[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Supply and demand, my friends. That's how economics works. Inventory and store locations became more and more demand driven throughout the 80s with just-in-time inventory and an emphasis on lean strategies. Nobody is going to stock a bunch of fresh food that will spoil out of the goodness of their heart for the 3% of shoppers in Ward 8 who want fresh food. It's demand pull, not supply push. When residents want healthier food, it will arrive[/quote] This. Plus I am from a poorer, crime ridden area (not DC) and most local pharmacies will only put one product on the shelf at a time and restock when someone buys the one product. Why? so only one thing gets stolen at a time, instead of a fully stocked shelf. I would think a small grocery store like an Aldie or something would do well there. [/quote]
