lettuce and tomato slices under fluorescent lights and sneeze guards. The salad bar I visited was located within a Whole Foods, once of the most expensive grocery stores in the area. It is a popular place for lunchtime dining and many busy professionals who work in offices nearby as well as students, parents with small children, and simply people doing their grocery shopping looking to grab a quick meal, can be seen patronizing the restaurant area.

also in the grocery-delivering business. With the online giant’s recent purchase of Whole Foods, the go-to place for online shopping just expanded into the grocery store industry as well.

Elementary School and community partners/donors like Whole Foods, Trader Joes, Fred Myers, Feed the Mass, Nike, Adidas, and Kaiser Permanente. Bangen (2018) states that even though establishing partnerships between for-profit and non-profits can be time consuming and stressful, it is very beneficial for the business/organization and the community. Since this non-profit organization will primarily focus on initiating a nutrition and fitness program at the school as well as depend on donations from the various community partners, creating partnerships with the school and these companies is the first step toward the implementation process.

the target market is older, wealthy, educated females, is Wal-Mart going to get the job done? Or should they distribute to Whole Foods? Is Costco-sized packaging consistent with the image the brand is trying to build? Does this market respond well to seasonal chocolate? The answer to these sorts of questions lies in positioning and segmentation decisions.
