Big-box store - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia In recent years, many traditional retailers such as Tesco and Praktiker have opened stores in the format in an effort to compete with big box chains, which are expanding internationally as their home markets reach maturity. Big-box store is a colloquial term used to describe a style of retail store, and by extension to the company behind the store. Generally, big-box stores can be broken down into two categories: general merchandisers, such as Wal-Mart and Target, and so-called category killers, such as Home Depot or Best Buy which specialise in goods within a specific range, such as hardware or electronics. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Big_box_store   (411 words)

Cox Crow The big-box retailer may be economically optimal under the current circumstances, but circumstances shift. Ultimately, the only innovation possible in retail is minimization of that overhead, which Wal-Mart has nearly perfected. K-Mart, neither a friend of the local retailer or of domestic manufacturing, loses sales to Wal-Mart for the simple reason that Wal-Mart is better. www.coxesroost.net /journal/2004/06/02.html   (411 words)

The big box theory "SQL is the toughest one because you have to look at which databases can really be together in one particular box." Already, Jones knows he'll need to maintain several separate servers for particular instances of SQL Server that need to be stand-alone. Jones achieved those goals by implementing the Unisys box running Windows Server 2003 DataCenter Edition. So even though the cost of a 32-processor ES7000 server from Unisys was not exactly inexpensive, Jones knew it would consume fewer internal resources and also provide flexibility he couldn't get on his stand-alone Windows systems. www.nwfusion.com /research/2004/0405makeover4.html   (411 words)

Vermont Journal of Environmental Law Big box retail is sometimes generically used to include so-called "category killers"—and what an apt name that is—that are genetically disposed to completely dominate their category of sales within the market. Yet much of the opposition to big box retail and the efforts to keep them out of our cities and towns through plan amendments and zoning strategies are based on the idea that some of these retailers, some of the time, treat their workers poorly. Getting big box retail in the right place is frustrated and often precluded by weak or nonexistent systems of state planning and regulation, a lack of adequate substate regional planning and governance, and the reality that many local jurisdictions are virtually unplanned and unregulated. www.vjel.org /articles/articles/Merriam11FIN.htm   (9000 words)

big box retail Labor unions are becoming opposed to big box development due to the fact that the employees of such developments are usually not uionized. In order to find a compromise, some cities are now trying to impose design guidelines on big box development and to better incorporate the big box stores into their communities by, for example, making them more pedestrian-friendly. The reliance on the automobile to get to these stores also promotes an anti-community feelings--people are less likely to interact with each other in big box setting than they are in pedestrian-oriented environments. www.columbia.edu /itc/architecture/bass/newrochelle/extra/big_box.html   (1525 words)

Growth Management: Big Box Big box retail developments offer consumers choices and convenience, and in most cases, reduce the distance consumers must travel to shop. The current and future needs of a community are major factors in the decision making process, and the overall and long-term success of big box establishments will depend largely on the community’s planning and development activities. Rather than putting small, locally owned stores out of business, big box retail developments frequently support many small businesses by providing them with low-cost supplies and services. www.growthmanagement-icsc.org /bigbox   (1525 words)

Big Box Store Question Some don't like the regimen of a Big Box, some didn't know sales was that difficult, some move on or move up but most just loose whatever interest they might have originally had for the equipment and job. A good salesperson can make more money at a Big Box simply due to the volume of people available as customers. Most high end stores are looking for someone with at least a minimum idea of how stereos and systems work and possibly a little sales knowledge. forum.ecoustics.com /bbs/messages/1/68679.html   (904 words)

ABQjournal: Big-Box Store May Hit Town It appears to be an opportune time for a big-box store to move in, Mahalick said, noting that if the store has to come in, it might as well be before the reconstruction to avoid having to completely redo the road. Mahalick said official reports of a big-box store moving into the area were unveiled at a recent public meeting hosted by the New Mexico Department of Transportation to discuss proposed plans for the reconstruction of N.M. 344 north to Dinkle Road. "A big-box store is going to have a high traffic impact on the area, so the department has to now refigure its numbers in the traffic analysis," she said. www.mvtelegraph.com /mountain/371802mtnview07-14-05.htm   (560 words)

