According to the National Association for Convenience Stores, 37 million Americans refuel every day. Approximately 29 million pay for fuel with a credit or debit card. When skimming occurs at a gas station, it usually takes place at only one pump and a single compromised pump can capture data from more than 100 cards per day. Greene Publishing, Inc.

  • The Longevity of the Supermarket As a Non-Place in Don Delillo's White Noise
    FACTA UNIVERSITATIS Series: Linguistics and Literature Vol. 15, No 2, 2017, pp. 235-243 https://doi.org/10.22190/FULL1702235P THE LONGEVITY OF THE SUPERMARKET AS A NON-PLACE 1 IN DON DELILLO’S WHITE NOISE UDC 821.111(73).09-31 De Lillo D. Stefan Pajović University of Novi Sad, Faculty of Philosophy, Novi Sad, Serbia Abstract. The paper examines the setting of the supermarket as a non-place in Don DeLillo's novel White Noise, published in 1985, and its lastingness in contemporary culture. Critics have been mainly focusing on the consumerist and religious meaning of the place of the supermarket in the novel, disregarding its spatial implications. As a place, the concept of the supermarket is present in the philosophical thought of the French anthropologist Marc Augé who had developed the term “non-place” during the last decade of the twentieth century. It is this paper’s aim to prove beyond doubt that DeLillo’s concept of the supermarket, as portrayed in White Noise, matches Augé’s notion of a non-place. Other non-places include: a hotel room, a highway, or an airport. Furthermore, there exists a difference between “space” and “place” which is essential for the genesis of a non-place, including the one of the supermarket. This shopping area is marked by transience and created with a certain intention in mind, but it simultaneously represents a familiar place, which is precisely the way numerous DeLillo’s characters perceive it in the novel. The longevity of the supermarket as a non-place can be found in the present cultural context as well.

The son of a merchant, he ran his business with a simple motto: “Be particular. Never sell anything you would not want yourself.” This credo served Kroger well over the next 136 years as the supermarket business evolved into a variety of formats aimed at satisfying the ever-changing needs of shoppers. The Kroger Co. is a publicly held corpora- tion (NYSE: KR). Still based in Cincinnati, Kroger operates nearly 2,800 stores under two dozen banners, ranking as one of the world’s largest retailers.

    FullRETAIL PRODUCE Bloom PROFILE By Dave Diver An industry insider offers a personal take on Former vice president of produce at Hannaford and Food Lion’s innovative concept stores. a regular columnist for PRODUCE BUSINESS. In early 2004, Food Lion LLC, based in Salis- bury, NC, sparked supermarket industry curiosity by opening a concept store directed at satisfying the needs of consumers interest- ed in convenient take-out foods; until then, little had been accomplished within the industry to satisfy this growing niche engen- dered by lifestyles that were becoming increasingly time-compressed. For two years preceding the opening of this new type of food store, an international consumer research group studied customer behaviors, wants and needs. The unit was then designed from a shopper’s perspective — with an intuitive layout to take the hassle out of shopping and make the trip fun and easy. Salisbury, NC-based Bloom, as the new concept store is known, was especially compelling because it meant that a retail organization known for low prices with primarily blue- collar shoppers would be embarking on a most stores.

  • Market Structure Analysis of Florida Metropolitan and Micropolitan
    Retail Grocery Market Structure Analysis of Virginia Metropolitan and Micropolitan Areas Prepared for Virginia Community Capital (VCC) by The Reinvestment Fund (TRF) as part of the ReFresh initiative, supported by JPMorgan Chase | February 2015 Retail Grocery Market Structure Analysis of Virginia Metropolitan and Micropolitan Areas Prepared for Virginia Community Capital (VCC) by The Reinvestment Fund (TRF) as part of the ReFresh initiative, supported by JPMorgan Chase | February 2015 TRF’s Market Structure Analysis measures the concentration of market share within a region’s retail grocery industry. In general, as the concentration of market share within the top few grocers increases, the region’s overall level of competition within the industry decreases as it evolves into a tighter oligopoly.1 An oligopoly is a market condition in which the supply of a good or service is largely controlled by a small number of entities, each of which is in a position to influence prices, thus directly affecting its competitors’ ability to sustain profitability. After decades of mergers, acquisitions, and emphasis on economies of scale, the retail grocery industry has naturally evolved into an oligopoly, ranging in intensity from tight (fewer majority owners) to loose (more majority owners), based on the number of owning entities controlling the majority market share.2 TRF’s experience with the Pennsylvania Fresh Food Financing Initiative suggests that a tight oligopoly in at least one Pennsylvania metro area made market penetration especially difficult for local and regional grocers that were not members of the oligopoly. Conversely, loose oligopolies with less concentrated market share exhibited fewer barriers to entry for prospective grocers.
