Agricultural Economic Report No. 678. Abstract U.S. grocery sales were over $820 billion in 1993. Profits from operations for food manufac- turers and retailers rose in 1992 and 1993 because of continued wage and producer price sta- bility, a weaker dollar, and lower interest rates. Merger and leveraged buyout transactions fell in 1991, rose in 1992 but fell again in 1993. Debt levels increased. In 1993, aggressive competition for market shares resulted in record new product introductions, intensive cou- poning, strong private label sales, and price weakening. New plant and equipment and re- search and development expenditures reached new highs.

Food share of disposable income fell to an all-time low of 11.4 percent. Other highhghts include: • The food system added an estimated $614 billion in value to the $126 billion of U.S. farm products, $22 billion in foreign processed food com- modities, and $9 billion in seafood products purchased in 1992. Food manufacturers, retailers, wholesalers, and foodservice firms comprise the Nation's largest sales marketing system, contributing about 10.5 percent to gross domestic product (GDP) in 1992. • Both food processors' and retailers' level of profit from operations rose in 1992, but returns on stockholders' equity fell Food processors' profits rose again in 1993. • Merger and leveraged buyout activity rose in 1992, following 3 years of sharp declines. Recorded mergers and leveraged buyouts (LBO's) amounted to $3 billion m 1991 and $5.7 billion in 1992. There were 356 mergers and LBO's in 1992. Activity declined again in 1993. Debt levels rose in 1992 for food processors and retailers. • Capital expenditures in food manufacturing at the corporate level rose to an estimated $19 billion in both 1992 and 1993. Three hundred seventy-six new plant projects were initiated in fiscal 1992, up from 305 in 1991. Common stock prices of food marketing firms underperformed other sec- tors of the economy for the first time in a decade in 1992 and kept falling in 1993. On the cost side, wages rose modestly in 1992 and 1993. Manufacturers' purchase prices of farm foods fell slightly in both 1992 and 1993. Food manufacturers produced an estimated 230,000 packaged food prod- ucts in 1991 (fig. 1). Competition among manufacturers and retailers for consumer preference was expressed in small price increases and sharp non- price firm competition. Average retail food prices in grocery stores rose 0.7 percent in 1992. Manufacturers spent nearly $11 billion in consumer advertising and fiercely competed for a greater share of the limited amount of retail shelf space in 1991. Despite the continued economic slowdown, nearly 16,750 new grocery products were introduced in 1992. The international performance of the U.S. food marketing system is meas- ured by its balance of trade, sales from foreign operations, and foreign investment. For the first time in 10 years, the food processing sector showed a positive trade balance. Foreign affiliates of U.S. food marketing firms had estimated sales of $125 billion in 1992, while U.S. food market- ing affiliates of foreign firms had estimated sales of $120 billion.

    Infogroup Business Listing File Company location: Omaha, Nebraska Web address: www.infousa.com Description: Infogroup collects information on approximately 11 million private and public US companies. Individual businesses are located by address geocoding—not all will have an exact location. The Esri geocoder integrates an address-based approach with more than eighty-one million residential and commercial U.S. address records from the NAVTEQ Point Addressing database. This database maps street addresses to a physical location so each address is a fixed point and not an interpolation from an address range. The geocoder uses address locators in a cascading fallback approach to ensure a match for as many records as possible. The primary locator utilizes the NAVTEQ Point Addressing database. The secondary locator utilizes the NAVTEQ Street Address Range database. Records that did not match fall back to the geocode provided by Infogroup. Businesses can be retrieved by their Standard Industrial Classification Code (SIC) as well as by North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Code and Location. The Infogroup Business File can be used for locating both competitors and marketing opportunities. This data is current as of July 2011.

Joseph and George were both stock brokers at Merrill Lynch. The brothers formed a partnership upon buying the business and were joined by their younger brother in the work. The three of them working 7 days a week for 80 to 90 hours per week for a couple of years to build up the business. The neighborhood responded positively to all the changes and helped them grow over the years. George decided to leave the business in 1994, so Joseph bought his interest in the business on July 1, 1994. Omar took over the deli/meat counter at that time as well, leasing the space from Le Beau. Le Beau Nob Hill Market initiated its first remodel in 2000. Omar left the business in 2004 due to complications from multiple sclerosis. Joseph was fortunate in attracting great employees from the neighborhood who became part of his extended family, including several “local boys” that were formerly employed with the San Francisco Police Department.
