Food Distributor and A Supermarket Difference Discussion

NOTE: ALL students must contribute discussion and content to each Discussion Board. This does NOT mean typing “I agree with Sandy” and thinking that counts as your contribution. Read the case study, investigate the issue and contribute comments and information based on individual research and evaluation. We are looking for cogent and supportable statements contributing to the discussion. This discussion board will ONLY be available during this week.

Contrast the location of a food distributor and a supermarket. (The distributor sends truckloads of food, meat, produce, etc. to the supermarket and directly to restaurants.) Show the relevant considerations (factors) they share; show those where they differ. Explain why either, both or neither of these would benefit from “clustering”.(500 Words）
