Incremental Food And Beverage Serving Leaders For 2007
Analysis of: Restaurant Food Trends For 2008 | www.quazen.com
Author: Terrell Alger, Retail & Restaurant Consultant, Terry Alger Consultancy
As consumer eating habits change, restaurants need to be prepared to change courses very quickly to survive. So called mini-burgers ( sliders ) seem to tell us that snack foods are more popular than ever. One stop shopping has elevated Walmart as the king of retail and I think grocery stores are looking...

Starbucks Returns To Their Roots
Analysis of: Starbucks CEO Says We Are "Returning To Our Roots" | www.bizjournals.com
Author: Terrell Alger, Retail & Restaurant Consultant, Terry Alger Consultancy
With Shultz's return to the top, the direction seems to be straight ahead with returning to their roots. "FREEBIES" never hurt anyone and I like the new ideas of the company. New Espresso machines being added to the stores gives the impression of new confidence for this huge investment. Will more aroma...

The Falling Dollar Ain't All That Bad!
Analysis of: Dollar's Swift Decline Threatens Europe, Japan | online.wsj.com
Author: GLG Expert Contributor
 President Bush, apparently, is going to let the dollar drop like a stone. This is not going to make us any friends overseas; even Mexico and Canada are getting a little nervous. In fact this is driving the European Union, China and OPEC nuts. OPEC will take the blame for higher gas prices when...

Best Buy Is The Dominant Player
Analysis of: Best Buy cuts '08 EPS outlook, shares fall | www.retailingtoday.com
Author: Terrell Alger, Retail & Restaurant Consultant, Terry Alger Consultancy
I agree totally with Jeff's assessment and it is right on target.  With Circuit City not knowing which direction to go in, it clearly puts Best Buy as the industry leader in consumer electronics. Walmart should gain market share as they fine tune their stores. Wholesalers will compete with...

Author: Terrell Alger, Retail & Restaurant Consultant, Terry Alger Consultancy
Their stores don't measure up to their competitiors as far as looks or staffing. They don't market their brand very well. They struggle with their brand merchandise both in the store and with most of their advertising.
