Some rumors I heard this week:
1. The Genuardi’s in Kennett Square is in fact going to be transformed over to a Giant. They will keep both Kennett Square locations open.
2. The people at Giant have taken over the lease of the old Acme in New Garden, to prevent any other grocers from coming in. One member of the Smart Spending Spot team has seen a bunch of activity at the location, mainly dry wall being hauled in. Guess we’ll have to wait & see what it is.
3. I was informed that in a few weeks, the price of the Sunday News Journal is going up to $3 a week. This particular person (a vendor) was told “They’re going after the Extreme Couponers.” So, it appears that only couponers are buying newspapers anymore, so charge them more?? Yeah, makes a TON of sense–people that want to save money, charge them more. All the more reason to buy the Daily Local instead–both papers carry both SS and Red Plum.
