Giant Food Stores to buy 16 Philadelphia-area Genuardi's markets

[PRETZEL]

4. Two of the ones closing are close to me

Royersford and Jeffersonville. The Jeffersonville store was one of the first ones they started.

And yes, when the Genuardi family owned it, you could certainly see a difference in the way they treated their customers but as newer generations of family members came in you could see a change. They just didn't put the money into their stores the same way others were.

So, now it's the super stores. I like Giant and their store brands aren't bad for the price. It will be interesting to see how the two Giant stores that compete with Wegman's will fare.
