4、,grocery stores in the United States were full-service.A customer would ask a clerk behind the counter for specific itemand the clerk would package the items, which werelimited to dry goods. If they want to save some time, they have to ask adelivery boy or by themselves to send the note of what they

5、 want to buy to the grocery story first and then goto pay for the goods later. Thesegrocery stores usually carried only one brand of each good. There were earlychain stores, such as the A&P Stores, but these were all entirelyfull-service and very time-consuming.B In 1885, a Virginia boy named Claren

6、ce Saunders began working part-time as aclerk in a grocery store when he was 14 years old, and quit school when theshopkeeper offered him Ml time work with room and board. Later he worked in anAlabama coke plant and in a Tennessee sawmill before he returned to the grocerybusiness. By 1900, when he w

7、as nineteen years old, he was earning $30 a monthas a salesman for a wholesale grocer. During his years working in the grocery stores, he found that it was very inconvenient and inefficient forpeople to buy things because more than a century ago, long before there werecomputers, shopping was done qu

8、ite differently than it is today. Entering astore, the customer would approach the counter (or wait for a clerk to becomeavailable) and place an order, either verbally or, as was often the case forboys running errands, in the form of a note or list. While the customer waited,the clerk would move beh

9、ind the counter and throughout the store, select theitemson the listsome form shelves so high that long-handledgrasping devicehad to be usedand bring them back to the counter to be tallied and baggedor boxed. The process might beexpedited by the customer calling or sendingin the order beforehand, or

10、 by the order being handled by a delivery boy on abike, but otherwise it did not vary greatly. Saunders, a flamboyant andinnovative man, noticed that this method resulted in wasted time and expense,so he came up with an unheard-of solution that would revolutionize the entiregrocery industry: he deve

11、loped a way for shoppers to serve themselves.C So in 1902 he moved to Memphis where he developed his concept to form agrocery wholesale cooperative and a full-service grocery store. For his new“cafeteria grocery”, Saunders divided his grocery into three distinct areas:1) A front “lobby” forming an e

12、ntrance and exit and checkouts at the front.2) A sales department, which was specially designed to allow customers to roamthe aisles and select their own groceries. Removing unnecessary clerks,creating elaborate aisle displays, and rearranging the store to force customersto view all of the merchandi

13、se and over the shelving and cabinets units ofsales department were “galleries” where supervisors were allowed to keep an eyeon the customers while not disturbing them. 3) And another section of his storeis the room only allowed for the clerks which was called the “stockroom” or“storage room” where

14、large refrigerators were situated to keep fresh productsfrom being perishable. The new format allowed multiple customers to shop at thesame time, and led to the previously unknown phenomenon of impulse shopping.Though this format of grocery market was drastically different from itscompetitors, the s

15、tyle became the standard for the modern grocery store andlater supermarket.D On September 6, 1916,Saunders launched the self-service revolution in theUSA by opening the first self-servicePiggly Wiggly store, at 79 Jefferson Street in Memphis,Tennessee, with its characteristic turnstile at the entran

16、ce. Customers paidcash and selected their own goods from the shelves. It was unlike any othergrocery store of that time. Inside a Piggly Wiggly, shoppers were not at themercy of shop clerks. They were free to roam the store, check out themerchandise and get what they needed with their own two hands

17、and feet. Priceson items at Piggly Wiggly were clearly marked. No one pressured customers tobuy milk or pickles. Andthe biggest benefit atthe Piggly Wiggly wasthat shoppers saved money. Self-service was a positive all around. “Its goodfor both the consumer and retailer because it cuts costs,” noted

18、George T.Haley, a professor at the University of New Haven and director of the Centerfor International Industry Competitiveness. “If you looked at the way grocerystores were run previous to Piggly Wiggly and Alpha Beta, what you find is thatthere was atremendous amount of labor involved,and labor is

19、 a major expense.” Piggly Wiggly cut the fat.E Piggly Wiggly and the self-service concept took off. Saunders opened ninestores in the Memphis area within the first year of business. Consumersembraced the efficiency, the simplicity and most of all the lower food prices.Saunders soonpatented his self-

20、service concept, and began franchising Piggly Wigglystores. Thanks to the benefits of self-service and franchising, PigglyWigglyballooned to nearly 1,300 stores by 1923. Piggly Wiggly sold $100millionworth $1.3 billion todayin groceries, making it the third-biggest grocery retailer in thenation. The

21、 companys stock was even listed on the New York Stock Exchange,doubling from late 1922 to March 1923. Saunders had his hands all over PigglyWiggly. He was instrumental in the design and layout of his stores. He eveninvented the turnstile.F However Saunders was forced into bankruptcy in 1923 after a

22、dramatic spatwith the New York Stock Exchange and he went on to create the “ClarenceSaunders sole-owner-of-my-name” chain, which went into bankruptcy.G Until the time of his death in October 1953, Saunders was developing plansfor another automatic store system called the Foodelectric.
