that of preparing and serving food. 9 Offpremise facilities include fastfood and other limitedservice restaurants, cafeterias, snack bars, mobile food services (such as hot dog carts and mobile food carts), alcoholic drinking places, and vending machine operations. Food sold by these businesses is generally prepared for consumption off the premises in which it is prepared, even if it may be consumed there. 10 A. Food Retailers in Erie County In 2007, Erie County residents were served by 1002 food retail destinations. Of these, 356 were grocery stores and supermarkets (See Table 4.1). *1These stores, combined, have an estimated $1.8 billion in sales and receipts and employ 10,624 individuals in Erie County. Five years prior in 2002, there were 352 supermarket and grocery store establishments. Those stores comprised an estimated $1.7 billion in sales and receipts and '&B3"5'1(Z_E[\\(,#1,*,1%03$6(U%+,#-(/4"$'()*'(5'0+$E(/4'+'(H0$(0#(,#!+'0$'( in the number of grocery store establishments, but a decrease in the number of employees and the amount of money spent on those employees’ salaries. Supermarkets generally have higher volume of goods sold than grocery stores because of their larger selection. Also, supermarkets are larger in average store squarefootage and in the number of employees. Erie County is home to numerous supermarkets, including Tops Friendly Markets, Wegmans, PriceRite, SaveALot, Walmart, Target, Dash’s Market, Budwey’s, Aldi, and Jubilee Foods. Of these ten companies, only four are headquartered in Western New York. Both Budwey’s and Dash’s Market serve consumers exclusively within Erie County, while Tops and Wegmans, with headquarters in Niagara Falls and Rochester, respectively, serve customers outside Erie County as well. * Though there are quite a few differences between grocery stores and supermarkets, such as product selection, square footage, and available departments, for the purposes of this +'B"+/E(/4'(1,..'+'#!'(2'/H''#(0(-+"!'+5($/"+'(0#1(0($%B'+&0+I'/(,$(1')#'1(25(/4'(#%&2'+( of employees, with supermarkets having more than 50 employees at an individual location. This distinction is made to highlight grocery stores that are generally locally owned and operated. 43 Table 4.1 – Food Retailer Characteristics, Erie County Establishments Sales Employees No. % $1,000 % No. % Supermarkets 56 5.61 Grocery stores Convenience stores Specialty markets 300 125 220 29.92 12.48 21.96 1,816,496 117,526 86,991 57.02 3.69 2.73 10,624 1,104 949 68.92 7.16 6.16 Gas stations 301 30.04 1,164,967 36.57 2,737 17.76 Total 1002 100 3,185,980 100 15,414 100 (Source: 2007 Economic Census & NonEmployers Statistics, U.S. Census Bureau) Distribution Sector Figure 4.3 – Food Retail in Erie County Market Providers Institutional Providers Traditional Market Retail Food Retailers Food Service Retailers Direct Market Retail Supermarkets and Grocery Stores Convenience Stores and Gas Stations Specialty Markets & Specialty Stores Food Cooperatives Full‐Service Restaurants Other Eating Establishments (See Table 4.2) Farmers’ Markets Farmstands CSAs Government Programs (School) (Source: Authors) Private Sector Program (Hospital, Senior Citizen Facility, etc.)
Convenience stores and gas stations have a smaller share of retail sales than the larger food retailers, despite their higher combined number of establishments. In 2007, there were 125 convenience store establishments and 284 gas stations within the county. Convenience stores employed 1,104 individuals and gas stations employed 2,720 individuals. Together, both business types earned $1.2 billion in revenues. Specialty stores constitute an even smaller percentage of sales to the food retailing market. In 2007, there were only 97 establishments employing 826 individuals and bringing in approximately $81 million in receipts. Compared to 2002, there was a slight decrease in the number of establishments from 105 in 2007. The number of employees in 2002 was 722 and there was approximately $70 million in receipts.
