PB1735-How Many Businesses Can a County Support

This publication presents the results of a survey conducted with management personnel of grocery stores. The survey (see Appendix) was developed to obtain information needed to evaluate how receptive local grocers are to carrying value-added products produced in Tennessee and to identify the primary steps/procedures/conditions that value-added agri-entrepreneurs should consider to best target local grocers. The entire grocery store survey project was accomplished through the cooperative efforts of several teams of contributing partners.