Oakland City Council approves ban on ``big-box'' grocery stores Big box didn't kill downtown, the growth of the suburbs did. A big box retailer can be compared to automation in industry: it brings increased productivity and lower prices to customers. If you ban big box retailers, they'll just set up shop outside the city limits and force you to annex them to provide services or they'll draw resources from your economy while not contributing as much to the tax base. 209.157.64.200 /focus/f-news/1005954/posts   (4237 words)

TMP Collection: Big Box Retail inthe New Economy Big box is also characterized in site design by a stand-alone building within a sea of parking, large storm water drainage ponds, tall light standards and high-intensity lighting. In the end, big box is not designed to create mutually-beneficial partnerships between retailers and community citizens, much in the way traditional town and centers once did, but between local customers and corporate sellers. In form, “big box” refers to a warehouse building, simple and rectangular in construction, quite often of corrugated metal, concrete block and/or brick-faced walls. www.charrettecenter.com /charrettecenter.asp?a=spf&pfk=7&gk=125&plk=580   (597 words)

Gotham Gazette: Big-Boxed In on the Waterfront Just as the waterfront is coming into focus for many people, the vision of a Big Box store on the bank of Erie Basin in Red Hook, Brooklyn is evoking grave concern in one of New York's last maritime communities. Big Boxes started springing up nearly 30 years ago, with the opening of a new Macy's at the King's Plaza Shopping Center. At issue in this now decades-old struggle is the fact that Big Boxes are not only anti-Mom-and-Pop, but that the sheer scale of these stores are wholly anti-urban. www.gothamgazette.com /print/293   (715 words)

Locals try to contain 'big box' stores - The Washington Times: Business - August 09, 2004 The zoning change would cap big box stores at 125,000 square feet in the county seat of Prince Frederick and 90,000 square feet in the county's smaller town centers. Worried about the effects of two behemoth stores on the rural flavor of the county, the county's planning commission has recommended the Board of Commissioners place size caps on Wal-Mart and other so-called "big box" stores. But Calvert and Montgomery counties are drawing the line on how big those stores can be, fearing an influx of traffic, damage to existing businesses and threats to the characters of their communities. www.washtimes.com /business/20040808-110053-3111r.htm   (941 words)

washingtonpost.com: My Big Fat Big-Box Store To be sure, chain stores had been getting bigger across the board and everyone's sales seemed to be taking off, so it probably wasn't a big leap for Tandy executives: If we build the biggest store, I'm sure they thought, we'll have the most sales. That is an extreme example, but it shows how enticing big stores are to retailers. "They don't care as long as the sales per square foot in big stores keep growing," said Mona Doyle, editor of the Shopper Report, a market research publication for the supermarket industry. www.washingtonpost.com /ac2/wp-dyn/A34042-2003May24?language=printer   (1026 words)

Flagstaff divided on big-box store Becky Daggett, executive director of the anti-big-box Friends of Flagstaff's Future group, said the city ordinance on store sizes was an outgrowth of a regional plan, which passed with two-thirds of the vote in favor, in 2000. The backdrop to all this is Tuesday's referendum on whether big-box stores can be more than 125,000 square feet with only 8 percent of each store being allowed for groceries. But the poll of 467 city residents also noted that 10 percent of voters are undecided and many of those are thought to be poorer residents on the city's east side who would welcome a new and larger Wal-Mart in their area. www.azcentral.com /arizonarepublic/local/articles/0515bigbox15.html   (1008 words)

United Press International - Americas(p) - Analysis: Shoppers pay big box store costs Bigger stores mean fewer stores of each type, and that means longer drives, with larger parking lots and longer aisles to trudge through. Just about every task shoppers can do, stores can do cheaper: selecting the best brands, transporting and storing goods, manhandling big crates, avoiding spoilage, and borrowing money cheaply to finance the inventory investment. For example, large stores that stock a huge diversity of brands put the responsibility for choosing wisely on the consumer, who is seldom an expert on the merits of offerings in more than a few categories. www.upi.com /view.cfm?StoryID=20040123-074924-8200r   (1135 words)
