This is the reason HEB won't go back to Louisiana. They tried. With one store. It massively failed. We lost out. :(

But seriously, had they tried with something better than a Pantry store, it may have done better. Also, had they built themselves instead of taking over a dead Delchamps that had itself failed, it could have been better.

We will never know. That's okay though; we have Rouses. If I could get Kroger to take over someone in Lafayette, I'd be happy.
