0% chance this model will work in that location! $.25 to rent a shopping cart is gonna go over well

These people must move slow. 15 months ago they got the property in Slidell and haven't done jack since.

That area isn't that bad. It's certainly not what it was 30 years ago.

Some credit union is building a decent sized headquarters right next to this.

My Manchester colleagues rave about this place!

I suppose I should acquire a blueprint to help prepare my shopping couriers

Likely waiting until they acquire enough land for stores in the region to build all at once. Cheaper to build and then cheaper to operate the stores with distribution costs down.

Maybe that area is improving. Used to be a good area, then bad, maybe the flood flushed a lot of the bad out.

“Discount” grocery store sounds like it would be more successful in a bad area

Went to one in upstate NY. Like shopping for food at a Dollar General, but even fewer people.

Aldi is a cheap German owned grocery store.
Sells mostly store brand stuff.
Cheap prices. Not a big variety

There are a few shitty apartments around there but still some middle class neighborhoods as well. It's perfectly fine during the day for the most part.

I lived in an apartment right near there on O'Neal during Katrina.

Good for them. Someone needs to be buying these distressed properties in the ghetto and fixing them

Very excited to have them here. I just wish it was going to be in a different location.

You get the quarter back, it's not really renting. More of placing a deposit you get back. I like it, helps make sure buggies are returned and not left rolling around the parking lot to hit a car.
