Abstract:

Belk, Lowe's, and Food Lion are readily recognized as giants in their respective industries. Years before their customers numbered into the millions and their employees in the tens of thousands these three businesses were small, one-store, family-owned operations struggling to survive the challenges that all new businesses face. Westbrook discusses how each store developed and what each attributes its enormous success to.
