It’s worth reading his entire post to understand the nuances of the shortcomings of the explanation, the theory of location competition, and where to place a hot dog stand on the beach. However, for those short on time, here’s my simplified explanation: If a gas station (or any retailer) was a monopoly, they could locate wherever they wanted and force consumers to come to them. However, the threat of competition forces stores to try to determine a location that captures maximum market share. In other words, they want to be in central location for their target audience, minimizing the distance consumers have to travel. Of course, all competing retailers are simultaneously making the same decision which means the resulting stores end up clustered together.

Although the economic recession, parents like to paid a premium, for kid-focused entertainment. Other suggestions 1.
When guys in camouflage pants and hunting hats sat around in the Four Aces Diner talking about fearsome things done out-of-doors, I would no longer have to feel like such a cupcake. I wanted a little of that swagger that comes with being able to gaze at a far horizon through eyes of chipped granite and say with a slow, manly sniff, "Yeah, I've shit in the woods"(Bryson 4). Bryson, Bill. A Walk in the Woods. New York: Broadway Books, 1998.
If the blame is to be pointed at someone it would have to be the consumer. One reason is that people are not forced to eat these foods. They do not point a gun to our head and demand we eat a half pound burger, a bucket of fries, and a big soda enough to last a whole day. They know it is bad just do not want to make their own food, so they blame companies. Another reason is we have a choice on what we eat on a daily bases.
People say that it is Mcdonalds fault for them gaining weight, but what they don’t understand is that they have the choice wether they should eat it or not, or even how much they eat. They have control over wether they should go and pick out a nice healthy salad or go to a fast food restaurant such as Mcdonalds and get fatty food there that is super-sized, and get french fries that are all salty. So I say it is not Mcdonalds fault for people becoming obese and overweight all over the country! it is their own fault that they are gaining this much weight in such little time. Mcdonalds is a very popular restaurant where they advertise food all over the place on billboards in stores, on the
Blaming Fast Food Restaurants for Obesity Let’s face it; everyone loves a Whopper every now and then. Yet we are all aware that one too many can bring on dangerous and life-threatening results. Obesity is a growing problem in the United States and more and more children are being affected. But do uneducated families have the right to put the blame on fast food restaurants for their health issues they could have easily prevented? I believe that we are taking it too far by blaming fast food restaurants for obesity and that it is an individual’s responsibility to take the blame.
The majors concerns of marketing are usually referred to as the "four Ps" or the "marketing mix": product, price, place, and promotion. 2. I choose the new barbecue sauce name to be “Spicy Blend” because, in the Executive Summary, 53% of reacted favorably when “Spicy Blend” was the subbrand name and 49% reacted favorably when “Chicago style” was the subbrand name. Although approximately 45% indicated they would likely to purchase the new barbecue sauce when “Chicago style” was the subbrand name, the company needs actual consumers who are going to buy their new product. The company does not have to think too much about those who
Managing earnings (or “cooking the books”), is simply a way of making things look better than they actually are to keep stockholders happy, entice new investors, meet budget, and most importantly, earn executives bonuses. Not all book cooking is motivated by greed. By making revenues appear larger than they actually are, a struggling company could stay afloat with investor’s money until it can turn a true profit. Here is a great example. Imagine you’re a kid with a lemonade stand and you want to build a roof over it so that you and your customers aren’t in the hot sun.
Summary Windham, one of 50 Hamburger Haven franchises owned by Patterson-Erie, was not performing as well as the company had hoped. Cameron McCormick wanted to evaluate the situation thoroughly before meeting with the chief executive officer(CEO) of the company, William Patterson. The fast food industry, or the “quick service industry,” capitalized on the customer’s preference for a fast, inexpensive and tasty meal. The industry had experienced extreme growth. The fast food industry was extremely seasonal with peak sales occurring in the summer months.
It is completely different than need. Cooking well could be the love a street cart vendor has for his tamale recipe brought from his native country. The love someone has for their family and friends to make the humblest of food into fuel from the heart or an elaborate celebratory feast. The hot, steaming bowl of homemade chicken soup or the elaborate Thanksgiving dinner with more food than anyone should ever consume in a day yet alone one sitting. The passion that comes from the ability of taking what food you have and turning it into something magnificent is cooking well.
