North America, 1980
North America Council, 1980: The Coca-Cola Retailing Research Councils probed the influence of a number of factors on food retailing in the 1980s to provide insight and data on how selected social, human and economic trends will impact various types of retail food outlets in the future. Study conclusions seem to indicate that superstores, combination stores and conventional supermarkets are best positioned to take advantage of the trends anticipated for this decade. Also favored – but much less so – are complete home-delivery operations and specialty stores.
