Beckham agreed Los Angeles move after advice from Cruise

Jan 12, 2007 — LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Former England captain David Beckham sought the advice of his actor friend Tom Cruise before agreeing his big-money move from Real Madrid to Los Angeles Galaxy worth $1 million a week over five years.

"I was on the phone to him (Cruise) for about an hour last night and an hour the night before," Beckham told reporters on Friday.

"Obviously I asked him for his advice because he is a very wise man and a very good friend of mine. It's going to be a big help for us to have friends when we arrive in LA."

Beckham, who announced on Thursday that he would be joining Major League Soccer side the Galaxy in August, appeared via satellite from Madrid at a Los Angeles news conference.

"I am coming not to be the superstar but to be part of the team, work hard and hopefully win things," said Beckham, whose five-year deal is the biggest in world sport.

"It is about the football. I am coming to make a difference. I would like to take (the sport) to another level."

The former Manchester United player said soccer had huge potential in the United States, particularly with children, despite its second-class status by comparison with basketball, baseball, football and ice hockey.

BIGGEST SPORT

"I am not saying my coming to the States is going to make soccer the biggest sport in America because that is going to be very difficult to achieve," said Beckham.

"But I wouldn't be doing this if I didn't believe I could make a difference and take soccer to a different level. This is something that I believe in."

Beckham was dropped by England after the 2006 World Cup and has spent much of this season on Real's bench.

He and his wife, former Spice Girl Victoria, have become two of the most recognisable and marketable figures in sport and celebrity culture.

The Galaxy said the club had sold more than 1,000 season-tickets on Thursday in the heady first hours after news broke of Beckham's signing.

Beckham told ABC television's Good Morning America on Friday the package was "an amazing amount of money."

Supermarket Wars: Stores Use Dancing Animals, Size to Battle for Your Dollars

Grocery store Jungle Jim's boasts

Fire Trucks, Fish Boats Used in Layout of Jungle Jim's in Ohio

Jan. 13, 2007 — Fifty years ago, a trip to the grocery store usually didn't have many surprises. The produce usually looked the same wherever you shopped. The clerks were friendly and the bag boys would even help you carry your groceries to the car.

The modern grocery shopping experience now includes bigger crowds, less personal attention and so many choices that it can be downright confusing.

"Supermarket shopping is a difficult experience. I never find what I am looking for. Places are busy all the time. It's frustrating," one shopper told "Good Morning America Weekend Edition."

In recent years, many shoppers have abandoned their local grocery chains for bulk retailers like Costco, and Wal-Mart, who understand consumers like to buy more for less.

But now the race to build bigger and better has reached a new level.

Welcome to Jungle Jim's International Market in Fairfield, Ohio. A grocery store that looks more like a theme park, the sprawling mecca for foodies has over six acres of shopping under one roof.

Hosting more than 50,000 shoppers a week, it's a world tour of food fantasy from the Fabled Sherwood Forrest to Gilligan's Island. Displays include dancing animatronic animals, an authentic shrimp boat, aquariums, wine cellars and even a fire truck suspended over 1,000 different hot sauces.


Upping the Ante to Woo Shoppers

Showmanship, excess and a sense of humor translate into big business for owner and creator Jim Bonaminio. Jungle Jim's raked in over $100 million in sales last year.

"People get lost. We're ready to give people beepers here, like a restaurant, they get lost for days," Bonaminio said.

Jungle Jim's has become such a phenomenon, shoppers are actually coming from hundreds and sometimes thousands of miles away just to experience it.

Events like cooking classes, shows and wine tasting help shoppers make a day of it.

But in the end, it's the food that's the big draw. The produce section stretches for 1.5 acres. The store boasts one of the nation's largest wine collections. There are also cigars, more than 1,600 cheeses, a Titanic-sized seafood section and hundreds of honeys.
