Retail consumption has evolved into being a relationship where a producer generates products that they believe is desired by the consumer. In most cases, producers do their "homework" and generate products that are appealing to the average customer. This model is required since producers generally do not know their consumer and hence must seek this information by incurring a cost to the producer, which is then transferred to the consumer as a higher cost product.

As a consumer, we can approach the "retail consumption" in different ways: to look out into the "producing community" and selecting items to purchase, or to make a decision related to "need/want" and then find the producer who can fulfill this need.

...a concept in the making...

concept idea built upon Newbo City Market, Cedar Rapids IA with special focus on the "educational kitchen" facility.


A city market is a place to gather. A city market is a destination location. A city market offers unique products and services. A city market is a retail space that is directly tied to the customer. A city market develops the relationship between the consumer and producer.

The residents of Monmouth consume chicken eggs; why don't we have an egg producer in town?
The residents of Monmouth consume coffee; why don't we have a coffee roaster in town?
The residents of Monmouth ride bikes; why don't we have a bike shop in town?
The residents of Monmouth consume bread; why don't we have a bakery in town? (we do have one specialty bakery)

In a "city market" the producer and consumer come together to the benefit of all parties.

...the following is a proposed operation that could be the foundation of a new Monmouth College Student Center (minus the caf)...
