Real or Perceived, Madison Grocery Monopoly ... - Madville Times
Poll I conducted in January 2010: a new grocery store is Madison’s greatest perceived retail need.
We all have our anecdotal examples of the strangeness of having just one grocery store in Madison. Last night, meeting participant Daryl Becker noted that Sioux Center, Iowa, population just 600 larger than Madison’s, has a Hy-Vee and a Fairway grocery store. Becker also said that, on a West River church trip this spring, he found three grocery stores in Mission. I noted that Custer and Hot Springs are both smaller than Madison yet support two grocery stores each. Gene Hexom observed that Madison supported five grocery stores in the 1940s and that all appeared to do well in a market just slightly larger than our current county population. Manuela Neuman noted when out-of-town parents bringing their DSU-bound kids to Pamida for dorm supplies, they ask where the grocery stores are and are suprised to hear an answer in the singular.
Madison’s strange grocery store monopoly brings shortcomings in price and selection. Counting receipts, Becker finds he saves $10 on weekly grocery shopping when he takes his business to the Hy-Vee and Wal-Mart in Brookings rather than the Madison Sunshine… and that’s after factoring in the additional gasoline cost. Allen spoke of finding the local Sunshine shelves bare of wheat bread and regular milk one evening. Gale Pifer said that when his daughter’s vegetarian family and his vegan grandson come visit, they have no local grocery options at all. Erin Heidelberger expressed frustration over the fact that, with all the grocery items Madisonians have to travel elsewhere to buy, the local Sunshine chose to expand its liquor stock .
Does the local Sunshine grocery store take advantage of its monopoly position in Madison? Perhaps. But Jon Hunter astutely observed that the perception of monopoly may be as potent as the reality.
He recalled that when the Fullerton lumberyard in Madison closed, the only remaining lumberyard, UBC, asked the Chamber of Commerce to work on recruiting another lumberyard to replace that competition. Hunter suggested UBC wanted to fight the impression people might get that “That’s the only store in town, so he’s gonna rip me off!”
Perceived or real, the ills of Madison’s grocery monopoly may be hard to remedy. Manuela Neuman voiced the common local lore that a Hy-Vee was supposed to move into that big inviting spot between Montgomery’s Furniture and Lewis but was nixed. Hunter again contributed valuable background: he said the owner of that spot, Clark Sinclair, has long been interested in putting a grocery store in that spot. However, Hunter says Sinclair has found that grocery stores and suppliers have a lot of interconnections and deals that protect their turf and stifle competition.
