I don't really think we'll see growth with this. Albertsons and Kroger have both been putting bars in some of its top tier stores across divisions. H-E-B has put in a few restaurants inside stores, too, mostly Central Market, but their biggest attempt with the chef-driven Table 57 closed earlier this year for (you guessed it) Curbside service. Most of their other restaurants are more or less just places with somewhat pricey hamburgers and barbecue, and nearly all of them are more located in the San Antonio/Austin region instead of Houston. To make any of these really successful, though, you need to attract people who aren't grocery shopping, and I think trying a second stand-alone restaurant at this point is jumping the gun and just a distraction.rwsandiego wrote: ↑April 10th, 2018, 4:06 pm And then we have Kroger restaurants.

Do Hy-Vee and Kroger compete in each other markets? I thought Hy-Vee was more Midwest (Iowa/Minnesota) while Kroger was more Rust Belt (Michigan, Illinois, Kentucky).
Makes it all the more weirder that the Smitty's in Missouri actually KEPT their restaurants even after Albertsons took over (for a short time at least).
The problem here is that there is a disconnect between what Wall Street wants and what consumers want.architect wrote: ↑May 11th, 2018, 3:59 pm Mostly negative coverage on the Kroger front in DFW with some of the strategy changes over the past year or so:

From a shopper standpoint, their cost cutting is also becoming increasingly apparent, with understaffed checkout areas, unfresh bakery/deli/produce items, and out of stocks all becoming far too common locally. If Albertsons was competent enough to attempt a comeback, now is their chance.
Either Kroger is really hard up to cut development, or the site simply won't work for them. I am guessing they want to see a solid $750,000+ per week in sales volume for a Fry's Marketplace. Safeway is probably happy at $400,000 per week in sales volume. This however begs the question, why didn't Kroger re-tool this and just build a regular Fry's on the site (which they probably would want to see at least $500,000 per week in sales volume from)...arizonaguy wrote: ↑May 14th, 2018, 4:49 am Fry's is selling a property it has owned since 2006 in an area where new home construction is starting to pick up.

This seems like the type of location that Kroger should be building new stores in. I thought I'd never say this, but with Safeway opening up a new store in the Phoenix area and this location being similar to a lot of the more recently built Safeway stores, I could see Safeway moving in (and an opportunity potentially squandered by Kroger/Fry's).
