Fresh & Easy begins closing down stores

[SoapBox]

2. I loved Fresh & Easy.

They opened one just a couple minutes away. It was unique and the employees were energetic.

Eventually you could tell that the higher management was letting the business slide, along with bits and pieces the staff would discretely talk about. Still it was beyond convienent and saved me from driving further, to fight my way to Albertson's or Ralph's.

My store was one closed in the first big wave of closures...and now this. Too bad.

Then our Alberton's was involved in the Haagen deal...now, that store will most likely close.

Our options are fewer than they have ever been.

Terrible.
