Millennials: A Generation of Foodies

What’s a Millennial, Anyway?

Millennials are unlike any generation before them. At least, that’s what marketing professionals have been telling us for years now, and they may be right. But what they can’t seem to tell us for sure is, exactly what is a millennial? In their study, Pizza Lovers in 2015, quoted throughout this year’s Pizza Power Report, Smart Flour Foods and the Center for Generational Kinetics describe millennials as the generation born between 1977 and 1995. Research firm Technomic has a slightly different definition—those born between 1977 and 1992. Another research firm, Mintel, simply says millennials “are between the ages of 21 and 38,” which comes out to a birth date range of 1997 to 1994.

He’s a foodie, she’s a foodie, you’re a foodie, I’m a foodie—an ever-growing love of good food may be the one thing Americans have in common these days, and that bodes well for the pizza industry. A 2013 study by advertising firm BBDO found that nearly 50% of millennials call themselves “foodies.” Members of this fast-rising generation don’t just eat their food—they engage and connect with it, seeking out new, more intense flavors, extreme textures, and ethnic and artisan dishes. They experience it and then record that experience with a snapshot on their smartphones and a quick post to Instagram.

Of course, millennials don’t have the foodie market cornered; they share it with baby boomers, many of whom also self-identify as foodies. But millennials are poised to take over the world: They already comprise more than half of the labor market and will likely start outspending baby boomers in the next several years. According to Mintel, millennials are projected to account for 30% of all U.S. retail sales by 2020. In short, every pizzeria operator needs to keep this customer demographic in mind if he wants to grow his business. “The tidal wave of 80 million millennials now entering the U.S. pizza market has created a host of new challenges and opportunities,” notes the Smart Flour Foods study. Millennials have their own way of making purchasing decisions and ordering pizza—they rely on their smartphones, often don’t carry cash, and have “the least established brand loyalty” of any generation today. But they’re not necessarily disloyal, the study’s authors conclude. “Millennials are hugely loyal to brands and restaurants to which they feel a connection, but many millennials simply haven’t established that loyalty yet.”

That’s in part because many millennials feel suspicious of corporate brands and place a high premium on authenticity. This means independent pizzerias that emphasize their hometown roots and owner-driven personalities may have an advantage in competing for millennials’ spending dollars. But to get their attention, you will have to move beyond traditional print advertising and direct mail and incorporate online ordering, the latest social media platforms (not just Facebook, which has faded with the younger crowd) and mobile technologies into your marketing plan. The Smart Flour Foods study reports that nearly ⅓ of millennials “use online advertising, social media and online ratings to gain pizza information versus less than 20% for those 35 and over.”

54% of millennials have taken a photo of their pizza and posted it online.

Dear City of Topeka,

John Parker of Mainline Printing is a client of mine and has engaged my real estate services to get Carlos O’ Kelley to Pay for using the Parking Lot or be able to remove their cars lawfully.

Allsigns installed signs in compliance with code and an officer said my signs did not comply.

I need to have the proper signs and have the City bless the insulation of any additional signs.

I’m worried today because of lack of crosswalks. I’m also worried that anyone thinks it is condoned.

Please route this to the proper channels and I want to get busy making a deal for rent or remoaval of the cars.

Thanks.

Thanks

So there is no misunderstanding

You are using the Mainline Printing Parking lot without their permission.

I’ve asked you Manager in Topeka not to do it or offer me rent for the luxury.

I had Allsigns install signs that were to meet code and a Police officer said they did not meet code. Well I’m going to get the signs right and start towing cars if we do not have a lease agreement.   

I going to contact the City of Topeka and really all this data and in the long run you will pay for parking or not park on our property.

Hey we all make a living with real estate deals. No free lunch; NO free parking from now on.

Shawnee County 2037 Comprehensive Plan Final Open House Announced

(Shawnee County, KS) – The Shawnee County Planning Department, along with the consulting team of RDG Planning & Design and CFS Engineers, is reaching the end of developing a long-range Comprehensive Plan for unincorporated Shawnee County. The plan will guide the County as it makes decisions about the physical development of the county through the next 20 years. Accordingly, it addresses and establishes long-range policy for land use planning, transportation, economic development, housing, public facilities, cultural and natural resources, agricultural land, intergovernmental cooperation, and capital improvement planning.

To share the plan’s findings, objectives, and recommendations, a final public open house will be held Thursday, June 15 at the Big Gage Shelter Housing in Gage Park, 635 SW Gage Boulevard, Topeka from 7:00 pm to 8:30 pm. The consultants will present the current draft of the plan (available on the project website at http://rdgusa.com/sites/shawneecountyplan), and the rest of the open house will be an opportunity to conversationally react to and discuss the plan. Based on the input in this meeting, the draft plan will be finalized for adoption. Everyone with an interest is invited to attend.

