This is the first that I've heard about the store going into foreclosure.
Granted, I don't get down there that often, but I don't mind shopping there. In the summer, especially when Strawberries are in season, they do have the best berries around. They are local produce and so much better than what you can find in the chain grocery stores. Unfortunately for me, the berries sell out before I can get down there.
As far as the gas pumps go, that was a disservice to the Ridge community I think. The closest gas pumps now are the Rod and Reel on the 235 side, and Cook's on the 5 side. They should have kept the pumps-might have brought in more business.

I'm not exactly sure about the whole gas pump situation but I think if for whatever reason the store did end up back with the Raleys, they would put them back in. Apparently it's a big sore spot with people down there. . . So maybe that it what did them in after all. . .

You're sorely mistaken. I've had one MPD EVER. The Tennysons are of no relation.
I wasn't implying YOU were the MPD, just that you were the board mommy..
I just wanted you to get a PM and say "WTF are you bothering me for!?"

Seeing how the oil company pulled out the pumps and dug out the storage tanks, who would you suggest foot the bill to have it all put back in??
I doubt the oil company will seeing as they weren't making enough profit (any?) to make it worthwhile to have them there in the first place.
And I doubt the grocery store can absorb the cost.. or they'd already have new pumps there.

There's an elephant in the room that no one is mentioning. It's called "Wal*Mart Supercenter!"
It's almost done and online, so you can bet the local grocery stores are gonna be hurting...
Heck, cereal that we pay $4 for in Food Lion is in there for $2.78...
In fact, I'd consider you downright brave to even go in the grocery store business having had to have had at least some clue they might open one up here, which they ultimately did...

I never said for sure that they would put the pumps back in but I do know that it was discussed. Just answering a question with the information that I had. . .

There's a "For Sale" sign on a big old rusty tractor.
You can't miss it, it's the first thing that you see.
Just up the road, a pale-blue water tower,
With "I Love Jenny" painted in bright green.
Hey, that's my Uncle Bill, there by the courthouse.
He'll be lowerin' the flag when the sun goes down.
And this is my town.

I've lived through this once before.. they come in with a supercenter, cut the prices on almost EVERYTHING in the grocery section to be well below the competition.. run the weakest out of business, then bring their prices more inline with the competition..

I still don't understand this thing. I don't know if you saw our other discussion over in the financial wing, but from all appearances, the business license never lefts Raley's name, so how is it that they were the owners?

Not sure about or why the business license issue. I do know that they are in foreclosure and I believe the Raley's are holding the note.

I saw the editorial but no article.Just wondering if anybody saw the article in the Enterprise today about the issues going on at Raley's in Ridge? I read it and know for a fact some of what was said was not true.
A new saga begins. . . .

It was the oil company's decision to remove the pumps not the Tennysons, right? I remember seeing an article about it at the time they were being removed.
