Did they give any further details? I think Costco is more likely than a Kroger.

She did not... I guess it should be taken with an EXTREME grain of salt, but still not something I'd want to hear...

I would not be surprised to see Kroger re-enter markets in southern Georgia if it plans to enter Florida. It could open Marketplace hypermarket stores to go up against Publix and Walmart. It could cause Winn-Dixie to close stores and exit markets.

Why wouldn't they? Walmart Marketplace and Aldi have recently. Fresh Market not long ago.

An article in today's Ledger-Enquirer about the new neighborhood markets coming...
Quote:
The Bentonville, Ark.-based retailer also confirmed yet another Wal-Mart Neighborhood Market is being built at 4909 Buena Vista Road in east Columbus. That's on top of two more of the smaller-format grocery stores already under construction on Blackmon Road and Manchester Expressway, as well as a supercenter off Victory Drive, all in Columbus.

Here are the opening dates and estimated timelines of each store that Wal-Mart is bringing to Columbus:

- Neighborhood market, Blackmon Road off J.R. Allen Parkway in Columbus -- opens Jan. 15

- Neighborhood market, Manchester Expressway adjacent to Columbus Technical College -- opens Jan. 15

- Neighborhood market, U.S. Highway 280 near Woodland Drive in Phenix City -- opens Jan. 20

- Neighborhood market, Buena Vista Road near Floyd Road in Columbus -- tentatively set to open in mid-April

- Supercenter, Benning Drive off Victory in Columbus -- late 2016 or early 2017

The 158,583-square-foot supercenter on Benning Drive had previously been projected to open by next summer. Wal-Mart on Friday did not say why the project has been pushed back six months or longer, although construction did start later than originally anticipated by developers.

If the year and 1/2 you mentioned was correct then we will probably hear something by the end of this year.
