Report Methodology

The information contained in this report was obtained from both primary and secondary research. Primary research entailed consultation with industry sources and on-site examination of the retail milieu. Secondary research entailed data-gathering from relevant trade, business, and government sources, including company literature and corporate annual reports. Packaged Facts has derived sales figures from sources including Information Resources, Inc. (IRI), Supermarket Business, Convenience Store News, and DSN Supercenter & Club Business. Figures provided on national consumer advertising expenditures are based on data (copyright 2000) compiled by CMR, a Taylor Nelson Sofres company, the nation's largest advertising tracking ser-vice.
