Rumor has it that the old Sunflower Market at the Campus Gateway will have some new occupants coming this summer. According to the rumor CB Richard Ellis will lease the shell of a grocery store to either Giant Eagle or Kroger. I know what you’re thinking, logistically that makes no sense since there are already Giant Eagles and Krogers just under a mile North and South of the Gateway. However, the plan is that either Giant Eagle or Kroger will develop a boutique grocery store to occupy the old Sunflower Market. I imagine the boutique concept will emulate the growing phenomena of organic and farmer’s market grocery stores flooding the nation.
Anyone seen this over at columbusING? I tried looking for a thread on this already, as this was from a post a few weeks ago, but couldnt find one. I personally think this is a great idea more for Giant Eagle than for Kroger, just because the Kroghetto is SO close to SCG and they are planning to invest in/expand that store. Plus, Giant Eagle also has two smaller-store concepts operating, whereas i'm not sure that Kroger has any. So, anyone think we have a chance of landing one of their market district stores or a giant eagle express?
