Grocers just can't compete with Amazon/Whole Foods & Publix.

It's more that too many of this type flooded our market too quickly. Something had to give.

Niche grocery markets are having a hard time competing. Just way too many if you think about it. Once Kroger pulled out of Lucky's last year, it was on life support until they couldnt operate no more.

We saw last year Native Sun close its doors.

Having a restaurant/cafe competent should improve margins.

Lucky's, Earthfare, and Sprouts are facsimiles, change my mind.
