  1. So, splitting off from this topic which was before the Albertsons/Safeway merger--the facts are laid out... - If what Swamplot said was true, the Houston division of Safeway doesn't exist anymore and was merged with Dallas (former Tom Thumb). - Randalls and Albertsons are now under a common ownership. - A new Albertsons did open in Denham Springs, LA a few years ago. - In its 15 or so years under Safeway, the Randalls name has gotten tainted, but is irredeemable? What I want to know is, do you think that a grocery store under the Albertsons name (a former Randalls) would work in Houston, even as a single Randalls test trial? Do you think that the new company can turn around the Randalls name? Or do you think they should cut their losses and dump the Houston market entirely whether by selling Randalls to private investors or divesting the stores?
  2. I understand that Lewis & Coker ran grocery stores next to Kmart and they disappeared a long time ago, but how were they? Were they any good, did they go out of business or bought up, and when did this all happen? It seems that L&C were all gone by the late 1980s.
  3. Not sure what to make of the vague description but it seems like Midtown will be getting a new bar in about 9 months... http://blogs.houstonpress.com/eating/2011/04/openings_closings_28.php http://swamplot.com/a-midtown-beer-bar-is-born/2011-04-01/
  4. I'm curious of former Safeway/AppleTree Markets in Houston. I'm pretty sure that Safeway did take some of the older Weingarten's locations (1955 list of Weingarten's locations found here). The only one I'm 99% sure of is the Little York location (northeast corner of 290 and Little York)--it looks similar to an old Safeway/AppleTree location in Bryan, and I'm sure it was both a Safeway and AppleTree at one point. Anyone have more information?
  5. Fire seems to be located to the exterior of the Kirby store for now. The store has been evacuated.
  6. Has anybody heard anything on the grocery store that is to open on the first floor of One Park Place? I see the large section being worked on everyday.
  7. Does anyone go to CM’s Hatch Chili Festival, or anyone else’s? This is the first year we have done so. Hatch peppers only come out once a year for about two weeks at the end of August. We normally buy about 15 or so pounds of them and roast them on the grill. This year we bought a whole case, and CM roasted them on the spot in a large drum with a propane burner. I love Hatch peppers, and Michelle makes a great Green Chili Stew with them. It is chock full of melt-your-mouth goodness! Any other Hatch lovers out there. Anyone going to Central Market this weekend, or next?
  8. Does anyone remember Jamail's Grocery Store? I think it was on Kirby. My brother used to work there in the late 80s/early 90s when he was a student at Lamar.
  9. Does anyone have a photo of Weingarten's grocery store showing their sign?
  10. As reported in the Chronicle: (link) It seems excessive, but then I feared this would happen when I watched all the customers head to HEB.
