Frog Hauling Dumpster Rental appreciates companies that take green initiatives into account as they move forward. When corporations take hold of green ideals they create powerful momentum toward creating a community that lives in balance with our environment. Large corporations have immense buying power. When a company like Wal-Mart or Chipoltle buys locally they inject large sums into the local regional economy.
Many Clothing stores like Target have huge foot traffic. Their decisions undoubtedly have an effect on the local population that shop there. When people see others ride their bike up to the front of the store and park next to the door it ignites the idea that, “they too!” can ride their bikes to the store.
Bike Riding to Target
Target made a great decision to put the bike racks near the entrance of the store. Bike riders feel that their bike is safe if it is near the door where many people are coming in and out. A good bike can cost more than a thousand dollars; a bike rack out away from everything is bait for thieves and vandals. The bike racks shows off a sense of “hipness” which reflects positively on the clothes and other lifestyle goods that they sell in the store. This reflects on how people perceive Target; they are definitely not the K-Mart of old. Sub-consciously we think “Target is ‘Hip’ because they have bike racks. They are in the know, forward thinking, and want a healthy clean Ohio for us to live in.” This definitely reflects in sales and reputation.

As a bike rider I will be more likely to visit a Target knowing that they have bike parking.
