i chose this hotel for its location , with direct train access to haneda airport and close to tokyo centre . it took me slightly more than 5 mins walk from shinagawa station , and it ' s extremely popular for that reason . however , what i did not expect was . . .
reception staff spoke good english and got the paperwork processed quickly to check in . my corner room looked larger than expected with plenty of space to lay several large suitcases on the floor . it faced the back side and was quiet at night with no . . .
great location . walking distance from shinagawa station . the great point is you can see the hotel once you come out from the west exit . so , no need to hunt high and low . one more thing , the bus to fuji is also within walking distance . outside the station . for morning . . .
close to station and with new and clean rooms . no restaurant or room service but lobby has cheaper drinks from vending machines than you could buy in the local shops . friendly staff some with english ability .

a very well located hotel in this busy area of tokyo . it is 5 mm away from the railway station . . . and the area is full of great restaurant . walk an other 5 mm after the station and you can do your shopping . . .
the hotel is very convenient and around 5 - 10min walk from the ikebukuro jr and metro station . frankly speaking , the popular shopping area of ikebukuro is on the other side of the metro exit , but there are still a lot of restuarants and convenience stores near . . .

while this is a budget chain hotel , it has maintained a high standard . the chinese speaking gentleman at the front desk ( forgot his name ) offered to combine my two separate bookings into one so that i did not have to switch room during the day . . .
nice hotel and nice room , friendly staff and open to help . however , awfull breakfast with just a poor salad and juice . the room was big enough ( speaking about tokyo where all is small ) , clean and bright .
this is my second stay at this hotel and i would stay again .

aurora caskets are brand name funeral caskets made in the united states . as aurora puts quality as one of its most important goals , see the following quote of aurora ' s :
in an age of high - tech manufacturing automation , many people don ' t realize that much of aurora caskets are still partially done by hand . aurora could automate these processes to save money , but it would be at the expense of our products and our customers . each component of an aurora casket is crafted as one might create a family heirloom—an achievement that lasts , protects and pays tribute . much of aurora ' s care is invested in the little things that you might not notice . but these little things can make all the difference for offering quality and lasting value . the aurora difference !

work environment is clean and co - workers are friendly . since the matthews purchase several of the senior vp ' s are gone . this gave a huge boost to morale . this former execs were known for being task masters and had little to no ethics . the hope was that matthews would clean up the good ole boy network at play here .

with the experience of this venture under its belt , super valu created its own version of the hypermarket , twin valu . a combination of a cub foods and a shopko , this 180 , 000 - square - foot store opened in early 1989 in cleveland . the hypermarket concept as executed by super valu emphasizes low prices , good selection , and brand - name merchandise .

one of the problems that super valu will face in the 1990s is the loss of business through acquisition of its independent retail customers by chains . not content to stand still , however , super valu began construction of a 300 , 000 - square - foot grocery warehouse in kenosha , wisconsin in 1989 , with plans for additional facilities to be built on the site in 1990 and 1991 . other plans for the company in the early 1990s include an additional twin valu store in cleveland and expansion of the hypermarket concept to other cities . the main focus at super valu has always been helping its retailers stay competitive , and this remains the company

in 1968 preferred products , inc .

