Changing Face Of Retail Food Marketing (Continued from Pago AM) from other countries. “The fastest growing dry goods segment is Mexican foods.” Trend number four as seen by Noddle is the situation of dual in comes. Seventy percent of all women between the ages of 25 and 54 work outside the home. Noddle said that 20 years ago their stores had to be stocked and ready for customers by 7 a.m. Why? Be cause the homemaker dropped the kids off at school and then shop ped. Now, Noddle said, his stores do relatively little business be tween 8 and 4. “What do you think is the third largest shopping day for us?” he asked. “Sunday.” Two industries have benefited from so many women in the work force—daycare and the fast food industry. Noddle said two out of three meals a day are eaten out of the household. Noddle said the fifth trend deals with health and nutrition, both of which Noddle says are here to stay - they are not fads. Longevity is at its highest level in our country’s history. Women outlive men by four years. People are eating less red meats and less fat But, Noddle added, there are always counter trends there are more bakeries selling more baked goods. “We all know the person who walks three miles a day then stops in the bakery for a (rig, sweet roll. He says, T worked for this. I de- serve it’.” Noddle labels his sixth trend “fresh and fast” “All Europeans think we eat on styrofoam.” Time is money to the dual-in come family. They want every thing packaged and ready to go— vegetables already peeled, micro wavable cakes, heat-up meats.

Even fast food restaurants weren’t fast enough without drive-throughs!” Environmental concerns were Noddle’s seventh trend. “We are behind environmentally. In Ger many, to sell a product it must be environmentally safe. And to be marketed, the product must have the government seal saying it meets the government’s environ mental criteria.” Noddle believes greater strides will be made in this area with Gore as vice president Noddle’s last trend is global competition. Every major industry in this country faces global com petition. “The world is going glo bal,” Noddle said. “Chile changed their agricultural makeup and is now the largest exporter next to the United States.

Canada is our number one trad ing partner followed by Japan and Mexico. “In 20 years, I predict China will be a force to consider. They have a blend of communism and free enterprise and they take over Hong Kong in 1999,” Noddle said. Centering on America’s eco nomy, Noddle said the three com panies he knew as a child Sears, IBM, and General Motors are all in trouble now. In the next three years, Walmart may be the next largest corporation, pass ing GM. “And wait till fiberoptic (tech nology) hits us!” Noddle said. “Pennsylvania legislature approv ed fiberoptic technology for Penn sylvania by the year 2015, not just for Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, but for everywhere else, too. In the next 20 yean, I see nonstore re tailing as a way of life. Macy’s now has its own television pro gram where people dial in and the product is delivered to them.” In response to a food safety question. Noddle said America has the safest, best food supply in the world. He said the variety we have goes unsuipassed and the percent of income we pay for food is one of the lowest 10-20 per cent of our income goes for food while the third world pays 30-40 percent Noddle ended by saying that we all must be willing to accept these types of changes. • » m f.
