Retail Watchers

Time for the new store to open. It will be interesting to see what they do. It is a small store, but all the stores on Coronado are small. It is also the only full-service supermarket unless you count Smart and Final Extra, which I don't. Might be a good opportunity for Albertsons to get its (nicer...
