California shoppers prize location over low prices
A USC study surveying over 1,000 shoppers in about 100 supermarkets finds that location tops what shoppers like about their stores. The average shopper reaches his favorite market in 7.6 minutes, travels 1.9 miles, and has lived in the same area for years. Price and checkout speed tie as top concerns, with meat department quality ranking third, while cashing ease and decor improvements are noted.

Penn Central Seeks Extension On Reorganization Plan
Penn Central asks U.S. District Judge Fullam for more time past July 2 to file a plan to reorganize or liquidate the railroad. The filing cites a extensive study and a plan urging Congress to enact four measures to aid financially troubled railroads including tax limits, subsidy leveling, ICC rate adjustments, and government subsidies for lines in the public interest. The carrier serves 16 states and Canada, losing about $600,000 daily and owing over 169 million in delinquent real estate taxes.
