530 Grocery Stores in the area and nothing to eat in the house. How could that be. This new thing called self checkout is / is not working.

Schwegmanns is gone. Winn Dixie is bankrupt. Where do you buy some food? Walmart of course. They have everything. It's good, it's cheap, and you pay a price (lack of service, long lines, etc.) to buy it, but they don't care.

In Sept 2007 Rouses announced its plans to buy the A&P and SavACenter stores.

• Walmart
• Rouses
  
• Sav a Center (purchased by Rouses)
  
• Winn Dixie (bankrupt but operating)
• Breaux Mart (expanding)
  
• Langensteins
• Dorignacs
• Whole Foods
• Albertsons
• A&P (sold to Rouses)
  
• A few new Asian Markets have opened where they have entire aisles dedicated to incense, a good selection of woks, and lots of live fish in aquarium like cases.

And there are entries in the specialized category like:

• Martin Wine Cellar
• Foodies (gone)
