Crest White Strips and Iced Coffee
4/24/13
Comp II/Ledbetter
Crest White Strips and Iced Coffees Living in the 21st Century, there have been so many changes to grocery stores. In the past, you could never walk into the grocery store and purchase food and clothing all in the same place. While there have been so many changes, our lifestyles have evolved as well. So many people attend the grocery on a daily basis. It also used to be the mother’s job to grocery shop and the now the roles have shifted a little and fathers grocery shop too. Some families even make it an outing and everyone goes to ensure that they have everything they need. So many other stores have added their own grocery sections to compete with grocery stores. Now gas stations and dollar stores have grocery areas when you can purchase small necessities so you won’t have to go to the actual market. Unlike in the past, Wal-Mart and Target also have an electronic department which allows you to make a one-stop shop and get everything you may need. The prices of items have also gone up significantly which causes us to live differently and save more money. I feel as though milk is a perfect example of an item that has changed over the 21st century. We have so many different flavors to choose from and the brands have also branched out by having different extensions of their products, such as iced coffees and smoothies. Another item that has changed our lifestyles over the years that never ceases to amaze me is Crest white strips and at-home whitening kits. A task that once had to be scheduled at a dentist office can now be done at in home in matter of 30 minutes or less. This definitely changes our lifestyle and values because tradition is to attend the dentist but throughout the years we have learned that it is more cost effective and takes less time to do it yourself. Though many people may feel as though our lives are evolving so quickly, everything evolves together. We as people change to accommodate the times and trends.

    COMPANY NAME 2012 A major factor in deciding to pursue the purchase of the grocery store was sustainability. Because food is an item that everybody must consume, the owners determined that in poor economic times a grocery business will still be profitable, all be it, not as profitable as it could be in good economic times, thus, the decision to purchase this type of business rather than restaurant . In other words, the food industry is not impervious to peril; however, if you run the business well, you will sustain tough economic times and larger competition. Small community grocery stores are similar to larger chains, in that, you are connected to a distribution warehouse to provide you with product. There are several grocery distributors in the US. You just need to identify a distributor that provides service to your community. Start up costs was a factor in determining the grocery distributor. Several require certain upfront costs and a commitment of certain amount of weekly service, the owners selected General Distributors, Inc. out of CITY to provide bi weekly service to the community market. The proximity and lower service fees were a contributing factor. Summarizing, a grocery store must be a part of a larger distribution network to receive product deliveries. Consumers purchase products based on cost, availability, freshness, and convenience. Certainly it is convenient to have a local grocery store rather than commute 45 miles to the nearest Wal Mart or other…

    The world is has never been the same. People living a century ago, can never imagine the world we are living in. Over the last one hundred years we have seen extraordinary changes in technology. We had been on the foul smelling four leg carts and now at the foul smelling gas consuming four wheels. We wished to be like birds flying here and there, now we are visiting planets and isolated areas. We dreamed to go “Around the world in Eighty Days” and now we communicate across the world in seconds. The culture of the people changes accordingly with the devolvement in science and technology. From the literature to living styles, every thing changes shape with the passage of time.…
