1.  You sound really angry.
2.  You keep using the word "shills."  It's distinctive (and distinctively obnoxious).
3.  Do YOU think that GDS insisted on a clause in its deal with Safeway barring it from a particular form of retail?  Why are you picking fights over something that is a common sense conclusion?  Obviously the grocery store doesn't want to sell its land only to have it turned around and sold/leased to a competitor.
4.  See #1, above.[/quote]

If the store was unprofitable, as some have suggested, then why would Safeway care that another store come in its place?[/quote]

Okay, just to humor you, here's one reason: if you were a corporate suit at Safeway, and had to explain for years all the limitations on your store in Location X that made it not terribly profitable, you would not want your boss asking you why the Giant or Harris Teeter at Location X was going gangbusters.  Easy and safe for them to CYA by putting in a clause that the location can't be used for a grocery store.

Here's another reason -- Safeway has nearby stores and prefers not to dilute their market share with a competitors' store in this location.[/quote]
