-chat platform providing counseling on the management of chronic conditions, like diabetes and high blood pressure, along with other nutrition services.

The son of a merchant, he ran his business with a simple motto: “Be particular. Never sell anything you would not want yourself.” This credo served Kroger well over the next 136 years as the supermarket business evolved into a variety of formats aimed at satisfying the ever-changing needs of shoppers.

  • Hypermarket Lessons for New Zealand a Report to the Commerce Commission of New Zealand
    Hypermarket lessons for New Zealand A report to the Commerce Commission of New Zealand September 2007 Coriolis Research Ltd. is a strategic market research firm founded in 1997 and based in Auckland, New Zealand. Coriolis primarily works with clients in the food and fast moving consumer goods supply chain, from primary producers to retailers. In addition to working with clients, Coriolis regularly produces reports on current industry topics. The coriolis force, named for French physicist Gaspard Coriolis (1792-1843), may be seen on a large scale in the movement of winds and ocean currents on the rotating earth. It dominates weather patterns, producing the counterclockwise flow observed around low-pressure zones in the Northern Hemisphere and the clockwise flow around such zones in the Southern Hemisphere. It is the result of a centripetal force on a mass moving with a velocity radially outward in a rotating plane. In market research it means understanding the big picture before you get into the details. PO BOX 10 202, Mt.
