Farmer Jack erects shopping cart barriers
To stop shopping carts from being
stolen, Highland Park's Farmer Jack has erected barriers.
Consequently, customers can no longer roll their shopping out
to their cars.
Although the continual loss of carts must be a dent in profits, is
it significant when compared to the volume of business that will now
shop elsewhere?
Highland Park is located on the hub of the Lodge, I-75 and Davison
freeways. Customers with transportation, money and time might not
put up with the inconvenience and merely shop in the suburbs where
the supermarkets offer easier access to personal transportation.
For HP's Farmer Jack the danger is that the store may become
by increments a shopping location for people with little choice than
to shop at their store.
Typically, this would be customers without transportation.
Finally, it makes the focus of the Highland Park commercial center
look like a ghetto. This development is a lose-lose situation.
