I occasionally shop at two Haggens stores that were previously Albertsons. The prices are higher. In the evening about 7:00pm there are more employees than customers in the store. People are price sensitive about food. The Ralphs down the road are doing fine.
They also had the workers sign a 1 year non compete clause so they could not even get a job at another grocery store!
This would be a great reason for a class action suit, and I can see someone like Trumka of the Service Employee Union going after them on it.
Also, sounds like an Obamacare issue where Haggens doesn’t want to be paying into Obamacare.
