Interesting Links

In researching our sociospaces, we have come across some interesting links.

Weaver Street Market has a great website in that it is informative, and it also clues readers into the values of the company. Here is a link to the produce specific page so you can get a feel for the goals of Weaver Street's produce department:

Harris Teeter is located less than a block from Weaver Street but it's website provides some interesting contrasts. Along with being able to order food online, it also provides you with specials on food that aren't available at WSM. By examining the various links you can get more information about the brands that Teeter buys from and the guarantees they make about their products.

Another interesting site to look at is the Wikipedia site about Harris Teeter. Many resources made an interesting note of the fact that one of Harris Teeter's earliest purchases as a company was of a dairy. It seems that lowering the cost of dairy products was a major focus for the company early on:

Ram's Head Market, located below the dining hall, is an important grocery source for students that live on campus and don't have transportation to other stores. It is interesting to see that their site has the least amount of nutritional information as well as product information. The site focuses far more on noting its size and its centralized spatial location.

As a side note, we've added a new banner. All images in the banner are original except the central image of an old milk truck which is courtesy of the New Mexico State University's history page. The link to the original image is here:
