  • Tandur Media-The Founders
    The Founders: The Patel Brothers After owning many franchise restaurants over the past decade, the Patel brothers decided it was time to indulge their true passion and create a place of their own. Besides, they were craving good Indian food, and it is hard to nd. So H.P. and J.T Patel sought one of the most famous Indian chefs in the world, Hari Nayak. Hemanshu “H.P.” and Jatin “J.T.” Patel were born in Gujarat, India and grew up in Knoxville, Tennessee. They co-own several restaurants in three markets, and they are six-time award winners for best franchise operations. As part of the growth of Salsarita’s since its early days, the Patels have gained valuable insights from restaurant industry leaders as part of their “business tuition.” The Patels consulted with designers, restaurant industry experts, chefs, and food marketers to execute their vision through every detail of the dining experience. With investors from the hospitality industry backing their passion, they have the expertise, the vision, expert consultants, and the capital to make a serious entry in new territory. Their team has developed its recipe for success: Foods that satisfy the market’s appetite for bold, ethnic avors with fresher, less common, and more wholesome ingredients. Served in a place that meets industry demand for a ner version of fast-casual restaurant – a more authentic dining experience with more ambience. And, yes, it’s Eco-friendly, too, right down to real plates made of 50 percent bamboo and plant-based napkins. The Patels looked at Knoxville and other markets in three states to decide where they would begin and where they might expand.

  • 'Always Low Prices': a Comparison of Costco to Wal-Mart's Sam's Club
    26 Academy of Management Perspectives August Decency Means More than “Always Low Prices”: A Comparison of Costco to Wal-Mart’s Sam’s Club Wayne F. Cascio* Executive Overview Wal-Mart’s emphasis on “Always low prices. Always” has made it the largest retail operation in history. However, this unrelenting mission has also created a way of doing business that draws substantial criticism regarding the company’s employment practices, relationships with suppliers, and the company’s impact on local economies. This paper focuses on a company that delivers low prices to consumers, but in a fundamentally different way than its competitor, Wal-Mart. That company is warehouse-retailer Costco. In the following sections we will begin by providing some background on the company, including its history, its business model, its ethical principles, core beliefs, and values. Then we will consider some typical Wall Street analysts’ assessments of this approach, followed by a systematic comparison of the financial performance of Costco with that of Sam’s Club, a warehouse retailer that is part of Wal-Mart. o be sure, Wal-Mart wields its awesome power source of unrelenting criticism. As Fishman for just one purpose: to bring the lowest possi- (2006) notes, the company’s core values seem to Tble prices to its customers.

  • Meijer Renewable Energy Strategy
    Meijer Renewable Energy Strategy Client: Meijer Inc. Master’s Project Final Report April 2018 A project submitted in partial fulfillment of the degree of Master of Science (School for Environment and Sustainability) University of Michigan School for Environment and Sustainability Student Team: Chun Yin Anson Chang, Xiaodan Zhou, Geoffrey Murray Advisors: Professor Greg Keoleian Michael Elchinger, National Renewable Energy Laboratory Abstract As one of the largest energy consumers in the Midwest, Meijer is seeking opportunities to decrease its fossil fuel based electricity consumption. The SEAS MS project team worked to identify and evaluate opportunities to expand Meijer's renewable energy portfolio by understanding the current state of energy consumption, benchmarking Meijer with their competition, and developing a tailored renewable energy strategy to meet Meijer's sustainability goals. The scope of this project included understanding the baseline of Meijer's electricity consumption, evaluating on-site generation opportunities, evaluating off-site procurement opportunities, and developing a pre-development guide tool to be used to analyze specific projects before making investments into project development. The project resulted in a per year prioritization list that considered the economic benefit of potential projects at every store site given annual budgetary constraints and project NPVs, an analysis of off-site Power Purchase Agreement opportunities, a comprehensive renewable energy strategy for on-site and off-site renewable energy generation, and an excel based pre-development guide to further analyze specific projects. Executive Summary The School for Environment and Sustainability (SEAS) team worked with Meijer, Inc. to continue the work of improving energy sustainability at Meijer. The 2014 SNRE team that previously worked with Meijer identified energy consumption as the sustainability category with the greatest environmental impacts (SNRE Team 2015).

  • Trader Joe's Vs. Whole Foods Market
    MIT Students Trader Joe’s vs. Whole Foods Market: A Comparison of Operational Management 15.768 Management of Services: Concepts, Design, and Delivery 1 Grocery shopping is more diversified and evolved than ever before. Individuals across the nation have access to everything from exotic products to unique delivery services. Often, specialty stores have limited locations whereas specialty services have a limited reach. However, two retailers have expanded to hundreds of locations while adhering to unexpected market positioning for previously untargeted market segments. Whole Foods Market and Trader Joe’s have become household names while also innovating beyond regional and national traditional chains. Despite comparable size in terms of locations, each store’s growth has operated using a very different model. This document will address the various facets for both Whole Foods Market and Trader Joe’s in order to understand how each business model has won a piece of the market pie and share of wallet. Whole Foods Market Background and History In 1978, John Mackey had a vision to build a store that would meet his desire for whole, natural foods as part of the movement away from artificial, processed foods. Mackey was a college dropout, but against all odds he was able to borrow $45,000 in capital financing and open his first store for what would become Whole Foods in Austin, Texas.1 By all accounts it has been an incredible success and the most recent annual report (2009) reveals that there are 284 stores across most of the United States with a handful in Canada and Great Britain.2 2009 2008 2007 2006 Sales (000s) $8,031,620 $7,953,912 $6,591,773 $5,607,376 1 http://www.wholefoodsmarket.com/company/history.php 2 Whole Foods Market Annual Report (2009), pg.

  • The Us Grocery Industry in the 2020S
    Global Journal of Business Disciplines Volume 3, Number 1, 2019 THE U.S. GROCERY INDUSTRY IN THE 2020S: WHO WILL COME OUT ON TOP? Maamoun Ahmed, University of Minnesota Duluth ABSTRACT The world of grocery retail is constantly shifting. Competition continues to intensify driven by two main players: Amazon and Walmart. The two American giants are dominating the brick- and-mortar and online realms. However, they are being challenged by a German underdog, Aldi. Aldi’s business model is built around slashing cost without compromising quality. A typical Aldi store is 12,000 square feet, and carries a limited selection of mostly inexpensive private brands (1,000 SKUs). Merchandise is often stacked in the aisles and sold straight from the cardboard box it was shipped in. Basically, Aldi is a grocery store that's the size of a convenience store. Consequently, the deep-discount grocer has been able to appeal to a growing price-sensitive segment and continues to win over American consumers. Aldi U.S. has grown from one store in 1976 to almost 2,000 stores in 36 states in 2019, and has plans to expand to 2,500 stores by the end of 2022. There is no doubt the nimble “underdog” has disrupted the $700 billion grocery industry, and giants like Amazon, Kroger, and Walmart have no choice but to up their game. The retail behemoths are aggressively lowering prices and continuously refining online ordering and home delivery programs to respond to the threat Aldi poses. Selling groceries in America has never been harder. Can U.S.
