Come on folks McKays isnt all that bad. The old timers in this county can remember back not so long ago when there was hardly a grocery store to be found except from the local folks, there was Woods, Mattingley's, McKays and IGA's. Maybe a A&P.
Theres been alot of folks moving down this way, that are use to Safeways and Giants. The Charlotte Hall McKays is probaby the oldest of all the grocery stores close to 30 years old. It does need to be replaced by modern equipment and a new building.
I heard it was a money thing with trying to obtain a loan and that is why the new store was a no go.
Im thinking the dirt lot where the store was going to go would be a ideal place for a Aldi. Wife started going to the one in Brandywine when it opened and I'd always tease her about shopping there. When it first opened for about first 2 or 3 months store was pretty empty of shoppers, I'd tell that this favorite new store of hers would not last. Well now Im the one eating crow, its gotten much busier and they are adding some more name brands.
We have bought meats and they all have been good, wife likes the veggie area and like picking up snacks for myself. Their gallon of milk is like $2.69 and its alot quicker to run in there and get, then to go to BJ's, Costco or Sams, show your card and walk to some far off corner to grab a gallon of milk. Maybe I could use the walk, to walk off some of calories from my goodies snacks I get at Aldi.
