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. The Kroger Co. is a publicly held corpora- tion (NYSE: KR). Still based in Cincinnati, Kroger operates nearly 2,800 stores under two dozen banners, ranking as one of the world’s largest retailers.

    Bernard, Joseph A. From: Kaia Svien <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, November 10, 2020 1:07 PM To: Wittenberg, Jason W.; Baldwin, Lisa M.; 2040; Cano, Alondra (External) Subject: [EXTERNAL] City Zoning Standards Planning Commission Members, Staff, and Councilperson Cano, Please take a strong stand against the proposed changes to the city zoning standards. Analysis that I‘ve read makes this sound very much like a gift to developers who most likely do not hav the vision and vlaues needed to construct housing for low income people. I fully endorse the statement below. Please enter my submission into the Public Record. Thank You, Kaia Svien 3632 13th Ave S, Mpls During the debate on 2040, there were many confirmations and promises related to Built Form for Interior 1-2- 3. Just like in the email confirmation from a Council Member, we were assured "the expectation that two- and three-family homes in low-density areas must meet the same height, setback, and massing requirements as single-family homes." I remind you of this now, as it seems certain special interest groups are claiming "Minneapolis 2040 did not go far enough" and have gone so far as to suggest our tax dollars go to fund a named consultant (Opticos) to "evaluate our existing neighborhoods" and "restart the research of Interior neighborhoods." This can be found in a streets.mn post on October 2nd by Janne Flisrand. There should be NO CONSIDERATION of further movement in these areas: 1 - Approval of ADUs to be built on lots where the principal residence is non-owner-occupied.

  • Stop the Minneapolis 2040 Plan!
    Save Our Neighborhoods! Stop the Minneapolis 2040 Plan! Many of the changes the Mpls 2040 Plan promotes will likely go into effect next year (2019) -- e.g. fourplexes, etc. What's wrong with the 2040 plan? * Fourplexes Everywhere The Mpls 2040 Plan allows fourplexes on virtually every block and every neighborhood in the entire city. This radical change will destroy the character and feel of our beautiful single-family/residential neighborhoods. * Much More Density Everywhere The Mpls 2040 Plan promotes A LOT MORE density and development in our residential neighborhoods and around our city lakes. This radical change will greatly hurt the look and feel of our neighborhoods, and our lakes. To make matters worse, it doesn't address related transportation and infrastructure needs. Density for density's sake, without a well thought out transportation and infrastructure plan, is very shortsighted and irresponsible. * Taller Buildings Everywhere The Mpls 2040 Plan calls for 'upzoning' the entire city. This will allow developers to build up to 6 and 8 story buildings and high-rise apartments in many of interior neighborhoods and around our city lakes. This radical change will be end up being very harmful. What Can You Do? 1. Call and email Mayor Jacob Frey, Lisa Bender (City Council President), Jeremy Schroeder (Zoning and Planning Chair), your own city council person, and as many other city council members as you can. Tell them you strongly oppose the Mpls 2040 Plan. The mayor and a majority of the city council support the plan, and unless a majority change their mind and vote "No" -- it will pass! Contact information is on the back of this flyer.

  • Market Structure Analysis of Florida Metropolitan and Micropolitan
    Retail Grocery Market Structure Analysis of Virginia Metropolitan and Micropolitan Areas Prepared for Virginia Community Capital (VCC) by The Reinvestment Fund (TRF) as part of the ReFresh initiative, supported by JPMorgan Chase | February 2015 Retail Grocery Market Structure Analysis of Virginia Metropolitan and Micropolitan Areas Prepared for Virginia Community Capital (VCC) by The Reinvestment Fund (TRF) as part of the ReFresh initiative, supported by JPMorgan Chase | February 2015 TRF’s Market Structure Analysis measures the concentration of market share within a region’s retail grocery industry. In general, as the concentration of market share within the top few grocers increases, the region’s overall level of competition within the industry decreases as it evolves into a tighter oligopoly.1 An oligopoly is a market condition in which the supply of a good or service is largely controlled by a small number of entities, each of which is in a position to influence prices, thus directly affecting its competitors’ ability to sustain profitability. After decades of mergers, acquisitions, and emphasis on economies of scale, the retail grocery industry has naturally evolved into an oligopoly, ranging in intensity from tight (fewer majority owners) to loose (more majority owners), based on the number of owning entities controlling the majority market share.2 TRF’s experience with the Pennsylvania Fresh Food Financing Initiative suggests that a tight oligopoly in at least one Pennsylvania metro area made market penetration especially difficult for local and regional grocers that were not members of the oligopoly. Conversely, loose oligopolies with less concentrated market share exhibited fewer barriers to entry for prospective grocers.
