Couple of maybe three years ago, I was visiting Savannah. Went into Krogers for some reason. While inside, I could smell food cooking. Came out with a fried chicken plate. Probably the best chicken I've ever eaten.
Years ago, there was a fried chicken joint a few miles up the road. He cooked his fried chicken under pressure. If you asked for a two piece dinner, he would throw three or four pieces on your plate. He was a Great guy and cooked Great Chicken. When asked about the extra pieces of chicken, he said he wanted to be sure everybody was getting their money's worth.

In my opinion, if you had, you would remember. A friend of mine crossed my mind when I mentioned this earlier. By estimation, the sea food area was 2000 SQ ft of displays with fresh fish. It was as big as The Corner Store in Tuscaloosa. That was the sea food. From live lobsters to black striped bass.
And. Here's the kicker. It was a clean store.

We don't have Kroger here. But, what you are describing is Harris Teeters.
There's a furniture place in the same strip mall. I went there the other day to get an idea on different finishes and could smell the food just walking past the place. It was one of those minutes when you aren't hungry, but your stomach growls at you because of the smell.
There's a BBQ place about a half of a mile from here that does the same thing to me. It sucks, to a degree, when you walk out of your house in the morning before the sun comes up and you can smell the BBQ smoking. About like the old bread plant in Tuscaloosa.

I can't remember the name of the brand. Sunbeam? Maybe? @Brandon Van de Graaff @UAgrad93 On fifthteen...I think. I can see it, but can't see it.
Unrelated, sort of...same place, parking lot, where Gottfried got caught "fingering the dough."
It was just a plain old Kmart I think, before it closed. I know I was in there once back around 2013 ish, at Christmas looking for something, and there wasn't anything super about it at the time. It was a hell hole.

AT Hackberry. It was Hardin's.
Used to be Flowers Bakery I think. Changed names recently... but they bake several brands of bread. I'm sure Sunbeam is probably one of them.

Yep. That was it. The Hardin family owned the place.
I went through the place one time on one of their tours. If I recall correctly, it was built in the late 20's. That was like the Tyson Chicken Farm we visited...a part of a seminar about dietary practices in the US.

Getting dates screw up. Not surprised.
Memory Of The Week: The History Of Hardin's Bakery & Flowers Baking Co. Of Tuscaloosa
Our Memory of the Week takes us back to the source of a wonderful smell that many enjoy every day driving along 15th Street.
A friend of mine serviced accounts there up until a couple years ago. He'd get free bread on every visit, warm out of the ovens. A roast beef sandwich on some of that Dave's Killer Bread that's less than a day old eats petty good...
Has Sears gone completely under now?

No. There aren't any locations around me. I don't know how many brick locations they have...seem to have gone mostly online.
While back I broke a Craftsman ratchet which I exchanged at Ace.
A little off subject but, k-mart also had the best selections of rods and reels, lures, cast nets, shot guns and rifles! Early to mid 80’s
We didn’t have any super-k’s though
