Passage 1: The Innovation of Grocery Stores
A
At the beginning of the 20th century, grocery stores In (he United States
were full-service, A customer would ask a clerk behind the counter for
specific items and the clerk would package the items, which were limited to
dry foods. If they want to save some time, they have to ask a delivery boy or
by themselves to send the note of what they want to buy to the grocery story
first and then go to pay for the goods later. These grocery stores usually
carried only one brand of each good. There were early chain stores, such as
the A&P Stores, but these were all entirely full-service and very
time-consuming.
B
In 1885, a Virginia boy named Clarence Saunders began working part-time as a
clerk in a grocery store when he was 14 years old, and quit school when the
shopkeeper offered him full time work with room and board. Later he worked in
an Alabama coke plant and in a Tennessee sawmill before he returned to the
grocery business. By 1900, when he was nineteen years old, he was earning $30
a month as a salesman for a wholesale grocer. During his years working in the
grocery stores, he found that it was very inconvenient and inefficient for
people to buy things because more than a century ago, long before there were
computers, shopping was done quite differently than it is today. Entering a
store, the customer would approach the counter (or wait for a clerk to become
available) and place an order, cither verbally or, as was often the case for
boys running errands, in the form of a note or list. While the customer
waited, the clerk would move behind the counter and throughout the store,
select the items on the list-some form shelves so high that long-handled
grasping device had to be used—and bring them back to the counter to be
tallied and bagged or boxed. The process might be expedited by the customer
calling or sending in the order beforehand, or by the order being handled by
a delivery boy on a bike, but otherwise it did not vary greatly. Saunders, a
flamboyant and innovative man, noticed that this method resulted in wasted
time and expense, so he came up with an unheard-of solution that would
revolutionize the entire grocery industry: he developed a way for shoppers to
serve themselves.
C
So in 1902 he moved to Memphis where he developed his concept to form a
grocery wholesale cooperative and a full-service grocery store. For his new ’
’cafe ten a grocery’', Saunders divided his grocery into three distinct
areas: 1) A front “lobby’* forming an entrance and exit and checkouts at
the front. 2) A sales department, which was specially designed to allow
customers to roam the aisles and select their own groceries. Removing
unnecessary clerks, creating elaborate aisle displays, and rearranging the
store to force customers to view all of the merchandise and over the shelving
and cabinets units of sales department were “galleries” where supervisors
were allowed to keep an eye on the customers while not disturbing them. 3)
And another section of his store is the room only allowed for the clerks
which was called the “stockroom” or “storage room” where large
refrigerators were situated to keep fresh products from being perishable. The
new format allowed multiple customers to shop at the same time, and led to
the previously unknown phenomenon of impulse shopping. Though this format of
grocery market was drastically different from its competitors, the style
became the standard for the modern grocery store and later supermarket.
D
On September 6, 1916, Saunders launched the self-service revolution in the
USA by opening the first self-service Piggly Wiggly store, at 79 Jefferson
Street n Memphis, Tennessee, with its characteristic turnstile at the
entrance. Customers paid cash and selected their own goods from the shelves.
It was unlike any other grocery store of that time. Inside a Piggly Wiggly,
shoppers were not at the mercy of shop clerks. They were free to roam the
store, check out the merchandise and get what they needed with their own two
hands and feet. Prices on items at Piggly Wiggly were clearly marked. No one
pressured customers to buy milk or pickles. And the biggest benefit at the
Piggly Wiggly was that shoppers saved money. Self-service was a positive all
around. "It's good for both the consumer and retailer because it cuts costs,"
noted George T. Haley, a professor at the University of New Haven and
director of the Center for International Industry Competitiveness. "If you
looked at the way grocery stores were run previous to Piggly Wiggly and Alpha
Beta, what you find is that there was a tremendous amount of labor involved,
and labor is a major expense." Piggly Wiggly cut the fat.
E
Piggly Wiggly and the self-service concept took off. Saunders opened nine
stores in the Memphis area within the first year of business. Consumers
embraced the efficiency, the simplicity and most of all the lower food
prices. Saunders soon patented his self-service concept, and began
franchising Piggly Wiggly stores. Thanks to the benefits of self-service and
franchising, Piggly Wiggly ballooned to nearly U00 stores by 1923. Piggly
Wiggly sold $100 million — worth $I.3 billion today — in groceries, making
it the third-biggest grocery retailer in the nation. The company's stock was
even listed on the New York Stock Exchange, doubling from late 1922 to March
1923, Saunders had his hands all over Piggly Wiggly. He was instrumental in the
design and layout of his stores. He even invented the turnstile.
F
However Saunders was forced into bankruptcy in 1923 after a dramatic spat
with the New York Stock Exchange and he went on to create the "Clarence
Saunders sole-owner-of-my-name" chain, which went into bankruptcy.
G
Until the time of his death in October 1953, Saunders was developing plans
for another automatic store system called the Foodelectric. But the store,
which was to be located two blocks from the first Piggly Wiggly store, never
opened. But his name was well-remembered along with the name Piggly Wiggly.
