Kroger has botched its other ex-H-Ts, even without other Kroger's nearby. The Fresh Fare prototype at Edgewood is still far from being close to what H-T was able to do in Atlanta. --Previous Message--

: 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?
:
: The former Harris-Teeter does not seem
: to be doing as well as the former
: A&P. The exterior architecture and
: store layout was very close to mid-90's
: Krogers, but the interior decor is
: still very much the scheme used in Food
: Emporium. Cherokee Plaza is a rebuild,
: one of the last A&P's to be built
: in Atlanta, the old A&P had
: Centennial architecture and a
: pressed-tin ceiling. Eckerd was a
: tenent of Cherokee Plaza before moving
: to a stand-alone nearer to
: Harris-Teeter. Harris-Teeter had a
: concierge, wine steward and procured
: game meat-offerings Kroger has
: eliminated or cut back on. Kroger took
: over the A&P after the chain exited
: Georgia in 1999 and got the
: Harris-Teeter when H-T left in the late
: part of 2000. H-T was acquired to
: protect market share and most redundent
: locations were shuttered. The former
: H-T would be a good cadidate for Kroger
: Fresh Fare, but will probably close at
: a future date.
