Abstract The extent to which the food retail environment, including the availability, price and quality of foodstuffs, has an impact on what people eat remains unclear. This study aimed to determine whether the retail environment, of a household‟s usual main food store or of the area surrounding the home, is independently associated with the dietary intake of individual householders. The study employed a cross-sectional design and comprised simultaneous surveys of all retail outlets selling foodstuffs, and of households and the individuals living in them in the city of Newcastle upon Tyne, UK in 2000-2002. 5044 adults aged 16-97 years living in 3153 households provided data, including a 134-item food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) and detailed socio-demographic information. Detailed data on 33 commonly consumed foods was obtained from 560 food stores.

  • Global Vs. Local-The Hungarian Retail Wars
    Journal of Business and Retail Management Research (JBRMR) October 2015 Global Vs. Local-The Hungarian Retail Wars Charles S. Mayer Reza M. Bakhshandeh Central European University, Budapest, Hungary Key Words MNE’s, SME’s, Hungary, FMCG Retailing, Cooperatives, Rivalry Abstract In this paper we explore the impact of the ivasion of large global retailers into the Hungarian FMCG space. As well as giving the historical evolution of the market, we also show a recipe on how the local SME’s can cope with the foreign competition. “If you can’t beat them, at least emulate them well.” 1. Introduction Our research started with a casual observation. There seemed to be too many FMCG (Fast Moving Consumer Goods) stores in Hungary, compared to the population size, and the purchasing power. What was the reason for this proliferation, and what outcomes could be expected from it? Would the winners necessarily be the MNE’s, and the losers the local SME’S? These were the questions that focused our research for this paper. With the opening of the CEE to the West, large multinational retailers moved quickly into the region. This was particularly true for the extended food retailing sector (FMCG’s). Hungary, being very central, and having had good economic relations with the West in the past, was one of the more attractive markets to enter. We will follow the entry of one such multinational, Delhaize (Match), in detail. At the same time, we will note how two independent local chains, CBA and COOP were able to respond to the threat of the invasion of the multinationals.

    Village Shops Newsletter - Spring 2017 News from Local Shops: Appleton Shop Has a Re-vamp. On 29th Feb, Appleton-with- Eaton Village shop held a meeting in the Village Hall for volunteers, local users and potential users of the shop, to come and hear all about the exiting changes happening and to make their comments on the changes. Over 100 people turned up! The new improved shop opened on Saturday 8th April. They now have a new inside coffee area, new product ranges (including more locally produced products), increased chilled and frozen stock and a new ‘Epos System’.The refit is costing around £15k, with a £6k grant from the Post Office really helping out. I bet there is a real buzz in in the village… A New Drinks Cabinet for Hanney Community Shop. Hanneys volunteer shop manager, Hazel Abraham, applied to the Post Office Community Branch Fund for a new drinks cabinet. As you can see it is eye catching. Cold drinks sell well to school children and cyclists. For those shops who have a Post Office in your shop, There is still plenty of money in the Post Office Community Branch Fund which you can apply to in order to develop and improve your Post Office business. Example of improvements people have made include a tea room, improved signage, flooring, shelving lighting. Most applications are below £10,000 and sometimes £2,000 and below for outreach services, however it is possible to apply for more than this. Please see the details on the Post Office website. http://postofficecommunityfund.co.uk If you’re not sure what you could use the Community Branch Fund for, you can give the Network Transformation Helpline a call to discuss some ideas on 0845 266 8790 News from Local Shops Continued..
