More in the Free Press, http://www.freep.com/article/2 0081101/BUSINESS06/811010317 25 Detroit grocers joined the Guaranteed Fresh Detroit Independent Grocers Initiative than will launch next week. The initiative is a guarantee to sale quality food/ shopping environment in Detroit. Facts, Detroiters spend nearly $1 billion on groceries. 1/5 of that money or 200 million goes outside the city limits. Detroit can support between 600,000 and 1 million square feet of retail grocery store space. That equals to more than 12 47,500 square feet supermarkets. 50% of Detroiters lives in a food desert. Guaranteed Fresh initiatives markets makes up 1/4 of the markets in Detroit. This is a great thing that Detroit grocers are doing. | ||

That article should include a list of the 25 stores and their locations. You know, in case people want to actually patronize them. | ||

You know what would really polish up certain grocer's images? Paying their contractors. I'm just sayin...might help. (Message edited by higgs1634 on November 10, 2008) | ||

Tommy Boy probably offers the best words of wisdom here: Why would somebody put a guarantee on a box? Because they know all they sold ya was a guaranteed piece of shit. That's all it is, isn't it? Hey, if you want me to take a dump in a box and mark it guaranteed, I will. I got spare time. |