crocker , a cpa who came to super valu from the presidency of the oregon - based grocery and pharmacy chain fred meyer , inc . , also directed the company
diversification was the moving force at super valu in the 1970s . beginning with the 1971 acquisition of shopko , a general merchandise discount chain , super valu began what has proved to be a highly profitable program of nonfood marketing operations . shopko , founded by james ruben in chicago in 1961 , opened its first store in green bay , wisconsin in 1962 . in 1971 super valu acquired daytex , inc . , a textile goods company , but the venture proved unsuccessful and its assets were liquidated in 1976 .
the advent of universal price codes and scanning equipment in the grocery business led to the introduction , in the mid - 1970s , of testmark , an independent research center providing store measurement data . this data had been available from super valu stores since 1965 and , during the period before testmark was established , had been handled by super valu merchandising research , an internal department for clients who preferred not to use commercial research companies . in direct competition with these commercial research companies , testmark , with super valu
s continuing acquisition and expansion program . very much a part of the trend toward consolidation in the food wholesale industry , super valu continued to purchase smaller food wholesalers , acquiring
super valu also formed an insurance agency , risk planners , in 1969 . this wholly owned subsidiary began by providing insurance on retail property for the company and its retail affiliates . tailored specifically to the needs of retailers , its products have expanded to include all types of insurance for super valu and its stores and franchisees , as well as independent retailers
the 1960s were a growth period for super valu in ways other than acquisition . the company expanded its retail support services to include accounting , efficiency studies , budget counseling , and store format and design advice . in 1962 super valu established planmark , a department which offers engineering , architectural , and design services to independent retailers , subsidiaries , and corporate stores . planmark became a division in 1975 ; with studio 70 , its commercial design arm , planmark uses computer - assisted design to analyze and develop plans for construction , expansion , or remodeling . this innovation , implemented in the recessionary years of the late 1970s , allows super valu retailers to take a project from planning to opening faster than their competition . super valu also began providing financial assistance for retailers building new stores , bankrolling some 500 stores in a three - year period in the 1960s . super valu also signed leases on its retailers
super valu stores , inc . was born of a merger , and a pattern of mergers , acquisitions , and divestitures has marked its rise to eminence in the food wholesale and distribution industry . minnesota - based super valu is the second - largest wholesaler and distributor in the united states , with retail support and distribution centers nationwide . the company operates and franchises retail stores and provides highly developed retail support for the independent grocery store operators who belong to its network of subsidiaries , franchises , and customers . super valu also owns , operates , and services a nonfood chain .
and jacksonville distribution centers . in what super valu considered a breach of their agreement , pantry pride began selling off its stores . with this and the fact that the florida market had historically been dominated by the chains , super valu , claiming that the florida market would take a large amount of capital to develop , sold the miami center to malone & hyde in 1985 , and the jacksonville center to winn - dixie in 1986 .
in june , 1981 jack crocker , at age 57 , stepped down from his position as ceo . crocker , who headed super valu for nine years , brought the company to just over $ 4 billion in sales . he is reported to have handpicked michael w . wright , who had joined super valu as an executive vice president in 1977 and become president in 1978 , to be the next ceo . wright had first come to crocker
winston & newell offered independent retailers services such as food processing and packaging , preparation of advertising for individual store use in local newspaper advertising , and store planning assistance , in addition to supplying most of the merchandise sold . this voluntary association introduced the super valu name and operated independently from the wholesale business . super valu and another voluntary association called u - save ( which was also formed under the auspices of winston & newell ) were familiar to grocers in
in 1965 super valu acquired the lewis grocer company of indianola , mississippi . the lewis grocer company was founded by morris lewis sr . and eventually became a multi - million dollar wholesale grocer , branching out later into the retail grocery business .
in 1986 and 1987 super valu acquired two more distribution centers in albuquerque and denver , respectively . these centers were owned by associated grocers of colorado which , at the time of the denver purchase , was in chaper 11 bankruptcy proceedings . in december , 1988 , super valu acquired the minneapolis ; fargo , north dakota ; and green bay , wisconsin distribution centers of red owl stores , inc . the former denver and albuquerque divisions of western grocers were moved into these new facilities .
in 1964 super valu expanded its area of operation outside the midwest by acquiring chastain - roberts company , which had begun in 1933 as a wholesale flour and feed company , and the mcdonald glass grocery company , inc . of anniston , alabama .
and the retail stores that super valu owned through the original transaction and a later acquisition of stock lost money for the company . by 1988 the company had divested itself of these stores , but operated or franchised seven cub stores in the atlanta area .
when jack j . crocker became chairman and ceo of super valu in 1972 , he initiated another diversification venture , county seat . a success story in its own right , county seat opened its first store in 1973 selling casual apparel , including the complete levi
by the mid - 1980s super valu had developed a substantial presence in the military - commissary marketplace . the company had been supplying both product and retail support to military commissaries in the united states and abroad and , in 1986 , demonstrated its commitment to international operations by appointing a military and export product director . super valu international had its beginnings with the caribbean and far east markets and now supplies fresh goods and private label canned goods , general merchandise , and health and beauty aids to most countries of the world .
during the 1980s shopko continued to expand and to turn in substantial profits for the company . at the end of fiscal 1989 shopko operated 87 stores in 11 states from the midwest to the pacific northwest and had sales of $ 1 . 28 billion . now super valu
acquisition followed acquisition during the 1960s as super valu expanded throughout the midwest . in 1963 the company acquired the j . m . jones company of champaign - urbana , illinois and the food marketing corporation of fort wayne , indiana . each of these companies could trace its beginnings to the early days of the grocery business . jones began as a general store and developed into a large wholesale business ; food marketing dated back to the early 1800s , as bursley & company and the bluffton grocery company . the food marketing acquisition also brought super valu into the institutional market .
super valu ushered in the 1980s with the acquisition of cub foods , a discount grocery store operation . warehouse stores , with bare bones facilities and prices , were a phenomenon of the 1970s . cub foods was founded by the hooley family , grocers since 1876 in still water , minnesota . the hooleys opened their first warehouse store with the cub name in a minneapolis suburb in 1968 . when super valu purchased the chain in 1980 , there were five cub stores and a hooley supermarket in still water . culver m . davis was appointed president and chief executive officer of cub foods in 1985 . davis had joined the hooley organization in 1960 and was a founder , with the hooley family , of the discount stores .
after acquisition , these two companies were operated as autonomous divisions in a company that has historically given its divisions and stores as much free rein as possible . russell w . byerly became president of super valu in 1958 . byerly , a north dakota native who joined winston & newell in 1932 as a bookkeeper , served as president until 1964 and later was chairman of the board and chief executive officer .
s tenure at super valu was characterized by his success in running what was one of the better - capitalized and stronger wholesalers in the country and by the casual no - frills operation he ran . company headquarters were in a warehouse , not a plush office . crocker personally founded a professional soccer team , the minnesota kicks , in 1976 . they , too , were a crocker success story , becoming popular in their home territory .
with minnesotan thomas g . harrison at its helm , winston & newell became one of the first wholesale distributors in the nation to join the independent grocers alliance ( iga ) . harrison , the son of perry harrison , a principal in one of the predecessor firms , had joined winston , harper , fisher company in 1919 as an assistant sales manager . he successively became assistant treasurer and executive vice president , directing the operations of winston & newell and later super valu in a variety of executive positions from 1926 until his retirement as ceo in 1958 .
wholesale grocery firms b . s . bull & company and newell and harrison in the late 19th century . a series of subsequent mergers during the early 20th century culminated in the joining of the winston , harper , fisher company with the george r . newell company to form the winston & newell company . winston & newell was incorporated in 1926 in response to the threat that independent retailers faced from the emerging grocery store chains that began developing in the 1920s . winston & newell hoped to improve services to these independent retailers so they could withstand the competitive impact of the chain stores ; this remains super valu
stores and its own corporate stores , the company saw a benefit in the opportunity cub offered its retailers to learn about warehouse - store operations from the inside . several of its retailers did not totally agree , citing a 10 % to 15 % reduction in business when a cub foods store opened in their market area . to address this complaint , super valu started franchising its cub stores and also developed county market , a downsized version of cub with the same low prices , but aimed at smaller communities and at independent retailers who could not meet the financial commitment that buying a cub franchise required . by 1989 , cub foods
