Frosty Posted July 25, 2019 Share Posted July 25, 2019 I went to my local Kroger after I got out of work last night. My wife wanted me to pick up some sandwich items. In the parking lot I see they had just finished a BBQ. Yup, they were apparently serving flambe Chevrolet ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey I see there is a Chevy dealership right there, maybe it was a fire sale! 😁 Speaking of Kroger, they left Northeast Ohio about 40 years ago! Makes no sense, as the company is from Cincinnati Oh.😮 go figure? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frosty Posted July 26, 2019 Author Share Posted July 26, 2019 Kroger has a checkered past in this next of the woods too. In 1981 and 1982, Kroger closed its stores in Corunna, Saginaw, and then Flint because the poor economy in the area at the time and it could not reach agreement with the store(s)' food union(s). A local Hamady executive named Al Kessel bought the stores and re-opened them as non-union stores and stocked them with many Kroger brand items. A lot of people felt or saw this as outright union busting (it wasn't but one can see how you can draw that conclusion). Kessel Food stores were picketed by the food unions on and off since 1991 until 1999 when Kessel sold his stores to either Kroger or he converted a small number of them to Sav-A-Lot.
