Good News
Locally, we lost a ton of supermarket outlets when Kohl's closed it's food stores a few months ago. Fortunately, now Pick n' Save (a huge, low priced supermarket similar to Albertson's in Carlifornia) has decided to open up stores in 7 of the former Kohl's locations in the Milwaukee area.Two decisions confuse me, and one decision is a particularly good one.
First, they decided NOT to open a store at the former Kohl's location on 124th and North avenue on the upper-upper middle class border of Wauwatosa and Brookfield. I find that strange as the nearest store is actually a Pick n' Save, but it is quite a distance away on 124th and Capitol.
Second, they decided to open up a store at the former Kohl's location on Van Buren avenue in downtown Milwaukee, even though the huge east town Pick n' Save is jus t 2 blocks away! They plan to keep BOTH stores open. I don't know how well this well this will work out. I'd hate to see a business fail twice at the same location because it may scare off further development in the area.
