The Richmond MSA would consist of (I'm assuming) Richmond City, Henrico County, Hanover County, Chesterfield County, Goochland County, and the county Petersburg is in (the name escapes me), and maybe Caroline County. The Richmond MSA consists of the independent cities (not in a county) of Richmond,...

...The one thing I noticed though economically was that even new areas have succumbed to white flight, and it seems a growing poverty problem. I visited Virginia Center Commons (I was at this mall when it opened in the early 90's). For a Saturday night, it was extremely quiet through most of the ma...

Re: Pantry Pride in Richmond, VA
Great info. Thanks. I think some companies have the same problem that some people do with Richmond. They don't know quite how to read it. Is it southern? Is it northern? Is it decaying? Is it thriving? I, for one, love cities that defy easy categorization. There was a slogan for RIchmond, "Dow...

Pantry Pride in Richmond, VA
I was doing a little digging in the web archives of the Richmond Times-Dispatch regarding Pantry Pride. I had said elsewhere in the forum (under "Greocery Stores in Real Malls" that Food Fair had had five Richmond locations that became Pantry Pride. What I didn't realize or remember was th...

... Almost every chain could learn a thing or 2 from Ukrop's. Actually, they do study them pretty often - whether they learn anything is another matter. The stores near me that I go to most often represent their three newest prototypes. From time to time. you can see the Ukrop's managers giving tou...

Food Club (now, anyway), is a trademark of Topco. which is a cooperative distributor owned by a bunch of markets (like Ukrop's, Harris-Teeter, Schnuck's, Raley's, Meijer, Weis, Acme, ShopKo, Bashas', Bi-Lo, Piggly Wiggly Carolina, etc.). Publix isn't one of the Topco group per the topco.com website,...

Steve, have you tried looking at various newspaper archives online? Although most only go back a little way and charge for full articles, some don't charge for articles and some go far back (I've seen 1903). I use a site that contains links to all of the newspaper and television station websites, ar...

In Richmond, we had Greatlands as the first Target entry into the market. They recently built a new Target near me, so my choices are now regular and Greatlands I suppose. The new store has one entrance, but the layouts, though similar in some ways, differ enough so that it takes a little effort to ...
