Our go to grocery store here in Klamath Falls is a Fred Meyer, a Kroger brand store. Because of our previous relationship in Aiken with an actual Kroger, we fit right in. Didn’t even have to get a new loyalty card. Over the last couple of months they have been updating the store, they’ve refreshed the outside paint, added a Starbucks, totally revamped the Pharmacy, updated the interior signage, etc.
Of course the biggest thing was updating the shelving which involved moving all the items from one place and temporarily placing them in seemingly random spots around the store. Then this stuff was placed back somewhat near where they were, but not always. This constant shuffling made our weekly shopping grocery shopping trip an adventure to say the least.
On yesterday’s shopping trip it seems like they are getting pretty close to finishing up shuffling around the twenty-nine thousand grocery items in the place. Now have to finish up updating the the clothing, shoes, garden, electronics and hardware sections, but at least those won’t directly effect our weekly trips on Thursdays.
On the way home from Fred Meyers the new, to us, Mini shuffled past the 29,000 mile mark.
