...Safeway Mandy Cooper Ohio Christian University Author Note MG3020 Managers in Organization Professor Smith July 13, 2014 Safeway In American Falls, Idaho in 1915 M.B. Skaggs bought a business from his dad. It was a small grocery store; however, he had big plans. He had a business strategy that indeed was very successful. This strategy included offering value to the customers as well as expanding the business by keeping his profit margin narrow. In 1926 he had expanded to 428 Skaggs stores over 10 states. In that same year, he merged this company with 322 Safeway (formerly Selig) stores and became incorporated as Safeway, Inc. (“Our Story”, 2014, para. 1). This merger allowed Skaggs to almost double his business in just a short amount of time. Within two years he listed Safeway on the New York Stock Exchange. Even in the midst of the Great Depression, he never lost sight of his mission to offer value to all his customers. Safeway was the first grocery store to offer produce by the pound, added “sell by” dates on perishable foods, added nutritional labels, and even made parking lots all in the 1930’s. Today there are over 1600 Safeway stores in the United States and Canada. Some of these stores operate under a different name, but they still hold true to the vision of M.B. Skaggs to offer the customer great value. They have stores in Northern and Southern California, Nevada, Texas, and Alaska. “We’re proud to be a part of local communities, and our customers...

...Logan V. Canada Safeway Limited et al., 2006 BCSC 1733 (CanLII) Area of Law Negligence: failure to use reasonable care, resulting in damage or injury to another. Negligence involves harm caused by carelessness, not intentional harm. In other words, negligence means being a bystander who foresaw consequences, and did not take any action to prevent the injury as a normal person would. In this case, the Common Law applies. The Story / Facts On May 11, 2003, the plaintiff (Jody Ann Logan) was transferring from a Safeway shopping cart to her minivan. Some plastic bags of groceries that she had just purchased at the Tsawassen Safeway store broke and the groceries fell out, causing injury to her. She alleged that the bag of groceries that contained 2 bottles of pop, 1 carton of milk, and 1 tub of margarine, fell on her right foot and in reaction, she moved and twisted her left ankle. She grabbed at the side of the cart to keep herself from falling and hit her left palm and wrist against it. The Plaintiff claims that Safeway was liable in negligence for not training employees on how to pack plastic bags, in not providing assistance to help the plaintiff transfer bags to her vehicle, and putting too many grocery items in the plastic bag when there was potential danger to occur. To make things complicated, approximately one year after, the plaintiff also suffered injuries in a subsequent motor vehicle accident in April 5,2004 that contributed to her non-pecuniary damages...

...CVS Health Summary of Industry Characteristics December 31, 2014 Summary The Food and Drug Store industry consists of stores that primarily focus on the sale of food, drugs (nonprescription and prescription), or a combination of both. Typically smaller than General Merchandisers, such as Wal-Mart, the companies in the Food and Drug Store industry provide grocery products such as cold and hot foods, pharmaceuticals, general pet care, and typical household products meant for everyday living. Stores that fall within the industry may specialize in one aspect over the other, such as CVS Health in pharmacy and health care. Even though the major products of the industry are food and drugs, there are several other minor products like health clinics and fuel centers that play an important role in the industry. Industry Sales The industry revenues can range from $139,367 Million to $14,194 Million and profits range from $4,644 Million to $113 Million, just within the companies within the Fortune 500. Their revenue is mostly derived from their sales of their inventory, no matter which side of the industry they sell from. Since most companies will use FIFO inventory methods, this helps decrease their product waste due to expiration dates and will increase their total sales and revenue. Their highest costs tend to be for plant, property, and equipment. Kroger, for example, owns a majority of the buildings where their retail stores are located and they are slowly disposing of their...

...is able not only save on publicity costs, but use the tax benefits for food donation to help with cost. To keep and build clientele the company needs to get their name out in the public eye. To do so Company Q also needs to build their reputation as a company that cares. If a business seems empathetic to the public’s needs more people will support and recommend using Company Q’s services. It gives a consumer the feeling of helpfulness and of giving back. The consumer feels good about supporting a store that cares about the local community. Radio, television, and online and print advertisements all serve to draw customers to supermarkets. Advertising among the top four supermarket chains (Kroger Co., Albertson’s Inc., Safeway Inc. and Publix Super Markets, Inc.) ran combined annual totals of $1.9 billion in the early part of the 21st century (http://www.msgcpa.com/files/Grocery.pdf). When donating food to a local food bank companies are able to save money on those costs. The food banks often times maintain public campaigns and benefit celebrations that advertise sponsors of not only money but also goods. With the food banks doing the advertising of the company’s generosity Company Q is able to project a positive community image and save on advertising costs. When it comes to allowable deductions for charitable donations the general rule is a company is allowed a deduction with respect to a contribution to a public charity.

