  • A Geotourism Analysis in Spring Green, Wisconsin
    Jennifer Reece Maggie Strassman Sara Dorsey Mike Kenyon Creativity Shining Through: A Geotourism Analysis in Spring Green, Wisconsin Introduction Canoeing down the Lowe Wisconsin River, paddlers encounter a variety ofthe state's natural and cultural wonders; blue herons stepping through marshes, rolling bluffs set against the open sky, and local residents casting lines off wooden docks. Our group's research interests span the discipline of geography, linking people with environment and evaluating ways in which they use their space, much like a paddler observes his or her surroundings. Our particular interests include sustainable tourism, working to provide incentives to protect natural areas, encouraging a vested interest in conserving biodiversity, urban parks and green space, and ecotourism as a form of community development. Combining our interests, we analyzed geotourism in Spring Green, as defined by National Geographic's Center for Sustainable Destinations, a forerunner in the emerging field ofgeotourism. Our research and conclusions are valuable to the Spring Green community, whose motto is "Creativity Shining Through" because they shed light on the impact ofthe area's tourist industry. The geotourism industry is a phenomenon generally applied to international or well-known places. However, we feel this project is an interesting complement to existing research, as well as our personal research endeavors. Literature Review Geotourism was first introduced as an idea in 2002 by National Geographic Traveler Magazine and the Travel Industry Association ofAmerica. Jonathan B. Tourtellot, editor of National Geographic, and wife Sally Bensusen coined the term a few years earlier due to the need for a concept more encompassing than simply sustainable tourism or ecotourism.

  • The General Store Era: Memoirs of Arthur and Harold Mittelstaedt
    Copyright © 1978 by the South Dakota State Historical Society. All Rights Reserved. The General Store Era: Memoirs of Arthur and Harold Mittelstaedt ROBERT A. MITTELSTAEDT Editor From colonial times to the early twentieth century, the general store was an important part of almost every rural community and small town in America. Although there is a tendency to em- phasize its social role, either as a gathering of Yankee story tellers around a potbellied stove with a cat dozing in an open cracker barrel or as the basis for a "leading family's" power in some Faulkneresque Deep South village, the general store sur- vived in rural America because it performed two important economic functions. First, it made available a diversified inven- tory of nonlocally produced goods and, second, it served as a marketing agency for locally produced commodities and crafts.' While bearing some resemblance to their Yankee and Southern predecessors, the general stores of the small towns in South Dakota reflected a different set of conditions. Their origins were as part of a business district in a town, probably founded by the railroad as the tracks were laid, which had been consciously in- tended as a trading center for the simultaneously developing cash farming operations that would surround it.^ Since these new towns also included single-line competitors, such as drug stores, apparel stores, and hardware stores, in addition to hotels, 1.

WIC & Food Stamps (SNAP) Resources Appendix Southern Illinois Introduction Healthy Convenience Store Project The Project This project focuses on making healthy food more accessible to rural residents, particularly those who must travel a long distance to grocery shopping. Residents in these areas must rely on convenience stores for grocery shopping in between periodic supermarket shopping trips. As a result, making healthy food available to these residents depends on improving what is stocked on the shelves of convenience stores. This project attempts to address this problem by encouraging retailers to incorporate more healthy food options into their stores through a healthy convenience store program. Who We Are: The Healthy Southern Illinois Delta Network (HSIDN) is a grassroots effort established to build consensus on the health needs of residents in southernmost Illinois.

  • DECISION the Log Cabin General Store
    Application by Tracey Skeet for a special licence for the premises The Log Cabin General Store, at 59 Burgess Street, Bicheno, 7215. Decision: Licence refused Date: 08 December 2020 The application The applicant seeks authority to sell Tasmanian liquor products under a special licence for consumption off the premises. The applicant describes the locality of the premises as a popular tourist destination for short-term accommodation, including camping. The current use of the premises is described as a general and hardware convenience store that provides a wide array of products, with a focus on providing items from the east coast and Tasmania generally. Opening hours are 9am to 3pm on weekdays and 10am to 2pm on weekends and public holidays. Off-street parking is available. The applicant indicates that the use of the premises will be modified in order to provide a wider range of Tasmanian products, including Tasmanian wine, beer and spirits to further enhance the customer experience. Liquor products would be incorporated without the need for substantial modifications. The applicant indicates that in the immediate local area liquor suppliers are limited, with only The Farm Shed providing a similar service to her proposal. The applicant states that the premises is more of a tourist and souvenir shop. Milk has only been stocked due to the coronavirus pandemic to meet local demand. Other than that she does not sell convenience store items. Online sites for the business confirm that stocks include homeware, souvenirs, hardware, art and garden supplies, camping and fishing products, gourmet goods and a few grocery items.

  • Seeking Market Access for Iowa-Based, Value-Added Food
    RWG02-05A Investigation of Strategic Partnership Opportunities with Iowa Convenience Store Retailers: Seeking Market Access for Iowa -Based, Value-Added Food Products By John Norwood, Sue Futrell and Mary Holz-Clause November 1, 2005 Introduction Recent stories from the popular press have suggested that convenience stores may be an untapped opportunity for Iowa producers to market local products. The purpose of this study was to investigate the interest that Iowa-based convenience stores (C-stores) may have in purchasing locally grown or locally prepared foods. Independent Iowa producers appear to be well situated to tap this rapidly growing market segment. Iowa is home to a significant number of C-store operations which span from the single store operator, to mid-sized operations with 5 to 20 stores, to large multi-state enterprises with 100 or more stores across the Midwest. While convenience stores historically have relied on the sale of gasoline, tobacco and other convenience products to provide three quarters of their revenue, the industry reports new trends toward expanded food offerings as a way to improve both revenue generation and overall store profitability. Sales of food products in C-stores have been steadily increasing as a proportion of revenue over the past 10 years. In many small rural towns where population declines have led to the closing of local grocery stores, the convenience store has taken its place as both a source of basic sundries and as a community node. Meanwhile in some urban intercity neighborhoods, mainstream grocery stores have relocated to more lucrative locations leaving C-stores to supply both gas and convenience groceries.
