re: Kroger / Rouses rumor?

Rouses major business is not visible to the retail consumer...it's in marine provisioning. So don't worry about them being bought out any time soon.

Well I don't worry too much what other family businesses do. But I do know plenty of big conglomerates throw incredible money to various businesses which would be hard to pass up especially with many family members involved. Whether it is Rouses or not I don't know nor do I care.

I would say if someone like Kroger or Publix were looking for acquisitions Rouses has positioned themselves to be very attractive for top dollar.
