A Not too Glowing Report about Whole Foods Troubles. It seems less "upscale" grocery chains like Kroger, WalMart can offer
Organic products at a lower price?

They were close once, why not again!?

However, it won't be for years, if ever.

I don't think it will be a long time... maybe around the opening of the new VV interchange?
