A New Front In The Grocery Wars

Harris Teeter is underway. Wegman's won't be long. And we meant to pass along this bit of news way back when -- The folks at Giant over in Owen Brown aren't planning to sit on their hands.

This from the minutes of the Owen Brown Village Board:

Keith Speed, General Manager and Mary Fincham, Customer Service Manager Giant
Food Owen Brown Village Center were present to speak with the Board regarding
various issues in the community. Mr. Speed reported that the store would be having a
major remodel in February 2008 with the addition of a Starbucks, expansion of the deli
and a layout change. The construction should take about 12 weeks and will not change
the footprint of the structure.
