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.

      It's your right to refer to it as vague, but it still flouts the theory of "zero evidence" that Tepper is changing. Here's another: "Carolina Panthers head coach Dave Canales and general manager Dan Morgan are reportedly being given a larger leadership role within the organization. Panthers owner David Tepper 'has taken a more hands-off approach of late,' according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. 'He's trying to trust Canales and GM Dan Morgan to get it right, knowing that the roster requires patience in its current state,' Fowler wrote. 'We shall see if he holds to that.'" https://bleacherreport.com/articles/10146782-report-panthers-david-tepper-has-taken-a-more-hands-off-approach-to-team   ""David Tepper just wants to win and he's gonna supply everything that we need to win.. Things are changing around here and things are looking really positive" ~ Dan Morgan  https://x.com/PatMcAfeeShow/status/1917639137550627107?t=6vgo8yXTO6eD0Gb55hyzNg&s=19   From about 2:15-6:35, Julian Council, Locked on Panthers, gives his take on whether Tepper seems to be changing (and specifically referenced the war room in his analysis):    Dean Jones of Cat Crave on David Tepper in the war room. "He was an innocent bystander throughout a hugely important decision, placing full trust in Morgan and Tilis to make the right call." Jones also quoted Pat McAfee: "What I noticed though, at one point, they looked at (David) Tepper to get an answer, Tepper didn’t say sh*t. All anybody has said about Tepper is that he’s hands-on, hands-on, hands-on. Too handsy, too involved. He’s not letting the football people do their thing. We just watched in the biggest moment for their franchise, a top ten pick, he just sat there and let everybody do their jobs. I think if you’re a Panthers fan, you love everything you saw there." https://catcrave.com/silence-from-david-tepper-becomes-panthers-loudest-victory Granted, you're not getting a major headline here, but that's not going to happen anyway. Fowler isn't exactly a nobody, everybody knows McAfee, and you also have some locals that follow the team (including Dean Jones). Of course you have a right to believe that Tepper hasn't really changed, but to say there is no evidence that he just may be changing is not really true. It's just not. Hate the guy, but the way that he has handled this current regime is different than he handled previous teams, and his silence in the war room and publicly in general is different than years back.

      My interpretation of his comments was somewhat different. And I took issue with his contract the day he signed. But it's all history now and doesn't matter in the big picture.
