Seems Roanoke has received a rezoning request at the old Kroger store at the corner of orange and king. They will demolish the old building and build a new one (42,000 sqft) with 6 island fuel center.. Kroger confirmed its not them. Ideas or hopes on who it will be?

Hopes- Martin's, Trader Joe's, Wegmans
Ideas (more likely)- Super Dollar Discount Foods (there is already one in Vinton with a fuel center), or Food City

Fuel rules out Trader Joe's. Wegmans remains a pipe dream for Roanoke.

Maybe a Neighborhood Store, but not a Super Center. Way too close to the Bonsack location.

It sounds like a budget type grocery store, I believe a thrift store is opening at that center also. Trader Joes is a perfect fit for Roanoke, any room at Towers?

Looks like there may be up to three grocery stores opening up now. My bet is on Food City.

I saw that in the Roanoke times. Do we need 3 more of any store like Kroger? A trader Joes or whole foods is needed. But not 3 food city stores. IMO

Wal-Mart Neighborhood market. Similar size, same offerings, and have entered other markets in similar fashion. Three are opening in Greenville, NC- one is very close to an existing superstore.

Could be... The hatch group which is over one or two of the properties works with Walmart. As well as whole foods.. I think whole foods is a dream, but I can hope right?
