Grocery Store Anxieties

The brouhaha on Queen Anne is about a QFC taking over the space where the beloved Metropolitan Market is. And now I hear Albertson's in Green Lake is leaving -- probably due to today's news of its sale to SuperValu. No one knows whether a new market is coming into that spot, but it's highly likely that condos will be part of the equation, if not the whole equation. We live on Magnolia and have a choice of two markets -- Thriftway and Albertson's and if you count Interbay, it would also be QFC. We live closest to Albertson's, which is the lesser market, but hey, it's a market. And, if the takeover does happen, Now that Albertson's was sold, we can expect a new chain to come into Magnolia in a few years. Whoo-Hoo!
