[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Folks in Palisades like their "village in the city" and don't want it to become another Van Ness or Friendship Heights.[/quote] Villages should have a grocery store though.[/quote] Safeway wants you to drive to Georgetown and back the SUV up for a 15 bag order.[/quote] I don't think their mega-store in Georgetown has had quite the traffic Safeway anticipated when they built it, so closing smaller stores is one way to drive customers to it. It's strange how these large grocers, with their newer big box-fits-all models, don't quite get the city consumer. A lot of folks around here shop like little ol' European ladies, going (sometimes walking or jogging) to the grocery store more frequently for fresher food and smaller orders. They want to get in, get what they want and get out quickly and find the 60,000 or 70,000 sq ft exurb sized stores offputting for their purposes.[/quote]
