Title: If you opened/bought a store....
Post by: 76&AmesfanmanBBTB on May 21, 2005, 07:45:38 PM
If you had the chance to open/buy an existing store(s) what would it be the name? What would it specialize in? the strategy? and of course what would the logo look like? etc.

Heres a few ideas of my own:

If I could buy Walmart: I would completely change its image, focus on more than just low prices, work for the customers, be fair with the competition, have reasonabily sized stores, unionize:yup:, and actually express the real values PLUS allow products to be made in USA by making it cheaper to make products in the USA AND FOCUS ON TRUE QUALITY AND SERVICE

PEMDAS - The Math store: This store would be a specialty store for math supplies from grades 1-12
reason for name? PEMDAS dervives from the word created by the order of operations: Parentheses  Exponents Multiply  Divide Add Subtract
P-E-M-D-A-S = PEMDAS:yup:

JBACK's VALUE: I know weird name  but theres a reason behind this before I tell you I'm going to explain what type of store its going to be it would be a Service Merchandise and BEST type of store a REAL department store yet with affordable prices the slogan is: "Expensive Service and Quality at an affordable price" :yup:

anyway JBACKS derivives from my most favorite stores (one of them I've never shopped at is Jamesway the first letter) in order Jamesway   ]Bradlees Ames Caldor Kmart  ' Service Merchandise and Sears both have same letter so no need to repeat it


STORES WITH LOGOS WILL BE BELOW:yup:


1st version of jback store

If I had owned my own Grocery Store it would probably be called Southington Super Food Store. That is if it was located in Southington. If it was located in another town, subsitute its name for Southington.

For a depatment store maybe I'd call it Marc's. Or Bram's. Bram are the first four letters of my last name.

k-mart/sears

I would love to redo that store give it a face lift and remodel the stores. I would Merge Kmart and sears together meaning it will be in the same building it will have appliances also.



The prices wouldn't be too high for the products at least similar to wal-mart prices. And i will try to get a famous Restaurant inside the store too like quiznos or something
And i would also have a K-mart mini mart it would be a small store similar to wawa or 7-11

We will have Orange and/or red  Shopping carts with a quarter thing
Our Associates will wear Orange and black or beige pants
And Our stores will be in areas with out any other grocery stores. I don't understand why stores want to be so close together

If i opened/bought a store.... i would buy Sears Holdings, i would sell small unprofitable stores and i would do something better with Kmart (even if it's creating another Sears brand again).  

It would be Sears Whole Home, a large store with everything for the home without clothing, shoes, toys, food and other stuff that Target and Wal-Mart are a lot better at selling.  I would transform every large Kmart into this concept with a real remodel, significant improvements, a whole new look, not just a cheap paint job!

Below you can see how your traditional Big K-mart store would become a Sears Whole Home, a fresh, attractive new look:

I would open a pharmacy called Super Rx Market, which has a thing called Super Rx Market Superbuys (which are similar to Phar-Mor's "Power Buys") which maximizes the buying power of our customers.

"Super Rx Market Superbuys help you save money, giving you the best bang for your buck, because our company never fails in getting the best deals!"
