I shop the Randalls on Louisiana and Kroger on Montrose when I am in town, I really don't see a lot of price difference but I do think that the "Safeway Select" brands are higher quality than the comparable Kroger or HEB house products. I would hate to see the Louisiana store close for that reason. Another thought on the same subject. If Safeway pulls the plug I think that Walmart's Neighborhood Markets would be a natural fill in for a lot those boxes. Htx