Camacho, 2015. 9 -6 1 5 -0 1 3 REV: AUGUST 15, 2014 RORY MCDONALD CLAYTON CHRISTENSEN ROBIN YANG TY HOLLINGSWORTH AmazonFresh: Rekindling the Online Grocery Market We believe that a fundamental measure of our success will be the shareholder value we create over the long term. . . . We will make bold rather than timid investment decisions where we see a sufficient probability of gaining market leadership advantages. Some of these investments will pay off, others will not, and we will have learned another valuable lesson in either case. — Jeff Bezos, 1997 Letter to Shareholders As Fishmonger Ryan Reese skillfully filleted a fresh rainbow trout at Seattle’s Pike Place Market one morning in late 2012, the usual mix of tourists and locals gathered to admire his prowess. The iconic downtown market’s appealing array of fresh and specialty foods drew daily crowds eager to admire its vendors' showmanship and buy their wares. But the trout wasn't for any of them. Ryan's customer was miles away on Mercer Island. Within hours AmazonFresh, the grocery subsidiary of Amazon.com, would deliver the fish, which she'd ordered online, right to her doorstep.1 AmazonFresh had spent five years testing and refining its business model since its launch in August 2007. The challenges were numerous; no other online grocer had yet succeeded on a national scale. Amazon typically allowed new businesses only a short time to achieve profitability before ...

Golden Valley has more than 30 processing plants in operations and annual sales of approximately $650 million. Much of Golden Valley’s management staff comes from their parent company with the previous president saying “The influence of our old parent company is still with us. As long as new products look like they will increase the company’s sales volume, they are introduced. Traditionally, there has been little, if any attention paid to margins. We are well aware that profits will come through good products in large volume.” (William D Perreault Jr.) Recently this company has gone through a transition with the removal of several directors and the prior president of the company. The newly elected president, Neal Middleton, is facing a severe decline in profits over recent years as well as low personnel morale. Golden Valley Foods, Inc. has major issues facing them with both a decrease in profits and low morale due to the recent departure from their parent company, removal of several directors and the introduction of a new president. By bringing over policies and influences from their parent company, Golden Valley has overlooked an opportunity to tap into some markets their parent...

...company”) They joined the internet in 1996 when they created and launched their own website, www.peapod.com, they also made the Inc. 500 list of fastest growing privately held US companies. Peapod was associated with Jewel until 1999 when it opened a facility in Niles, Illinois, and started picking orders from there. Using their own picking center helped them control inventory and product quality. (“Our company”) In 2000, Peapod became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Royal Ahold, the international food provider based in The Netherlands, and pursued exclusive relationships with Ahold USA grocers, Stop & Shop and Giant Foods. Peapod was grown slowly and wisely by leveraging partnerships with other established companies. In mid-2001, when competitors like Webvan were going out of business, Royal Ahold purchased the remaining outstanding shares of Peapod, making Peapod the leader in the online grocery space. Since Peapod joined forces with Ahold they now serve more than 355,000 customers each year. (“Our company”) Peapod operates under a centralized distribution model with two formats: warehouses and warerooms (room where goods are kept or displayed for sale). Both provide next-day delivery, but warerooms, which are dedicated areas attached to Ahold USA stores, are primarily used in new markets so as to leverage the stores’ infrastructures. Unlike Safeway and Albertson’s, who operate under an “in-store pick” model, centralized distribution allows Peapod to design...

...it is a very tough business because the profit margins are tiny, only 1 to 2 percent of sales. Moreover, the industry is very price competitive. Yet Webvan, which was founded in late 1996, chose groceries as the way to establish itself as a Web-based powerhouse. [pic]Aside from the tiny profit margin, on-line grocery sales face other problems. Most successful Web retail sales involve delivery several days after ordering via parcel delivery services such as UPS or FedEx. Yet people usually need grocery delivery right away, and the groceries usually include such spoilables as milk, ice cream, fresh vegetables, and meats. [pic]A number of companies, including Peapod, HomeGrocer.com, Kozmo.com, and Safeway have struggled to establish on-line grocery businesses. Webvan Group Inc. of Foster City, California (in the Silicon Valley), was the brainchild of Louis Borders, the cofounder of the very successful Borders bookstore chain. Webvan’s founders and management believed they could succeed where others were faltering by using a different business model. The company carried about 20,000 high-quality grocery items, including fresh fruits and vegetables, meats, and frozen foods, and delivered the orders to customers throughout a large metropolitan region. Webvan had no retail outlets, but instead it operated out of massive regional distribution centers of about 350,000 square feet each.

...Case 19: FreshDirect Is It Really Fresh?* With a bold promise on its website entry page, FreshDirect claimed, “Our food is fresh, our customers are spoiled…. Order on the web today and get next-day delivery of the best food at the best price, exactly the way you want it, with 100 percent satisfaction guaranteed.”1 However, recently many consumers have questioned the freshness of the food delivered by FreshDirect. Since online shopping does not give the chance for customers to feel and choose the products themselves, they must rely completely on FreshDirect to select the food for them. This notion has not appealed to some customers. Operating out of its production center in Long Island City, Queens, FreshDirect offers online grocery shopping and delivery service to more than 300 zip codes in Manhattan, Queens, Brooklyn, Nassau County, Riverdale, Westchester, select areas of Staten Island, New Jersey, and parts of Connecticut. FreshDirect also offers pickup service at its Long Island City facility, as well as corporate service to selected delivery zones in Manhattan and summer delivery service to the Hamptons on Long Island. When it was launched in July 2001 by Joseph Fedele and Jason Ackerman, FreshDirect pronounced to the New York area that it was “the new way to shop for food.” This was a bold statement given that the previous decade had witnessed the demise of numerous other online grocery ventures. However, the creators of FreshDirect were confident in the success...
