    Maybe they shouldn't have had that interchange under construction for 4 million years, along with making it no re-entry. The last time I tried it I couldn't get back on 70. Went right by it from then on. Somebody somewhere thought they were doing something there, but they weren't, they were undoing it.

    Bob Evans went straight down hill! I don't know when...but I went 2 months ago with my kids and was like yea OK. I didn't know it sold to some non food passionate investor group. Later Bob Evans you now suck like most of Bryers ice cream (Thanks Lever Brothers) and countless other formerly great products. Everything has been moved/bought/shifted/cheapened/shrank to hide the fact that the dollar is less valuable.

    I read all labels super carefully now more than ever and have zero brand loyalty these days. That is what they are counting on....your loyalty to a name brand.

    The localist Bob Evans to me has a really good coney island across the road (sorta) that has better food, lower prices, and bigger portions, yet the Bob Evans is always packed on weekend mornings. Always blows my mind.

    I always try to avoid any chain like that. I like to support the local businesses, and they are almost always better.

    Our grocery stores don't have quite "everything" so I have to go to other places, but when ever I have to do big grocery shopping that's where I go to our GFS Market Place Stores.

    On the other hand though, does Supervalue? Own Grocery Stores or just do warehousing and distribution for Grocery Store Chains? Or is it a little bit of both?

    They have corporate owned stores, but the majority of their business is wholesale. 90% of the work in my DC is delivering independently owned stores.
