A grocery store marketing tour I developed for my 10-year-old nephew after noticing that he was interested in how money (particularly buying/selling) worked. The tour took about 1 hour and then about 15-30 minutes for him to pick and purchase the items he wanted with the $10 I gave him. The information in this guide is a compilation of industry stories from primary and secondary sources. I encourage you to do your own research to confirm the accuracy of these stories.I also encourage you to use this as a guide and be ready to adapt and use different examples, different products, etc. depending on what the student is engaging with and what is available at your local grocery store. 

Pop-up shops are temporary stores that “pop up” for a few days or months. They are a new form of retail operations that have gained popularity in the past decade. Retailers and brands of all sizes have implemented pop-up shops – from global and national retail chains, to small independent stores and even e-commerce pure players – that have positioned these initiatives as a marketing & communication tool, as incubators to test a market and/or new products, or as inventory liquidation venues. Pop-up shops have also been established as a solution for revitalizing communities where significant storefront vacancies exist.

This resource is a video abstract of a research paper created by Research Square on behalf of its authors. It provides a synopsis that's easy to understand, and can be used to introduce the topics it covers to students, researchers, and the general public. The video's transcript is also provided in full, with a portion provided below for preview:

"Trendy health foods are taking off in the United States, but one new trend may do more harm than good. Unpasteurized, or “raw,” milk is purported to have probiotic health benefits. Unfortunately, despite the proposed benefits, contamination with pathogenic bacteria has occurred. and little is known about the extent of antibiotic-resistant microbes present in raw milk sold at retail stores. A new study evaluated the microbiomes of cow's milk samples using DNA sequencing and metagenomics. including over 2,000 retail milk samples from 5 states – both raw milk and milk pasteurized in different ways. Raw milk samples had the highest prevalence of viable bacteria, with Pseudomonadaceae dominating. Probiotic lactic acid bacteria levels were limited in raw milk, and storage outside of a refrigerator dramatically increased bacterial populations expressing antibiotic-resistance genes..."

This course focuses on the physical and economic renewal of urban neighborhood Main Streets by combining classroom work with an applied class project. The course content covers four broad areas:

an overview of the causes for urban business district decline, the challenges faced in revitalization and the type of revitalization strategies employed;
the physical and economic development planning tools used to understand and assess urban Main Streets from physical design and economic development perspectives;
the policies, interventions, and investments used to foster urban commercial revitalization; and
the formulation of a revitalization plan for an urban commercial district.
