Running head: GROCERY INC. PAPER

Grocery Inc. Paper

Grocery, Inc., is a retail grocery store chain with stores located throughout the United States. The organization has contract with many vendors authorizing the store to sell the vendors products. There are many laws and guidelines that Grocery, Inc. must follow. We will review many different scenarios that the store may encounter and some the laws that they must abide by.
Common Law Contracts and UCC Article 2 Contracts There is a possibility that both common law and UCC Article 2 contracts would apply between Grocery and their vendors, however for domestic purposes the UCC Article 2 contract would supersede that of the common law contract. Grocery also has international vendors which make it a bit more interesting, each country might have their own version of the US UCC, for example the United Kingdom has CISG (Contract for the International Sale of Goods) and while there are the trade abbreviations that widely used both here and abroad they might have different meanings. If the matter is brought to court they will "apply the definitions used in their own jurisdiction", meaning that when contracts are created the language used must clearly express the wishes of both parties. (Cheeseman, page 398) Since the rules of Article 2 of the UCC can be applied in on aspect or another then it would be safe to say that Article 2 applies to the contracts with Grocery and its vendors.
Breach of Contract
It is my understanding that Grocery would win this case and that the courts would not see that Masterpiece had a right to discharge the contract due to commercial impracticability. "Courts are generally reluctant to grant relief under this provision because they (usually rightly) perceive that if someone invokes it, they are more often than not trying to get out of a contract that they would have been ill-advised to enter into in the first instance."

    Threat of New Entry- The Grocery market is extremely competitive, with food sales increasing yearly. The large supermarket grocery stores have economies of scale, which makes it harder for new smaller companies to enter the grocery market. Grocery Checkout has a unique niche where it is the only online grocery store in London right now, but other companies that can’t compete with the supermarkets may think of the online rout to gain an advantage. The capital required to run and online store is considerably less than the capitol required to run a supermarket.…

    In recent years the internet has served as a platform for online retailing for most products, take the case of online retailers such as Amazon.com or EBay who have successfully been able to sell a wide range of products over the internet. However, most companies have not been able to emulate this success in online grocery retailing. In fact, most early attempts resulted in failure as it is the case of Webvan.com and Peapod.com among others. Failure in this arena can be attributed to three main reasons. First, many customers want to actually sample the products to ensure their freshness, specially fruits, vegetables and meats. Second, high distribution costs due to large volumes and the fact that many products are perishable. And third, grocery retailing is a low margin/highly cost-competitive business.…
