This document analyzes the phrase "no man might buy or sell" in Revelation 13:17. Through textual analysis of the Greek words used and their usage in the New Testament and Revelation, the author argues this phrase was intended symbolically rather than literally. A historical analysis found no records of economic prohibitions against first century Christians, making a literal interpretation unlikely. The author concludes the phrase was not about future prohibitions but carried symbolic meaning for the original audience, based on the textual and historical evidence.

8. Part of national trend
Why?
• Impractical opening times
• One dimensional offer: no variety in product stages
• Climate, hygiene & safety issues
• No public facilities
• Pricing is “mythical” (always best offer?)
• Provenance is often unclear
• Waste management not in place
• Consumer is taken for granted
9. European trend in Food Retail
• Today's reality
No counterbalance possible
Because of supermarkets’ financial power

10. Rotterdam council saw covered market as solution
Key question was: for whom?
• Last market stall owner standing?
• Food retailers being swamped by supermarkets?
• Council who wanted to privatize?
Being the first Market Hall ever and now in the private domain,
we could develop as we saw fit.
Break the mold and start from scratch.
11. Key Choice
They demand:
• Availability
• Choice
• Service
• Convenience
Renewed focus on the consumer!
12. How?
• Teaming up: a variety of food retailers working together
• Complete offer in all imaginable stages of preparation
• Blurring is essential
• Eat in, Eat out, Eat all!
Through scale and diversity!
13. • Winning sketch: integrated design by MVRDV architects

ESTIMATES PRIOR TO OPENING
With an estimated turn over of 62 to 69 million
27. 5th million visitor expected in April
Reality: amount of visitors up till now
2015: weekly average of 135.000 visitors per week
7 million people expected over year 1
Estimated turn over 2015 61 million
28. :Negative
-Younger generations avoid: too busy & too exclusive
- Building still major reason for visiting
- Not yet seen as place to purchase food daily
Does consumer profile fit with estimate?
Positive:
- Strong regional presence
- Important local group has yet to come
- Visiting frequency is on the increase (twice a week)
- Average spending also on the up
29. Key indicator: Net Promotor Score (NPS)
Very high NPS score, Rotterdam feels proud (Dutch average is -/- 3%!)
30. Next steps: more chances
• Climate + atmosphere: a constant climate has to be achieved
• More “Blurring” is essential: many retailers still traditional, new approach needed
• No one dimensional sales unless highly specialized: complete offer in all stages of
preparation
• More (price-)choice & competition: especially in fish
• More working together making offer complete
• Marketing: away from context, more on content
• Service: From home delivery to personal shopping
• Accessibility: even longer opening times, Sunday in particular
• More focus on regional produce and shortening of the food chain
• Special focus on health, education and children.
• Visitors have to treat Hall as “ their domain” a home from home
