I saw a couple crates of used vinyl at a supermarket in Birmingham and it freaked me out.

Well, I guess by freaked me out I really mean raised an eyebrow.

There's a supermarket on Portland?

It's awesome that they interviewed Cathy from 2nd Avenue for this. She's probably the best person you could quote on the subject in the whole city.

Isn't Fred Meyer all up Kroger's thong?
Fred Meyer has always wanted to be the PacNW Wal*Mart, no?
Not to try to burst bubbles here, but...

Fred Meyer has been around, and doing the big box megastore thing decades before Walmart existed.

ah, so Fred Meyer is a *seminal* megaoutlet store. RWTD. \m/\m/

yeah, basically
I probably sound hella provincial right now.

where does Costco/Kirkland brand fit in the timeline?
― Mackro Mackro, Wednesday, 11 June 2008 07:26 (eighteen years ago)
Not established until 1983, apparently. Their format is pretty different to Freddy's, though. More public wholesaler than grocery+department. I guess Walmart falls somewhere in between.

Man, I remember when the Fred Meyer's in Albany added a Burger King inside it in about 1980. I was horrified that my local supermarket had sold out.
