community is in need of a shopping center with chain stores. This idea would be a sufficient solution to our community’s needs and wants. Chain stores can provide the general public with a numerous amount of goods, ranging from clothing, retail jobs, and supplies. In the article “In Praise of Chain Stores” author Postrel, argues in favor of chain stores throughout America, he clearly states chain stores “increase local variety, even as they reduce the differences from place to place” (50). Chain stores provide extra experience for people who prefer to stay put in one location, in addition; every town deserves a chance at popular stores as much as the next major city does. Postrel says “Chains do more than…
Introduction The following situational analysis is on chain retail discount department stores, Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. and two of its leading competitors: Target Brands, Inc. and H-E-B. Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. was founded by Sam Walton and first opened its doors in the city of Rogers, Arkansas in 1962 (Wal-Mart, 2015). At the same time in Roseville, Minnesota was the opening of Target Discount Store and Supermarket (Target, 2015). In the early 1900’s 1905, to be exact was the opening of C.C. Butt…
In order for a valid contract to exist between Sam and the chain store there needs to be elements that back up the proof. A contract consists of four different elements: agreement, consideration, contractual capacity, and a legal object. The agreement “consists of an offer b one party, called the offeror, to enter into a contract and an acceptance of the terms offer by the other party, called the offeree.” (Kubasek, 2012, p.304) The agreement could be done as a verbal agreement or even a…
Introduction The main purpose of carrying out this research is, therefore, to analyse whether there is enough potential for Chipotle to penetrate the entire Melbourne markets with its fast food chain services. The possibility of expanding to different major cities in the form of opening up of its branches would be analysed in detail in this research. This particular research to examine the success factor of Chipotle in Australian markets is highly justified because the fast food retail industry…
The pressure comes as consumer tastes are changing. Instead of wandering through stores and making impulse purchases, shoppers use their mobile phones and computers to research prices and cherry-pick promotions, sticking to shopping lists rather than splurging on unneeded items. Even discount retailers are finding it harder to boost sales by lowering prices as many low-income consumers struggle to afford the basics regardless of the price. This is an on-going problem and it has currently…
Recently the fast-food industry has been under the microscope of the public because their workers have started a debate on whether or not to raise the minimum wage to $15 and the impact of their food has on their consumers. In addition, to the quality of the food, they severed, the government has set forward regulations that required chain restaurants to display nutrition labeling. The media consistent coverage of the obesity pandemic in the United States and the rising cost of health care…

restaurants want guests to come back to their restaurant and spread the word about how the service at that particular restaurant was unlike any other. Another trend that compelled me was how the Capital Ale House designed a rewards program that was specifically for the hotels in the Richmond area. With this rewards program, hotels will be on the restaurants side as well because they will see a direct benefit from recommending the Capital Ale House. Do you have those favorite restaurants that…
As the paralegal reviewing the case, the elements of a contract must first be reviewed to establish if there is a valid contract between Sam and the chain store. As described in the textbook, “Contracts are a promise or set of promises for the breach of which the law gives a remedy or performance of which the law in some way recognizes a duty” (Kubasek, pg. 305, 2009). Valid contracts exist if four elements including the agreement, consideration, legal object, and contractual capacity are met…
was littered with boxes. The room had an awful scent of cigarette smoke, alcohol, and rotten food. As I took in my surroundings, I noticed a chain which connected to the bed. To my horror, I discovered that the chain was also connected to my ankle. I quickly attempted to pry the chain off of my ankle, but quickly stopped when I heard a man’s voice tell me it wouldn 't work. That was when I realized a strange but yet familiar man was sitting across from me holding a knife and smoking a…
