  14. Consumer cooperatives Consumer cooperatives are owned by their customers, who invest, elect officers, manage operations, and share savings or profits. They account for a tiny piece of retail sales. Cooperatives are formed because consumers think they can do retailing functions, traditional retailers are inadequate, and prices are high. They have not grown because consumer initiative is required, expertise may be lacking, expectations have frequently not been met, and boredom occurs.

  15. APPENDIX ON THE DYNAMICS OF FRANCHISING • Over the past two decades, annual U.S. franchising sales have more than tripled. • U.S. franchisors are in over 160 countries worldwide. The number keeps rising due to these factors: • The potential in foreign markets • The acceptance of franchising as a retailing format in more nations • Fewer trade barriers due to such pacts as NAFTA
