  • Understanding Trader Joe's
    Understanding Trader Joe’s May 2006 Coriolis Research Ltd. is a strategic market research firm founded in 1997 and based in Auckland, New Zealand. 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. Recent reports have included an analysis of Retail Globalization: Who’s Winning” and “Understanding Costco.” 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. Eden, Auckland 1030, New Zealand Tel: +64 9 623 1848; Fax: +64 9 353 1515; email: [email protected] www.coriolisresearch.com Understanding Trader Joe’s PROJECT SCOPE & LIMITATIONS The objective of this document is to give the reader, whether retailer or manufacturer, a deep understanding of Trader Joe’s – This overview of Trader Joe’s has a number of key objectives: – Clearly explain the origin and development of this unique concept – Develop an understanding of historic growth and, by implication, future growth potential of the chain – Explore all facets of this complex store concept from multiple points-of-view – The key limitation of this report is the extremely limited amount of publicly available information on Trader Joe’s – Trader Joe’s is a private company owned outright by reclusive German Billionaire Theo Albrecht, who along with his brother Karl, founded and still owns the global Aldi supermarket group – Theo bought Trader Joe’s in 1979 from Founder Joe Coulombe.

  • Learning from the Challenges of Our Times: Global Security, Terrorism, and 9/11 in the Classroom
    LEARNING FROM THE CHALLENGES OF OUR TIMES: Global Security, Terrorism, and 9/11 in the Classroom A New Curricular Initiative for Students in Grades K-12 LEARNING FROM THE CHALLENGES OF OUR TIMES: Global Security, Terrorism, and 9/11 in the Classroom We are most grateful for the generous grants from The Investors Savings Bank Foundation that made the publication of this curriculum possible. July 2011 Dear Educator: The 4 Action Initiative, a collaboration of Families of September 11, Liberty Science Center and The New Jersey Commission on Holocaust Education, is pleased to present a new curriculum, Learning from the Challenges of Our Times: Global Security, Terrorism and 9/11 in the Classroom. New Jersey teachers can visit http://www. state.nj.us/education/holocaust for NJ Core Curriculum Standards related to the lesson plans. All educators are encouraged to check there for updates and additional resources. At the 4 Action Initiative inaugural conference in July of 2008, Governor Tom Kean spoke eloquently about the need to educate students about global security and the legacy of September 11th saying, “education is a must to eliminate these tragedies in the future and to educate all as to what happened on 9/11.” The lessons contained in this curriculum were developed, piloted in over 60 New Jersey school districts, revised and refined by curriculum developers and the 4 Action Initiative team. While there are lessons for all grade levels, teachers should adjust the lessons for their classes, always taking into account the ages of their students, the potentially traumatic nature of some lessons as they refer to violence, terrorism, and the tragedy of the day (9/11).

NEVER ON SUNDAY: THE BLUE LAWS CONTROVERSY NEIL J. DILLOFF* No day of the week has spawned as many legal disputes as Sunday.' Many normal daily pursuits such as working, contracting, mailing letters and engaging in recreational activities are affected by whether or not they occur on Sunday. Limitations on these activities are a result of Sunday closing laws (or "blue laws") passed by both state and local governments. This article will discuss and analyze the most commonly litigated Sunday restriction - restrictions imposed on the sale of merchandise to the public. 2 Sunday closing laws are enacted pursuant to a state's police power to preserve the health, safety, and welfare of its citizenry. As such, the laws are generally presumed to be a valid exercise of this power.3 Blue laws are unique, however, because they impose criminal sanctions on what is generally regarded as legitimate commercial enterprise, merely because such commerce occurs on a particular day of the week.

  • Federal Trade Commission Volume Decision 102 (July
    950 FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION DECISIONS Initial Decision 102 F. ever initiated a general price-cutting program. (Posey 1651; Gooding 1121-23) Industry members in Orlando, such as independents like Fairway, tend to price off these market leaders. (Posey 1651; Gooding 1121-22; Spearman 80G-01) Albertson s entry into Orlando led to a decrease in prices in that market. (Posey 1649; CX 64G-1) Prices are high enough in Orlando to attract other new entrants, but entry must be suffcient to over- come existing entry barriers. (Cheek 1597-98) When Fairway, the largest independent in Orlando, cut prices heavily below the market and increased advertising in 1978, neither Publix, Winn-Dixie nor Albertson s reacted. (Posey 1639) Mr. Gooding s three large stores in Orlando are not listed on the price-checking service used by Orlando s major competitors. (Posey 1651) Mr. Spearman testified that, in his opinion, entry into Orlando by a major firm like Grand Union would lead to a decrease in prices and a redistribution of market shares, especially affecting the market leaders. (Spearman 803-04) Respondents argue that complaint counsel' s concentration figures overstate the amount of concentration in (148) this SMSA because they fail to account for the influence of the local commissary and of convenience stores in Orlando. (RPF 197-207) According to public records, the Orlando Naval Training Station Commissary had sales in fiscal 1978 (including three months of calendar 1977) of$16.7 milion or $321 000 weekly. In terms ofCX 2 and CX 3, the commissary would have been the sixth-ranked competitor in 1977, replacing A & P in that position.
