Re: LOI signed for new Albertsons in Ardmore, OK

Construction is well underway - snapped this photo during a quick in/out visit yesterday. Old Navy and Five Below going into spaces on the right in this photo. https://i.ibb.co/g7nZDgm/IMG-4217.jpg The shape looks really cool. Perhaps inspired by Mid Century Modern. Yeah, I was impressed by it - it...

Homeland (former Winn Dixie) in Marietta, OK destroyed by EF4 tornado

This is a tough loss for this small community of about 2,500 residents, and was the only full service grocer in Love County. This was originally built and operated as a Winn Dixie (early 80s)until they pulled out of the TX/OK market in the early 2000s. This tornado also caused major damage to a larg...

Re: LOI signed for new Albertsons in Ardmore, OK

Here is a rendering - I actually haven’t seen this style of Albertsons locally. Nice facade.

Re: LOI signed for new Albertsons in Ardmore, OK

That is already a very undersized store by Kroger standards. It is basically outdated/undersized from opening day. If the merger does not happen hopefully they will press on and build a few more stores. Lawton, etc. I wonder if they have a non compete with Homeland and cannot enter for a certain ti...

Re: LOI signed for new Albertsons in Ardmore, OK

This new Albertsons in Ardmore has now been officially announced. Not sure if the stall was due to economic factors or the pending merger or other issues. This marks the return of the Albertsons brand to Oklahoma after a departure fifteen years ago. Partial article quote: Ardmore residents will be a...

Re: H-E-B to enter DFW market proper with Plano, Frisco stores

Confirmed locations and 2025 opening dates for new stores in Melissa, Prosper, and Rockwall. The Melissa store will be just 40 miles from the Oklahoma border, or about as far as it is from downtown Dallas. It appears H‑E‑B looking to capitalize on all the ongoing growth in northern Collin County. W...

Re: LOI signed for new Albertsons in Ardmore, OK

Now that we see the Kroger gets the Albertsons name everywhere except CA, AZ, CO &WY, do you think this will open as an Albertsons before the merger is done? Or will it open as a Kroger? I think it opens as an Albertsons, with an outside chance as a Market Street. At 50,000 SF, it's seems a lit...
