Is that the Rita Weaver nut who went off in the Board of Ed meeting a ways back? Or am I misthinking that.McKay's grocery store in Leonardtown to close soon

He’s blaming the Giant and food lion stores that have been here longer than his takeover of the Leonardtown Superfresh?McKay's grocery store in Leonardtown to close soon

I can’t imagine the capital lost on wildewood, great mills, then buying the leases of shoppers in San Souci and Waldorf. Say adios to this once great county store

It always pays to shop at McKays!”This man is a senior citizen and seems to have no self awareness of his own incompetence, he ruined the company his parents built. There has been no invasion of the mega stores, heck I remember Safeway being in a Lexington Park in the 70s! He needed a strong spouse like Nancy or Melania to steer him clear of his neuroses, nope, he’s starting newspapers and running for office.

Personally I think he is a turd, but Walmart, Aldi and on the higher end Harris Teeter are all new competition that they never could compare to.He’s blaming the Giant and food lion stores that have been here longer than his takeover of the Leonardtown Superfresh?

The Leonardtown store was their best and it sucks against Giant and HT.

I would bet that the Walmart store has more shrink than McKays does in business.
The company that owns Shoppers has said for years they are exiting the retail store business, that’s why the stores are closing. The Shoppers brand is slowly dying, intentionally.
I have a hard time understanding why anyone would get in to the grocery store business. The profit margins are pitifully small, meaning that every little detail of the business has to be managed to a really fine degree. It's always amazing to see the competitors in that business space fighting for the scraps like they do.

I know the margins are small, but one of the richest people I know is an owner/operator of a grocery franchise. It isn't in MD so they do have a license to sell beer, their old store also sold liquor (formerly Giant Eagle, now Save-a-Lot).

I'd say that's safe to say, WM did about $100k in cash on a weekend day, cash.
The Charlotte Hall and Hollywood McKays are the only grocery stores in the county allowed to sell beer, wine, and liquor. I’m sure that’s the only reason those are being kept afloat.
I don’t know many businesses that survive being run by the second generation, rarely do they have the same passion as their parents who started it. Gotta get the ego out of the way and sell.
The Save-a-Lot back home is not much to look at. Small store... originally an A&P. The shipping boxes with cans, bags, or boxes go on the shelf. They do have their own butchers in the back though, and their meat prices are very good compared to Martin's (which is under the Giant umbrella).
And look at his campaign signs - "Leadership the RIGHT way" Oh yeah you lead McKays the right way, right into the ground. Sure lets run for commissioner president and see where you lead St Marys County, I dont think so, not my vote!He’s blaming the Giant and food lion stores that have been here longer than his takeover of the Leonardtown Superfresh?

Was in the Hollywood one today and it looks better organized and like they had more food. Not good by any means and I only saw 3 employees working however.
