Your shop-fu is weak my child.

Meijer, formerly MEIJER, formerly Meijer's Thrifty Acres, formerly Meijer's Grocery, has it in the coolers.

I think it was on sale last week(or so) to boot.

You never mentioned "in a pub"

Meijer is trying "becoming a bank". Err well trying to put banks in every Meijer.

They are also, trying "Real" Restaurants ala-Mall-Style, with entrances from the outside, open walled to Meijer as well.

Getting rid of the "purple cow" ice creams shops and doing the Baskin Robbins thing with external doors and open to Meijer. They tried TCBY, but really it didn't work out, I guess there isn't really much want for that product line. Baskin Robbins has a much wider variety of stuff.

Trying to change the Bakery/Deli area too. Making the Bakery a Dunkin Donuts (does the cakes and stuff too) in one Meijer for testing, Dunkin Donuts plus sharing sitting area with Baskin Robbins. They still have a Deli counter too, seems to have more variety, some very good stuff. Used to be the cheapest stuff they could find. Now, it seems to be on a few cents more (like american potato salad was $1.29/# now is $1.35/#. And tastes very good compared to the other stuff.

Meijer Gas Stations are now being remodeled and being coupled with SubWay or Wendy's

Meijer has been in a negative growth pattern for a coupla years, they are really trying to change that. So you never know, it might be a pub sometime soon.

Hmmm. Didn't realize that the subject line isn't long enough to show a full post URL...

Imric's Tips for Living

Paranoia Is a Survival Trait
Pessimists are never disappointed - but sometimes, if they are very lucky, they can be pleasantly surprised...
Even though everyone is out to get you, it doesn't matter unless you let them win.

Nothing is as simple as it seems in the beginning,
As hopeless as it seems in the middle,
Or as finished as it seems in the end.
