Yes we are back in the mountains! Those NF ‘historians’ among us will remember that until 2006 this meeting was held at the Hotel Jerome in Aspen, Colorado. We know many of you loved that mountain setting, and recall with fondness the time when you knew everyone at the meeting personally, every afternoon was totally free, and everyone could fit onto the Jerome’s terrace for the farewell dinner. Those early meetings were special and those of you who took part were the pioneers who laid the founding stones of NF research. We outgrew the Hotel Jerome in 2007, as meeting attendance grew from 140 in 2005 to over 300 in 2010. What happened? In short, NF research progress happened. We are no longer speculating about NF clinical trials – they are underway. As of this spring, 19 NF specific trials were listed on clinicaltrials.gov. This is incredible progress. The NF Conference remains the foremost venue for world-class discussion on NF biology. But it is now also now a forum for the clinicians to discuss ongoing NF trials, and to collaborate with the scientists as to the next drugs they should consider. The meeting agenda has expanded to accommodate these new developments in our search to unlock the mysteries of NF.

Stiegert and Vardges Hovhannisyan 1. 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.