As a “blueprint” for the future of the county, the plan must be based on the desires and vision of the county’s residents because ultimately the plan is created by, owned by, and championed by the community and its members. As a result, the open house will be followed by an adoption process with additional opportunities for comment. Stay tuned with an up-to-date schedule at http://rdgusa.com/sites/shawneecountyplan/meeting-announcements/.
For more information about planning in Shawnee County, the Shawnee County 2037 Comprehensive Plan, and public engagement activities, visit the project website or contact Thomas Dow, at tdow@rdgusa.com.

RFP for PROJECT SUB

The client is an established, well capitalized manufacturer of a specific product line within the food & beverage industry. They have developed a national brand awareness and following, and have successfully established operations which significantly benefit local economies in other locations in the US. They can readily demonstrate credit worthiness, a strong balance sheet, as well as the capability to enter sophisticated transactions resulting in leasehold and or fee-simple ownership of existing property, in other locations in the US.

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS

Acceptable Geography:

Communities and specific location solutions should be no further than 10- 15 miles from an Interstate Highway or State Highway commonly used and sized for truck routes.

Desired Location Profile:

An established, traditional industrial park location or industrial area within (or close in proximity to) an established urban area (regardless of size) or between several urban areas is preferred. Existing or planned residential development in close proximity (.25 to .5 miles) to the specific property solution will be considered less than desirable. Other major sources (both current and planned) of non-industrial traffic generation (retail, office, mixed use) in the immediate vicinity will be considered as a negative attribute.

BUILDING REQUIREMENTS & KEY INFRASTRUCTURE:

The site consultant is looking for property information in the form of a brochure and/or summary which addresses the requirements below.  If the property flyer doesn’t address the property information requested below, please type your response in “red” below the respective section to provide this additional information and submit this document, via email, with your property flyer. 

General Facility Type:

A facility designed and/or recently used for food processing and/or other light manufacturing operations, or a more robust (in terms of floor thickness & reinforcement, structural capacity, utility capacity, HVAC systems, loading, parking, etc.) building designed for distribution and warehousing uses. A building constructed with pre-cast or tilt-up concrete panels is strongly preferred.

Low water table is desirable, i.e. sufficiently low to prevent the requirement to continuously de-water sub-grade excavation work.

Prefer a building interior that is free of major partitions in proposed manufacturing space.

Prefer interior column spacing of 50 ft., 40 ft. minimum requirement

Preferred Size Requirements:

Stand-alone occupancy in an entire building is strongly preferred over co-tenancy. Spaces with near term, adjacent lease conclusions which would allow for expansion may be considered. Occupancy in a larger facility with adjacent space will require significant restrictions on current and future adjacent occupants.

Preferred size range of 150,000 sq. ft. to 200,000 sq. ft., with site expansion capabilities for an additional 50,000 – 100,000 under a common roof. An underlying land parcel with a 15-acre minimum size is preferred.   (Basically, they are looking for a stand-alone building that can be expanded to 300,000 s.f. as needed if it is not already that size.)

The client is not looking for a greenfield or a virtual building at this time.

If you have a building that has a co-tenancy situation, they would consider if the other tenant is close to the end of their lease so they could occupy the entire building.

Sufficient buffer property surrounding the facility to minimize offsite impacts typical from 24/7 light-industrial and/or distribution activities (i.e., potential for sound, process exhaust, moderate odor, etc.).

Kindly avoid submitting information for facilities which fall significantly short of the critical requirements.    

Age of Facility:

Construction date of no earlier than 1990 preferred. The presence of asbestos or any other known environmental hazard requiring clean-up or mitigation (known or discovered) will be deemed a significant negative factor.

Docks:

A building with docks on both sides is preferred, but not required.

14 dock positions minimum desired, 10 – 12 are acceptable.

Full ‘high-quality’ dock packages (automatic levelers, cushions, seals and locks) are preferred.

Rail Service:

Rail is not required but would be viewed as a positive factor for this requirement.

HVAC:

A building with at least some portion of the non-office area heated and cooled is strongly preferred. Robust, existing wall and ceiling insulation in operable condition are also of significant value.

Parking:

Significant parking is needed. 50 – 75 spaces may be needed in transition shifts and possibly up to 175 spaces. Please note existing spaces, room for expansion and applicable zoning requirements.

Roofing:

Preferred: Adhered white TPO membrane.

Acceptable: Ballasted (if in good condition/clean)

If an option is considered for initial investigation, access to structural roof detail and plans which confirm roof loading capability will be desired.

Roof Insulation:

Preferred: Closed cell insulation over top of metal deck.

Roof Heights:

Preferred: 28’ – 36’ clear

Minimum Acceptable: 28’ clear

Exterior Walls:

Preferred: Metal panels with interior and exterior metal skins over foam insulation core.

