Re: Dueling Krogers

In Pocatello, Idaho, there was a Smith's store on Yellowstone that was built sometime around 1990 (not an exact date). Fred Meyer moved from its old department-store-only store in a strip mall with Albertsons across the street into a supercenter in the last few years. By then Smith's and Fred Meyer were both owned by Kroger, so the Smith's store closed. The Albertsons store has closed since then, also. Not much of a duel, but worth noting. --Previous Message--
