The Evolution of the Food Industry -After the rise of fast food chains= the invention of microwaves. -Meals like TV dinners and prepackaged foods became popular. -This meant that people did not need to cook meals from scratch to eat= they were able to eat in the comfort of their own home or in front of your favorite tv show. While those meals may have been more convenient, the restaurant Industry saw promise in refocusing on nutritional dishes from all ethnic backgrounds. Impressive Dishes Americans prepared exotice foods for dinner parties the combinations of random food put together was popular during the 1970s Popular Dishes Pineapple was well liked due to the increase interest in Hawaiian culture Fondue Quiche Carrot cake Mobile Food Truck ● In 1974, Raul Martinez converted an old ice cream truck into the nation’s first taco truck, King Taco, and parked it outside of an East Los Angeles bar.

  • Pollo Campero in the USA
    Pollo Campero in the USA Track: Management Education and Teaching Cases Key words: fast food industry, business strategy, emerging economies, domestic companies, MNCs 1 Pollo Campero in the USA Abstract This case illustrates the challenges that Pollo Campero, a Guatemalan fast food company, faces when expanding in the US market, and it was initially very successful because it appealed to consumers of Central American origin, but found it harder to appeal to a broader range of US consumers, who had no emotional attachment to the brand. The aim is to stimulate a discussion about consumer segmentation, competitive strategy and the internationalization of emerging market multinationals. It is a complex, in-depth case study suitable for use with advanced MBA students and practitioners. 2 It was a steamy 2010 hot summer afternoon in Dallas. In his air-conditioned office in the Lincoln Centre Tower II, Roberto Denegri, President of Pollo Campero, a Guatemalan fast food company, grappled with the question of what Pollo Campero’s growth strategy should be. Pollo Campero entered the US in 2002, with a single restaurant in Los Angeles. Since then, it had expanded rapidly, and by 2010 it had 48 restaurants in 12 states and Washington DC, largely because of its popularity with clients of Central American origin. The market research report sitting on Denegri’s desk provided a clear picture of consumer segments in the US market it was now time to make some critical decisions. Pollo Campero Pollo Campero, loosely translated to “country chicken”, was founded in Guatemala in 1971 by Dionisio Gutiérrez. It offered customers a new fast-food concept in terms of flavor: a tender, juicy, crispy chicken, marinated with a mix of species highlighting Central American flavors.

Preserving Los Angeles's Googie: An Analysis of a Commercial Style, Change, and Preservation Abstract "Inspired by the imposing forms of planes, ships, and sleek futuristic technology, Googie gave Los Angeles’s commercial architecture “wings, angles, texture, color, and just about anything else that would catch the eye and lure a passing motorist.” Like its Programmatic precursor, Googie was cultivated in a vernacular commercial landscape geared towards advertisement. The style defied tradition with its glossary of dramatic angles; its ostentatious color palette; and its use of steel, chrome, and neon. Notably, it saw extensive use in the most vernacular of commercial structures, lending character to bowling alleys, motels, car washes, gas stations, and restaurants. By the 1960s Googie architecture had spread beyond the Southern California boundaries, dotting the country with corresponding roadside designs. However, by the 1980s the style’s popularity had waned, and stiff competition in the commercial landscape coupled with a pressure to maximize the profitability of prime real-estate locations, resulted in the demolition of significant Googie structures.
