In the Sat Sun GT in The News....

Where will it be?

Grand Terrace -- The suspense is building.

British retailer Tesco is opening dozens of Fresh & Easy Neighborhood Markets in California and several in the Inland Empire. One of those speciality grocery stores is slated to come to Grand Terrace. But exactly where is a mystery.

Officials say there are two likely locations for a Fresh & Easy, both at Barton Road and Mount Vernon Avenue. One possible spot is the southwest corner in the Stater Bros. shopping center in the Stater Bros. shopping center. The other is the northwest corner behind Starbucks Coffee.

Gramps's Note:

The GrandTerraceNews reported this weeks ago. It is interesting that Stepen Wall does not Name his source "Officials"... he is normally glad to drop the Name of Tom Schwab or Steve Berry. Perhaps his Official Source was the Blog. One thing is for sure there is no information in his article than that offered by the blog. Whoops actually there is less information the blog provided the location and for lease offers on both properties. The blog has looked up all information as to ownership of the property, and businesses being sold and offered for sale in Grand Terrace. The impact of one location over another is significant to the community of family businesses in Grand Terrace.

Small modestly profitable businesses, generate sustainability for a community, providing local employment for youth, adults, parents and business owners, while limiting the commute time away from community and home and family.

Local Employment, sufficient for providing an income sufficient to live in a community should be a goal. Increasing the lease cost or property cost of a business or home frustrates that circle of sustainability. Surrendering us to Real Estate / Banking Speculations, and Outside the Community Employment in order to sustain living in this Over Priced Valued Community.

I welcome the competition of Tesco's Fresh and Easy Stores. I hope that they increase and buy local produce and products. This is something that Stater Brothers is not doing. Have you tried to find products that are low in salt, and Free of Fructose in Stater Brothers?
