Got A Queition About Supemutrkets, Buying Groceriet, Etc?
Write to P.O. Box 1330 Salubury, N.C., 28144.
We Tell It Straight.
Q. Are super markets making more profit today? B.S.
A. Profits are at a record low. The latest published figures show that net profit
after taxes is less than a penny on the dollar of sales. The exact figure is 0.86
per cent of sales. That means that on a $30 food order the typical super market
keeps 2$ cents as net profit.
Q. If super markets aren’t making more profits, how can they afford to build big
new stores? T.M.
A. Super markets must build stores to survive. Because their profits are low,
they must sell more merchandise to more people, more efficiently. Larger
stores with more merchandise make this possible.
Q. What is meant by the term “loss leader”?
A. A loss leader is something sold below cost. For example. If three-pound
Crlsco costs $1.58 and sold for $1.49, this would be referred to as a “loss
leader.”
Q. Why do some stores sell bulk produce and others don’t?
A. This is a decision made by top management of each company. Food Town
knows that from a sanitation sUndpolnt, it is in the customers’ best interest to
buy self-service produce.
Q. Why does Food Town use parcel pickup service?
A. Food Town’s experience has proven that the cost of loading your groceries by
use of parcel pickup is much less than the “roli-out” system used by many
others. This savings is passed on to Food Town customers in lower prices.
Q. Why do supermarkets put merchandise up so high so that you can’t see the
item or the price?
A. Limited space requires maximum use of space. Most supermarkets do not
want their merchandise to be stocked too high.
Food Town is now back to regular shopping hours for your convenience - 8 a.m. to
9 p.m. Monday thru Saturday
