Costco vs. LoblawsIn this paper, I shall be providing my personal observations between shopping in a traditional retail store, Loblaws, versus that of a box store, Costco/Club Price. During the last ten years, the overall nature of retailing has changed significantly. There are now an increased number of mass merchandisers such as Costco, who are changing the outlook of retailing at the expense of traditional grocery stores such as Loblaws. There are a number of reasons why a consumer would choose a specific retail store over the wide selection of competitors out there on the market, those being; inventory, selection, variety, quality, pricing strategy, in store merchandising, promotions

As decline in coordination costs followed by e-commence, multi-channel retailing has been developed.A good example of Multi-channel Retailing strategy adaptation is Evesham.com, a PC manufacturer and retailer.

In June 2001, Tesco bought a 35% market share in GroceryWorks (a North American based on-line retailer that is majority owned by Safeway) which was making serious losses.

This strategy is a success with even lower operating costs than in England due to less congestion on the roads and lower fuel costs for the delivery vans.

This is a field of chemistry called polymer mechanochemistry.
