Doesn't Target support the woke LGBTQ+ homosexual Trans agenda? Why would I shop there?

Yes.

they have enough money to survive the holiday season. Lots of "activist investors.

Son, cant even understand them.

Whatever it takes to get you thru the day. Has been my experience that those who constantly brag about their intelligence and/or accomplishments have neither. As far as the "son" part, to have a son one must mate with a female and we both know you prefer the cream spitting meatsicle.

How many people shop at local grocery stores?

I rarely see a supermarket that’s locally owned and not a chain

---

The crazy thing about local supermarkets is that all of them have one thing in common. They all buy from one or two wholesalers that dictate pricing and sometimes coordinate sales pricing and advertising inserts.

My favorite is Associated Grocers in Baton Rouge, there are 2 or 3 local stores in my area that use them as their wholesaler, they run similar ads and sales, but are owned by different people. The sale prices are almost identical and run the same 3 day specials at all 3 locations. Like for instance this past weekend they had 10 lb. chubs of ground meat for 2.99 a pound.

As far as other wholesalers, the bigger one in the New Orleans area is AWG and they supply stores like Rouses, but Rouses is so large they handle their own marketing and sales pricing. Part of that dependence on a 3rd party wholesaler makes it difficult for a Publix or HEB if they wanted to take over the Rouses Grocery Empire in South Louisiana since they control their own distribuition. Now if Rouses dropped some coin and built an AWG sized wharehouse in the canefields by its headquarters that would a hub for some more expansion or a takeover.
