I’ve been a little sick. Sorry for sounding all clogged up this week
I’m pretty sad about Cuba Cafe. I was just about to go there and didn’t realize they had closed already. I was really excited to have some more diversity in eateries in Cincinnati.
The whole big box thing is even worse than you two put it on the air. Often times these stores not only build new just to abandon their worthless building down the street, but they regularly have no-compete contracts of sort. So when Kroger closed its store on Harrison Avenue in Green Township and opened less than a mile down the road, they then refuse to lease the space to anyone of their competitors. I would imagine the same thing held true for the space on Glenway when Kroger moved right across the street. Target has now moved in, but it’s my understanding it’s not a Super Target with groceries that will compete against Kroger.
So of the very few tenants that could move in and use these spaces, they are often blocked from doing so. It’s the ultimate sign of disrespect for a community.
Good point, Randy. I’ve heard that a similar thing may be happening in Bellevue, Kentucky. Once the new Newport Pavilion Kroger Marketplace opens, the smaller Bellevue store may shut down or reduce hours. Since there is an exclusivity contract with the Bellevue location, they won’t be able to attract another full-time grocery store to serve the residents.
