On the other hand, today's State Journal has anecdotes about what shoppers Tuesday think about the Kohl's/Copp's deal. Here are some quotes: "The handful of Kohl's shoppers questioned outside the University Avenue store said they do most of their main grocery shopping elsewhere and use the Kohl's store for daily, quick stop shopping, they said." "Beth Ross, of Madison, said she likes shopping at the Whitney Way Copps store "because the people are very pleasant and the food quality is very good." Ross, a West Side resident, said the store is convenient." "It is close and it is less hassle than those bigger stores," Diericks said. So although they aren't saying the words, these people all appreciate a neighborhood grocery store. Especially when they just need a few things. Not one person mentioned "price" as an issue. Only the reporter brought up that point after doing a price comparison between Copp's and Kohl's.

Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has." -- Margaret Mead _______________________________________________ Bikies mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.danenet.org/mailman/listinfo/bikies
