Someone just told me that round is the perfect design for a grocery store. I don’t know that I believe this, but that is neither here nor there at the moment. They said there’s an existing round grocery story, but don’t know its location. With all the places represented by people here, I’m hoping that someone knows of such a place. Round…not necessarily dome.
Thanks.

No, but on the subject, I have a firm belief that everything in a grocery should be in alphabetical order. OK, you may break it up into three categories first, Shelf Stuff, Refridgerated, and Frozen. Then alphabetize everything within that category. Maybe then the wife would send me shopping more than once every five years.
On second thought, nebermind!
B, C, M, T....beer, chocolate, meat, toilet paper.....there's a rest of the alphabet?

Not sure if their stores are actually round, though.
I hate going to IKEA....they take you in circles to get from one thing to another.
Everytime I go there I get a headache.
Bad Feung Seiu (sp?).
Domes OK, but being "led" by isle's in circles I'd hate....might just be my conditioning, who knows.

Not sure that's the way they do it....maybe, maybe not. Round shelving would be less available. Round freezer cases more expensive. Maybe there's another reason it's effective (or at least...I was told it's effective).
Its obvious why they do it at IKEA....they force you to pass items they want you to see to get to where ever you're going.
I sort of think if they do it in supermarkets it wouldnt be everything curved. Just narrower shelves and more of them.
Funny thing about going to IKEA...I never thought it'd effect me that way....the few times I went there, I walked out with a headache. The way we regard death is critical to the way we experiance life.

Grocery stores, too. Put myself partly through college working in one, and I know they study the logistics obsessively. Generally, necessities are in the rear--milk. Impulsive items--candy--near register. Eye-catching stuff at eye level. All product placement is not just a happy accident. It's a whole sub-industry studying how to get you to part with more of your money!
not to change the subject but if you get some serious wheather there in a few hours take some pictures out yer round windowTrue compassion arises out of the plane of consciousness where I "am" you.

We're probably too far inland to get more than a few leaves blowing around. Our airport is where the National Guard and NOAA brought their planes to get them OUT of harm's way. But the guys over in Raleigh-area (Bucksnort, GDCarpenter, et al) will likely see some hefty winds.
Well the round grocery store in my area just closed, so I guess the shape didn't help them withstand the onslaught of Albertsons, Smiths and Super-WalMart. This one just happened to be a dome.
Yeah, Amy, they can take on hurricanes and tornados, but nothing stands in the way of Sam Walton!
The cans are round. the cheese comes in rounds. Sausage is round. Wine bottles are round. Works for me.
If anyone would know, they're probably at St. Joe's (University). Here's the link to their Food Marketing department. (Bonus trivia: It's the only college in the world to offer a MS of Food Marketing.)