Preferred: Concrete tilt-up walls with sandwiched insulating core.

Not Preferred: Metal siding with vinyl-faced fiberglass.

Floors:

Minimum 6” reinforced concrete slabs.

If a property option is considered for an initial investigation, access to structural floor detail that shows load capacities will be desired.

Floor Drain system is preferred, if not present provisions to install a drainage system is required.

Ability to seal joints and improve load bearing capacity of floor in critical areas is necessary.

An existing floor slab is of uniform quality throughout facility.

An existing facility with a sub-base in place and a slab yet to be poured will be considered.

Public Utilities

Power:

Extremely reliable power stability and configuration from nearest sub-station is critical.

·         Identify primary voltage at substation.

·         Identify distance substation is from building service transformer.

·         Utility to provide 3 years of down time records pertaining to this location.

·         Identify age and condition of substation (transformer, gear and controls) and identify problems or upgrade plans for the term of the lease.

·         Is substation duel fed from multiple grids? This is not mandatory but would be considered a benefit.

Power Quality shall not be impacted from nearby industry, such as voltage sags.

Existing 480V, 1 MW, 2,000 amp/ 3 phase 4 wire power in initial occupancy area is preferred. The ability to upgrade service to 4,000 amp, 2 MW is critical for future expansion needs.

Existing utility distribution system shall be able to accommodate an increased connected load of up to 480V, 4000 amps (0.5MW). Electrical utility to identify what is required for this increase in load.

Electrical utility shall have fair and competitive commercial and industrial rates. Identify rate structure and summarize the degree of retail choice among electricity suppliers for industrial customers.

Refrigeration:

Please note the presence of any existing refrigerated space within a building, and/or building infrastructure which has or can support future refrigerated areas. Refrigerated space will be viewed as beneficial.

Compressed Air:

Please note the presence of any type of compressed air system or infrastructure to support the future installation of a system.

Steam:

Please note that a steam source (120 psi preferred) that can accommodate processing and industrial cleaning scenarios will be deemed of value. Please comment if such a source is available.

Water & Sewer:

Please provide detail regarding the line size, pressure and flows of the public water and sewer service to the specific property. Also note the existing future capacity of the water and wastewater treatment systems, maximum acceptable parameters for discharge (BOD, pH, TSS, COD, etc.); along with the rate schedule of discharge of process waste into the public wastewater treatment system. Water consumption is broadly estimated to be 5,000 – 15,000 gpd, with 50% discharge.

Gas:

Natural gas existing or available is required. Please provide the line size and pressure of existing gas service which serves the proposed property, and summarize the degree of retail choice among gas suppliers for industrial customers.

Fire Protection:

An ESFR System is preferred. Please detail the type of system which exists in the facility as part of your response.

If a property option is considered for an initial investigation, access to supply specifications and design detail will be desired.

Solid Waste:

Please note the proximity in miles to nearest composting, recycling, and or waste-to-energy facilities.

Sustainable Design:

An existing facility with existing LEED certification or equivalent is not required, but would be deemed to be of value.

Exterior:

Fenced in site with a security access system and fencing is required, and will be deemed of value.

Separate car and truck entrances are preferred.

Adjacent dust or odor producing operations are of significant concern, from both known and future sources. Please detail any known conflicting operations within proximity and be aware this factor will be closely scrutinized.

OCCUPANCY CONSIDERATIONS

Beneficial Occupancy:

A fee-simple facility purchase acquisition or lease/lease to own is preferred and will be viewed as a significant differentiating factor. Lease occupancy may be considered pursuant to the conditions and terms described in the three sections immediately below. A planned facility with expansion area in the later stages of permitting with a construction and delivery schedule that meets the desired occupancy schedule will be considered.

Lease term:

An initial lease term of 10 years is desired, with 2, 10 year renewal options.

NNN lease form is preferred

A Right of First Refusal to purchase the facility, or fixed price purchase option will be required.

Tenant/Landlord relationship:

The ability to truly “partner” with a building owner on a long term basis will be the most critical requirement of a lease situation. This will need to translate into a carefully pre-determined understanding between tenant and owner which allows tenant significant flexibility and autonomy to make improvements to the building, based on their process needs. An ownership structure which offers stability, a strong local presence and streamlined decision making is crucial and will be evaluated vigorously as part of the search process. Carefully negotiated restrictions on adjacent uses (if applicable) will be critical as well.

A facility owned or controlled by a local/regional development authority or other governmental jurisdiction is acceptable.

Aerial and location maps are requested if not included as part of summary.

Kindly avoid submitting information for facilities which fall significantly short of the critical requirements.

Regardless of lease or ownership means of control, fee ownership or beneficial occupancy is required by early Summer of 2017.
