Excerpt from Availability and Display of Frozen Foods in Retail Stores in Washington, D. C A random sample of stores was drawn from a list of all stores in the city that handled frozen food and did an annual business of $75, 000 or more. Sample stores were then divided into three Size groups. The large group consisted entirely of chain stores. One store in the medium group was a chain. All others in the sample were independently managed. The total selling space varied from 590 to 8, 884 square feet in the stores studied. Stores are listed in ascending order of area of floor space within each size group (table The stores in the small group had a greater variation in area of floor space than those in either the medium or large group-two of them had more floor space than some of the stores in the large group. The floor space devoted to frozen foods varied from 1. 0 to 8. 0 percent, averaging 2. 7 percent in the small stores and 3. 6 percent in the medium and large stores. Since total sales for each store were obtained only by the categories shown above, it was not possible to determine frozen food sales as a percent age of total sales.
