Gansevoort Market

As part of an effective marketing strategy, Western Beef, Inc. establishes supermarkets primarily in inner-city neighborhoods abandoned by many other supermarket chains. With 21 high-volume full service supermarkets and 5 food outlet - type stores supplying customers from the most visible warehouse supermarket chain in the New York metropolitan area. Stores, situated in neighborhoods with large populations and ethnic diversity, continually refine, improve and implement their marketing strategies in order to increase customer service and sales.

In 2006, we opened the South Village and SoHo Real Food Markets in New York City for farmers, artisans, and purveyors of regional and traditional foods. What is Real Food? At a properly-run farmers' market, all vendors are producers. A Real Food Market is more like markets in Europe. There are farmers and bakers, but also food artisans and purveyors, or merchants. Second, the Real Food Region is larger than at a traditional farmers' market. We forage in the Northeast: New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New York, Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachusetts, Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine. Oh, and you might find other goodies you don't see at a true farmers' market, such as a cup of hot coffee (locally roasted) or hot chocolate with local milk. The experiment was a success and we'd like to do it again, but in the summer of 2007 we have too many other things to do. Stay tuned.
