      abstract = {The Retail Food Industry Center established the  Supermarket Panel in 1998 as the basis for ongoing study of  the supermarket industry.  The Panel is comprised of  individual stores that provide information annually on  store characteristics, operations, and performance.  The  Panel has two overall objectives: 1. Provide timely, useful  information for the industry through benchmark reports and  annual summaries.  2. Be a ready source of longitudinal,  cross-section data for research on current and emerging  issues.  The Panel is unique because the unit of analysis  is the individual store and the same stores are tracked  over time.  This makes it possible to trace the impacts of  new technologies and business practices as they are  adopted.  The 2000 Panel consists of 344 stores selected at  random from the nearly 32,000 supermarkets in the U.S.  It  is a representative cross-section of the industry.  The  information these stores have provided is the basis for the  in-depth view of the industry presented here.  Key findings  are summarized in the margins of each section in this  report.  In general, these findings highlight significant  correlations among store characteristics, business  practices, and performance.  They should not be interpreted  as cause and effect relationships.  The remainder of this  report begins with a brief description of the data  collection procedures for the 2000 Supermarket Panel and a  descriptive profile of the participating stores, with  breakdowns by size of store group, format, and location.},
