I shopped at Brookshires yesterday only to find out that in March they are being bought out by Kroger. Now do not get me wrong, I like Kroger, but know I have 3 Krogers in my area and no other grocery to create competition AND no more triple coupons. I cannot tell you how many free items or really cheap things I have received from Brookshires.
Brookshires did offer all employees the opportunity to work at another store....out of state. Those who stay have no guarantee that Kroger will hire them. I just do not think this is good for anyone.

My local grocery store (which is HORRIBLE) used to offer one day per week of triple coupons. That's the only day I really wanted to shop there and when they stopped that day, I stopped going there totally. I do like Kroger a lot - hassle free when it comes to couponing - PLUS you can top your paper coupons with Cellfires and get free items that way too. :) The only downfall for me is it's a 20 min. drive each way. Can't win them all!
The only competition we have around here is Food Lion and Walmart. Kroger is our main store though and we have at least a dozen near me.
At least they double coupons which FL doesn't. And they employee my kid so it's not all bad. :)
