Oakville Grocery

Just about everyone that has driven through the valley has driven past the Oakville Grocery store. Most have probably stopped in at one time. It sits on the east side of highway 128 about halfway between the city of Napa and the town of Calistoga.
The building is in my eyes an iconic image of Napa Valley. This is another of my favorite places to shoot.

Oakville Grocery On the side of Highway 29 in beautiful Napa Valley is the fabulous Oakville Grocery store. This landmark store dates back to 1874. The front of the store has a porch supported by wood pillars. In front of the porch are four wine barrels being used as planters have nice green plants growing in them. The store is painted with a very light brown/tan with green trim. The roof is a red tile roof. On the side of the store is a large Coca-Cola advertisement just below the Oakville Grocery sign. Above the store you can see a tall redwood tree that is on the other side of the store.

Is the world’s largest movable letter marquee sign on a food market in the tiny town of Thorp, Washington?

A #GroceryStore can be well managed if:
- they know their customer base
- have short supply chains
- have smart pricing and discount policies
- the balance of fresh/frozen prepared meals is shifted towards frozen by making them much cheaper than the fresh meals
- have in-house cooking team (or a nearby small business as subcontractor) to transform all the waste into ready made meals (either fresh or frozen) to suit the needs and palate of the local clientele

If grocery stores had to report and prove they had zero #FoodWaste or otherwise pay penalties for all the waste generated, it would help push down grocery bills.

Here is an example of a Japanese discount #GroceryStore going #ZeroWaste thanks to its food procurement, in-house cooking (!!!) & smart discounting policies.

Note the wide consumer base they are serving, including the very poor, who thus can have proper meals at extremely low prices.
