Think of current trends in the food/retail industry (quality of food or product, convenience, health, variety, ethnicity, $ spent) and determine whether and to what extent they are present in the store. Describe the branding concepts of both private brands and national brands that are present, define and describe the product line and mix, pricing (perceived value) and their pricing strategy, all promotional activities on site and all other advertising/promotional activity (TV, radio, print media, store website and social media).

This format refers to “dividing the content” into sections to make it easier for the reader to look/read for information that they are looking for. A short introduction followed by separate paragraphs (use roman numerals, letters, numbers to identify each new section) for the written content. Paragraphs with bullets are acceptable.Case #2
