    I work at a Ralphs in Rancho Cucamonga on Baseline Rd and less than a couple miles down that road is another Ralphs on Baseline that used to be a Hughes. I thought the former Hughes would be gone by now but the rent must be pretty cheap so they keep both stores open.

    : 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.

    : There is an interesting phenomenon in
    : the
    : Buckhead area of Atlanta. On Peachtree
    : Road there are two Kroger stores
    : operating virtually across the road
    : from each other. What makes this
    : interesting is that neither store was
    : originally a Kroger. One was originally
    : and A&P Food Market and one was a
    : Harris Teeter. Both chains exited the
    : ATL market several years ago-both
    : stores still retain their original
    : exteriors and interiors-the only
    : difference is the Kroger logo replacing
    : the old signage. Have you seen a
    : similar occurance in your area with
    : your local chains?
