Hopefully Kroger improves the brand.

I don't live far from one but I never shop there. Nothing against them, I just don't have a reason to.

Personally although this is off topic, I also prefer HEB to Krogers (whom I visited frequently in ATL when I live there.) .. I guess I can see the issue being debated in the other thread when it comes to lacking brand diversity when that is important to someone but I guess I never really cared about it.

I hardly ever go to Randall's, unless it's to vote. Their prices are too high compared to HEB to justify shopping there. You could use one of their membership cards and get cheaper prices more comparable to HEB but the card is just one more thing to keep track of.

I wonder if the Randalls cards can be used at Krogers and Shell fuel stations. Krogers had a partnership with Shell where you could use their points fuel discounted fuel. Gift Cards gave anywhere from double to 5x the fuel points. I used to load up on gift cards for my favorite restaurnts that I would eat at for the week and accrue fuel points and basically pay nothing for gasoline.

you dont need a card, but you then have to enter your phone number when you pay.

My honest opinion about Randall’s, Tom Thumbs and all Albertsons companies is that they’re fake luxury. false gourmet. They’re expensive for no reason. That’s why I hope they all turn to Krogers.

not for no reason. Being expensive means the stores are less crowded and they dont run out of things. I dont feel like randalls is luxurious at all.

HEB parking is a pain, the checkout lines are long, and lots of stuff can be gone from the shelves.

Was that their real intention though? Randalls kind of reminded me of a smaller version of Publix in some ways. It felt like it was intended to be an upscale supermarket.
