OT Kroger Merging With Albertson's

[bigbailes]

HEB is superior to Freds, Safeway, and Albertsons.

And the B stands for Butt!

meh ... it's a fine store but give me Freddies any day of the week ... at least before it was sold out!

I already never shop at Fred Meyer or Safeway. This will just make me not shop there even more.

WINCO FTW.

WINCO is like a more palatable Walmart to me where their produce and meat are suspect but everything else is good ... though they did get me on the no credit card thing when I was up there last fall!

Zupan’s for all the good stuff you can’t get at Fred’s, Safeway, etc. Outstanding meat, produce and deli departments. Pricey but worth it.

I do remember Zupan's in West Linn when I worked for Thriftway in Lake O. Nice store.

Meanwhile, we have The Fresh Markets here. Mmmmm!!

The West Linn Zupan's has been gone for more than a few years. It is currently a Walmart (so un-West Linn like). Basically, the West Linn Zupan's replaced the Wizer's in Lake Grove when the Wizer family sold out.

Herb Wizer. They sure did have great wines!

I knew old man Wizer when he ran the produce department at the Food Center grocery store which he later bought and then moved across 'A' avenue and renamed Wizer's. It was my favorite grocery store in Oswego and later Lake Oswego. In my very early youth we only had two grocery stores, Safeway on First street and 'B' avenue and the Food Center on 'A' avenue and first avenue.
I'm pretty sure ABM and HomerLovesKoolaid are too young to know that. I remember the old Oswego/Lake Oswego vividly. I'll bet I know as much history of that place as anyone and more than 99.9% of people who live or have lived there and I'm very proud of those memories.
