When I lived in Enid (97-98), the Homeland was actually pretty good — but when I lived in MWC (83-86), I was too young and wild to really care about grocery stores. Heh.

If you got one within 10 miles, Crest is the way to go. I will admit to using the Homeland store that is closer to my house when I need only one or two items.

Crest is cheap, clean, they bag your groceries, and they have a kick ass meat/deli section. My four year old swears by the fresh cut pepperoni.

They have about 50 percent of the grocery biz here.

I’m surprised WalMart doesn’t just OWN the supermarket biz by now.

Well, I wonder what they are going to replace the Yukon one with. Homeland already has a store 2 mi from the Albertsons and it is a newer building than the Albertsons. Just curious now.

I still hold a grudge because Albertson’s bought out the Lucky chain that I grew up with in NorCal. And then they (1) closed many of their existing Albertson’s stores and (2) reopened the Lucky stores as Albertson’s stores, and after just a few years (3) withdrew from the market entirely while simultaneously (4) suing a local mom-and-pop for trying to use the by-then-defunct (but apparently not abandoned) Lucky name.

If they were trying to get on my bad side, they couldn’t have done a better job.

So they are replacing a nice over-priced store with a crappy over-priced store. hmmmm

I’ll miss the chicken. I won’t miss the high prices. When you charge 40-50% more than Crest or Wal-Mart for the same item, the Okie market will not keep buying from you.
