I didn't know they were owned by Kroger until actually setting foot inside one a couple of years ago. When I saw the Kroger brand products, I made the connection.

I have to stay away from it, though because I'm guaranteed to spend an hour on it every time!<BR/><BR/>Tomcat - I've seen the Food4Less stores in L.A. and had no idea they were in Chicago. Thanks! <BR/><BR/>Steven - The same thing, very cool!I wonder what the original signage looked like.<BR/><BR/>Didi - The thing was absolutely huge and would probably have had to be scaled down to work on a store location. Unless it was in California, where huge and outrageous (i.e.: the kind I like)signs were the norm!Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07788722183424550052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1033289293807518844.post-72894083734672813592008-08-01T03:52:00.000-05:002008-08-01T03:52:00.000-05:00Congrats, Dave!
