Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 ABSTRACT Background: Previous research has suggested that foods which are beneficial to health are more expensive, and more difficult to obtain, in deprived as compared to affluent areas, and that this may help to explain the greater adherence to healthy eating guidelines in more affluent areas of the UK. Recent government policy initiatives to combat poor access to healthy diets have been partly based upon studies that have investigated intra-urban spatial variations in food price and availability. However those studies which provide the evidence base for government policy are: few in number, on a very small scale, and based upon data which in light of recent changes in the food retail economy may be out of date. Aims: This study aims to rectify these problems, and to update and extend previous surveys. In doing so it addresses four main questions: • Are there spatial variations in food retail provision in urban areas of the UK? • Does the price and availability of food vary by type of shop in an urban area? • Aie there differences in food price and availability by level of deprivation in urban areas? • Which is the strongest predictor of food price and availability: shop location, shop type or magnitude of area level of deprivation? Method: A survey, on foot, of the price and availability of fifty-seven food items taken from the Family Budget Unit’s ‘Modest but Adequate Diet’ (1993) was undertaken in a random sample of food retail stores drawn from the Public Registers of Food Premises covering the Glasgow area, a large and socially heterogeneous urban centre in the West of Scotland. A response rate of 97.7% (n=250) of eligible food stores was achieved. Results: In the majority of cases, the price and availability of these food items did not significantly differ between areas at a variety of spatial scales. Those food items that did significantly differ in price were found, for the most part, to be cheaper in poorer areas. For food availability no real pattern was detected. The location of food shopping opportunities in the city was, on the whole, evenly distributed and the types of stores that present the greatest opportunities in teims of price efficiency and food availability were evenly distributed in poorer areas. Some of those few foods that did differ significantly in price and availability were items whose consumption is discouraged in contemporary dietary guidelines. Conclusion: This project is the largest and most systematic study of spatial variations in food price and availability undertaken to date in the UK. Previous research literature has suggested that food is more expensive and less available in poorer urban areas, and that some deprived urban areas do not have adequate food shopping facilities. This study provides some evidence that this is not the case in Glasgow in the late 1990s. Changes in the food retail economy since the early to mid 1990s may have precipitated this change. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS There have been lots of people of have helped and encouraged me over the course of this thesis. Firstly I would like to thank my supervisor Prof Sally Macintyre. Not only did she provide me with excellent supervision but also allowed me to pursue a whole host of other wonderful academic opportunities (some say diversions) during the course of this thesis. I would also like to thank my colleagues at the MRC Social & Public Health Sciences Unit, particularly Geoff Der for patiently explaining the workings of SPSS. Thanks also go to Professor Leigh Sparks at the University of Stirling and Mark Petti crew at the MRC for reading complete drafts and providing excellent feedback and comments. I have come into contact with a wide variety of people, some of whom have become friends and more, during the course of this thesis. They have provided encouragements, diversions and drunkenness and are too many to mention here. However I would particularly like to mention the following; my parents (despite having to explain what actual use a PhD was on a regular basis), my sister Fiona (for pressing random telephone buttons), Rhona McLennan, James Leek, Caroline McDermott, Helen Betts (for frequent roast dinners) and also my friends back in Southend-on-Sea; Jon, Rob, Jason, Suzy & Carlton (who all assume that a PhD is a route to riches and glory). Special thanks go to Ceinwen for email encouragement and more during the last 12 months.

INTRODUCTION The supermarket is an important innovation that transformed retailing in post-war Britain.1 However, detailed explorations of shoppers’ reactions toward, and involvement in, the changing service encounters occurring in these new retail formats are generally lacking. This is a significant shortcoming because shoppers had to negotiate fundamental changes to their interactions with the physical environment of the store, the retail staff, other customers, and the products for sale.2 In this paper we begin to fill this gap in understanding through an analysis of the attitudes and behaviours of those who shopped at the early supermarkets (up to about 1975).

  • The Global Grocery and General Merchandising Market Marketing Essay
    The Global Grocery And General Merchandising Market Marketing Essay Jack Cohen founded Tesco in 1919 when he began to sell surplus groceries from a stall at Well Street Market, Hackney, in the East End of London (ironically, the market is now much smaller than in those days; a large Tesco Metro store now sits on the site.)[11] The Tesco brand first appeared in 1924. The name came about after Jack Cohen bought a shipment of tea from T.E. Stockwell. He made new labels using the first three letters of the supplier’s name (TES), and the first two letters of his surname (CO), forming the word TESCO.[12] The first Tesco store was opened in 1929 in Burnt Oak, Edgware, Middlesex. Tesco was floated on the London Stock Exchange in 1947 as Tesco Stores (Holdings) Limited.[11] The first self-service store opened in St Albans in 1956 (which remained operational until 2010, with a period as a Tesco Metro),[13] and the first supermarket in Maldon in 1956.[11] During the 1950s and the 1960s Tesco grew organically, and also through acquisitions, until it owned more than 800 stores. The company purchased 70 Williamsons stores (1957), 200 Harrow Stores outlets (1959), 212 Irwins stores (1960, beating Express Dairies Premier Supermarkets to the deal), 97 Charles Phillips stores (1964) and the Victor Value chain (1968) (sold to Bejam in 1986).[14] Originally specialising in food and drink, it has diversified into areas such as clothing, electronics, financial services, telecoms, home, health, car, dental and pet insurance, retailing and renting DVDs,[10] CDs, music downloads, Internet services and software.

Coriolis primarily works with clients in the food and fast moving consumer goods supply chain, from primary producers to retailers. In addition to working with clients, Coriolis regularly produces reports on current industry topics. The coriolis force, named for French physicist Gaspard Coriolis (1792-1843), may be seen on a large scale in the movement of winds and ocean currents on the rotating earth. It dominates weather patterns, producing the counterclockwise flow observed around low-pressure zones in the Northern Hemisphere and the clockwise flow around such zones in the Southern Hemisphere. It is the result of a centripetal force on a mass moving with a velocity radially outward in a rotating plane. In market research it means understanding the big picture before you get into the details. PO BOX 10 202, Mt.
