Get ready to start paying more for groceries

 

More?

 

Hell I go to Whole Foods when the budget is tight and I cant afford Harris Teeter.

 

 

edit:

OK not really, but next to Harris Teeter the only thing more expensive is Whole Foods and Trader Joe's.  I would think Kroger would actually bring the prices down a bit.

Trader Joe's isn't expensive at all.

Not sure what is really going to change much (price wise) with HT.  Kroger is going to operate it as a separately managed subsidiary.  Probably positioning it as more upscale while their traditional Kroger stores as more middle of the road.

 

Will be interested to see what they do here.  Especially given that my wife was the Controller and Asst Treasurer for Rudick Corp (owned HT).  We know a lot of people who work for the corporate offices for HT.

Harris Teeter is so freaking expensive, I rarely shop there. I only go there for meat when I buy meat. Almost everything is noticeably cheaper at Food Lion.But nothing beats the produce stand in Mint Hill. I get most of my groceries there for the week and spend about $46.00.

I'm surprised Kroger was able to buy them out...  I was under the impression that Kroger was on the outs in this area for awhile.  It's actually kind of disappointing because I've always thought HT's produce was the best of the regional grocery store chains.  They're finishing one up about a mile from me and I was looking forward to it but, now I don't know what to expect.

Kroger is one of the largest grocers in the world. They did 90 BILLION in revenue last year.

 

They make Publix look small.

 

Nothing is going to chance. This area already had BiLo, Food Lion, Walmart, and Compare Foods for the 'bargain' shoppers.

 

HT is the only upscale supermarket in the area with a large footprint. Kroger is going to keep HT just as they are. They'll probably keep much of the same management staff in place. I know they're keeping the offices here and the distribution center. That doesn't mean nobody will lose their jobs in corporate, but the losses should be minimal if there are any at all.

      Round 7: The Carolina Panthers select LB Jackson Kuwatch (Miami of Ohio)

      By bigginpc · Posted

      He does have speed. 21+ top end speed is very fast for a linebacker and his 3 cone drill time is considered excellent, close to elite.

      This is awesome because you get to see the perspectives of the scouts--get a glimpse behind the curtain. I wonder whose doing this was; I am curious as to why David Tepper allowed it. Maybe it was his wife. Maybe Dan.  At least from my perspective--and probably one shared by other fans--when David Tepper bought the team, he closed everything off too much to the fans, and really didn't give an explanation. Things were obviously done because he (and/or some others wanted to do it). Remember when they used the guise of construction and all that to keep fans from seeing the team during practice? I know there are laws and safety and all that, but Tepper could've made it happen. And, of course, we all know that they essentially fired Jeremy from his independent contractor gig as a photojournalist. I never understood why they'd do that (and the negative reverberations obviously affected Jeremy and ultimately this place--i.e, us fans). The pie was (and is) certainly big enough to throw some scraps to the independents. I realize that you can't necessarily open the floodgates, but a few different perspectives from indy journalists whether in word or photos is a good thing in my mind.  So, it's great to see different perspectives. I will say this however: it is not without risk, as you know there will be some buster who will be calling the scouts out if the players flop. I think we should all keep in mind that the buck stops with the GM. It's nice to have one, however, that is so convicted in his people and process--and ultimately success, that he's willing to give fans access to this type of information. Pass this on to Tepper.

      Round 5: The Carolina Panthers select C Sam Hecht (Kansas State)

      I hope he ends up being our best ever at the position. Ryan Kalil left big shoes behind that we haven't quite been able to fill since.
