TRADER JOE’S – INDUVIDUAL ASSIGNMENT 1 Part 1 – Introduction What Joe Coulombe did was opening an ordinary supermarket into the industry but the strategies he took were separating the Trader Joe’s from its rivals.

Introduction The restaurant industry in the United States had annual sales of $ 631.8 billion and employs 12.9 million people in 2012. Even in times of recession there is little evidence that this industry has seen a decline especially in its fast food and quick service segment. But with a depressed economy with no immediate upward trend in the near future, majority of the customers indicated that they would either curtail their spending on eating or best maintain its current level which is certainly going to affect the future of many restaurants in the industry. Chipotle is part of the fast casual segment of the U.S industry with over 1,600 restaurants.
It is firmly committed to its clean food policy, meaning that the company only uses fresh and high-quality ingredients with no artificial preservatives. Furthermore, as 2016, Panera operated and franchised over two thousand stores throughout the U.S. as well as few stores in Canada (Panera Bread Company [PBC], 2017). Panera is similar to Chipotle with regards to their alike business philosophy and their strong presence in the U.S market. • The Wendy’s Company: Wendy’s highly values food quality, claiming to use fresh and never frozen ground beef in its food items. The U.S. is probably the most relevant market for Wendy’s, considering that there were 6,098 Wendy’s restaurants in the North America and only 439 restaurants outside of this territory as the end of 2016 (TWC, 2017).
Panera has done all of those as far as I can tell, I personally do not care much for the price or amount of food they offer but everything else is spot on (many people I know love Panera). Panera has many rivals, much more than normal; they compete from both ends of the spectrum which is probably why they are doing so well. Their market is so large they can handle the pressure from outside.

STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT CASE STUDY: MCDONALD’S CORPORATION 1. INTRODUCTION McDonald’s Corporation is the world’s leading fast food restaurant chain with more than 34,000 local restaurants serving approximately 69 million people in 119 countries each day. More than 80% of McDonald’s restaurants worldwide are owned and operated by independent local franchisees. Its revenues come from the rent, royalties, and fees paid by the franchisees, as well as sales in company-operated restaurants (McDonald’s, n.d.).
This is a huge market since the U.S. and the world revolved around convenience. Although McDonald’s is very popular right now you never know if one day it will become a shadow to another company. Next, since there are so many competitors each company is trying to be unique and bring new things to the market. Whether it is McDonald’s McPick 2 or Wendy’s 4 for 4 competitors are trying to out shine each other, making it hard to compete and keep prices down sometimes. With a quick google search I found that there are over 50,000 different fast food chains in the United States alone.
