a terrible looking Winn Dixie from photo of interior *and* exterior Google map, Target with a pFresh department. For a town of just over 40,000 looks like plenty of options.
2 Walmart Supercenters (WM is a grocer at this point...), two nice looking stores called Corner Market, Sunflower Market,wnetmacman wrote:
Hattiesburg - not served by any national grocer except maybe one Winn Dixie. Pretty good college town.

Walmart and Save-a-Lot both seem to have a decent amount of stores in this region.wnetmacman wrote:Gulf Coast - only served by WD and Rouses, and WD is weak. Rouses has already closed one store they bought in Long Beach.

They could probably take over Mississippi without any effort, but they would face a challenge in Louisiana unless they learn the state and its tastes. That's where Rouses has done extremely well. They don't always win on price, but you cannot beat their service and selection. That's where they have faltered outside Louisiana - nobody outside the state knows what they're offering.
