I chose Walgreens, Kroger, and Walmart for my grocery stores visits. There are obvious differences in each store. The major different in each store are the pricing and the layout of each store. The marketing strategies for each grocery store are similar but not exactly alike. Walmart is a superstore the store offers everything from a wide arrangement of items the household, garden, auto, electronics and beauty.

In the 2000’s Tyson’s Foods acquire IBP, Inc. and with that, they became the largest distributor of chicken, meat, and pork in the world. According to Tyson’s believes that “At Tyson Foods, we maintain a strong connection with our past.

I agree with taking advantage of second- degree price discrimination. I also enjoy the bogo deals at Publix and it is the only grocery store I shop at because of it. When being able to stack coupons on top of these buy one get one free deals you are able to get two items for less than the price of one item.

This option allows the grocery chain to focus on important determinants of store choice: Grocery and Produce. This option will increase Hi-Value’s competitiveness in the market, especially against chains that are less convenient and more expensive. Customer price perception is category specific so it will be a high impact. Management believes a price war with competitors is unwise and that it is not a viable option to engage in deep discounting across the board like Harrison’s, Grand American, and Missouri Mart. I think it is crucial to reassess pricing strategy on a quarterly basis per store to determine effectiveness.

I strongly believe you get what you pay for. Walmart lures customers by lowering (roll back) prices. However, they lack quality service. The checkout lines are always long, they are constantly out of stock and they provide poor customer service. On the other hand, Publix prices are slightly

Publix is a grocery store that I am familiar with in Huntsville. Publix stands out from its competitors like Kroger, Piggy Wiggly, Wal-Mart, and Whole Food Market for many reasons. For starters, Publix has a unique rewards program. For example, the Publix baby club and Publix Paw are free to join and include monthly savings and expert tips on baby and pet items. Publix also has two for one coupon which in contrast most of their competitors do not have available.

Implementing these systems enabled Walmart achieving significant cost advantage as they had eliminated wholesalers which saved them 5% sales
