      Maybe… it definitely doesn’t have the presence it did in Florida. In Florida I would see the trucks everywhere.

      Here in Texas it’s just HEB and Walmart

        Florida has no Kroger stores and hasn’t in decades.

        Kroger set up a couple large warehouses in Florida that they did delivery only from as some kind of test market. It was actually cheap and reliable. Unfortunately they announced a few weeks ago that they’re shutting it down in January. I suspect they were undercutting prices to build market share and weren’t making much money.

        Also Kroger is absolutely in Texas, but only in the Houston/Dallas/northeast areas. Bizarrely Dallas doesn’t really have HEB (but apparently they are slowly moving in)

        But yeah as someone who currently lives in Florida but grew up in Texas I miss HEB. Publix doesn’t come close.
