Kroger bought out Harris Teeter here in NC, which was much bigger than Rouses.

Not much has changed. The local "flagship" store has a bar in the middle where you can get growlers of craft beer and pints. Also aged steaks, fresh sushi, and whatnot. I'm sure they would use the same concept for current Rouses in good areas. They'd probably even keep the rouses name, like they did Harris teeter, and won't rebrand.

The transition at the Drusilla store is a cluster. You can usually count on hearing at least three employees standing by the door bitching, the shelves aren't consistently stocked, items in the circular aren't in the store, the liquor section is smaller than most Rouses, and the produce doesn't compare.

I never shopped at LeBlanc's, but love(d) Rouses. They should have slowed the change over until they could make it a real Rouses.

Strangely, I saw exactly the opposite when Rouses came to New Orleans (carcass of Sav-a-Lot) and Mobile (the truly flammable Delchamps-Brunos-Belle debacle). But the bar was really low.
