  • Retailers' Produce and Vegetable Supply Management
    Retailers’ Produce and Vegetable Supply Management: A Teaching Case Kurt Christensen Phone: 541-760-6172 [email protected] Zhaohui Wu Phone: 541-737-3514 [email protected] College of Business Oregon State University Corvallis, Oregon 97331 0 Abstract This teaching case compares and contrasts store operations and supply management of produce and vegetable of two very different grocery retailers. It illustrates the purchasing processes, supplier relationship management and merchandise strategies of each store. The objective of this case is to help students understand the competition and current development of produce and vegetable sector and challenge and opportunities in managing perishable food products. Class discussion questions are provided in the end of the case and teaching notes will be provided upon request. Key word: good supply chain, supply management, produce and vegetables, teaching case Background Produce and vegetable retailers face challenges in produce and vegetable purchasing every day. The products they sell are perishable mandating rapid inventory turns. Many items require special handling, storage and frequent inspections to reassess quality and safety. Many customers now expect and demand more choices such as natural and organic produce and vegetable products. In addition, traditional retailers face increasing competition from niche natural food stores such as Whole Foods, local co-ops, Farmer’s Markets and Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) to innovate and meet the demands of changing demographics. The growing demand for social and environmental sustainability creates both opportunities and challenges for retailers. This trend mandates changes in how they manage logistics/inventory, supply relationship, product branding, store management and pricing decisions.

  • Federal Retail Pharmacy Partnership Strategy for COVID-19 Vaccination for General Public Program Summary of Program for Jurisdictions
    December 2, 2020 Federal Retail Pharmacy Partnership Strategy for COVID-19 Vaccination for General Public Program Summary of Program for Jurisdictions The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are partnering with pharmacies to increase access to COVID-19 vaccine once one or more vaccines are authorized by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for use in the United States. There are two federal pharmacy programs: The Pharmacy Partnership for Long-Term Care Program and the Federal Retail Pharmacy Partnership Strategy for COVID-19 Vaccination. Through the Federal Retail Pharmacy Partnership Strategy for COVID-19 Vaccination, retail pharmacy partners can help jurisdictions augment access to vaccine when supply increases and vaccine is recommended beyond the initial populations. With more than 90% of people in the United States living within five miles of a pharmacy, pharmacies have unique reach and ability to provide access to COVID-19 vaccine and support broad vaccination efforts. This program will provide critical vaccination services for the U.S. population, with vaccine administered at store locations at no cost to recipients. The program will be implemented in close coordination with jurisdictions to ensure optimal COVID-19 vaccination coverage and vaccine access nationwide. Program activation will be on a national scale, with select pharmacy partners receiving a direct allocation of COVID- 19 vaccine. Timing and scale of activation (how many partners, how many stores) will depend on various factors, including supply. The federal retail pharmacy program does not include every pharmacy in the United States. Pharmacies not included in the federal program will need to coordinate with their jurisdictions to become COVID- 19 vaccination providers.

  • Operating Divisions MAJOR MARKETS
    Operating Divisions Kroger’s operating structure is a balance between our corporate office in Cincinnati, Ohio, and our 21 supermarket operating divisions. This balance keeps merchandising decisions closest to the Customer while achieving synergies in back office operations in order to maximize operating efficiencies and minimize operating costs. In areas that directly affect the Customer, Kroger’s decentralized structure places substantial authority for merchandising and operating decisions in our supermarket divisions. Divisional managers are able to respond quickly to changes in competition and Customer preferences within each local market. For administrative processes that offer economies of scale or are invisible to the Customer (such as procurement, accounting, treasury, operations, etc.), Kroger® leverages its size and centralizes those functions to create value for Customers and better returns for shareholders. Kroger’s 21 supermarket operating divisions are: Division Headquarters # Stores Harris Teeter Charlotte, NC 234 Kroger Southwest* Houston, TX 217 Ralphs Los Angeles, CA 204 Kroger Atlanta Atlanta, GA 186 Roundy’s Milwaukee, WI 151 King Soopers/City Market Denver, CO 148 Smith’s Salt Lake City, UT 138 Kroger Central Indianapolis, IN 136 Fred Meyer Stores Portland, OR 132 Food 4 Less Los Angeles, CA 131 Kroger Michigan Novi, MI 127 Kroger Columbus Columbus, OH 122 Kroger Mid-Atlantic Roanoke, VA 120 Fry’s Food & Drug Phoenix, AZ 119 Kroger Cincinnati Cincinnati, OH 109 Kroger Delta Memphis, TN 104 Kroger Louisville Louisville, KY 97 Kroger Nashville Nashville, TN 92 Dillons Food Stores Hutchinson, KS 81 Jay C/Ruler Seymour, IN 65 Quality Food Centers (QFC) Seattle, WA 65 TOTAL 2,778 *Beginning in 2016, the Southwest Division separated into two separate divisions (Dallas and Houston).

    National Weeks of Action: Show Kroger What They’d Be Missing without Bees and Other Pollinators Thank you for joining thousands of people coast-to-coast to swarm Kroger stores the weeks surrounding Labor Day (August 26 – September 10) to urge Kroger to stop selling food grown with bee-killing pesticides. We need your help to turn up the heat on Kroger by demonstrating how many sales they would lose if they don’t stop selling food grown with bee-killing pesticides.

We’re asking folks across the country to take two pictures of their grocery cart. One picture with all the food you’d purchase at Kroger pollinated by bees and one with only food not pollinated by bees! This Kroger photo action is easy. Below are some tips to help. If you have any questions or need help preparing, please drop us a line at [email protected] or call 202-222-0738 To learn more visit www.foe.org/beeaction. I. Instructions for Kroger Photo Action: 1) Pick a day and time to go grocery shopping at one of Kroger’s supermarkets between August 26 and September 10 (work this into your Labor Day or normal weekly shopping!). 2) Find a Kroger store near you by entering your zip code into the following website: • https://www.kroger.com/stores/storeLocator • Note: Kroger operates under a lot of different brand names!

  • Kroger: Value Trap Or Value Investment - a Deep Due Diligence Dive
    Kroger: Value Trap Or Value Investment - A Deep Due Diligence Dive seekingalpha.com /article/4115509-kroger-value-trap-value-investment-deep-due-diligence-dive Chuck 10/23/2017 Walston The acquisition of Whole Foods Market, announced by Amazon ( AMZN) last June sent shockwaves through the grocery industry. 1/20 When the deal was finalized in August, Amazon announced plans to lower the prices of certain products by as much as a third. The company also hinted at additional price reductions in the future. Amazon Prime members will be given special savings and other in-store benefits once the online retail giant integrates its point of sale system into Whole Foods stories. 2/20 Analysts immediately predicted a future of widespread margin cuts across the industry. Well before Amazon's entry into stick and brick groceries, Kroger ( KR) experienced deterioration in comparable store sales. 3/20 (Source: Kroger Investor Presentation slideshow) (Source: SEC Filings via SA contributor Quad 7 Capital) Additionally, Kroger's recent results reflect gross margin compression. 4/20 (Source: SEC Filings via SA contributor Quad 7 Capital) After the takeover, Whole Foods initiated a price war. According to Reuters, prices at a Los Angeles Whole Foods store are lower on some products than comparable goods sold in a nearby Ralph's store owned by Kroger. The Threat From Amazon Research conducted by Foursquare Labs Inc. indicates the publicity surrounding Amazon's recent acquisition of Whole Foods, combined with the announcement of deep price cuts, resulted in a 25% surge in customer traffic. Not content to attack conventional grocers with their panoply of online food services and margin cuts, Amazon registered a trademark application for a meal-kit service.
