Ukrop's
So months ago, apparently, Ukrop's issued a prospectus, which details their company and profitability and makes it available to...whomever.
Tuesday, there was a huge rumor that Harris Teeter was applying for 29 ABC licenses. Ukrop's has 29 stores.
Today, all of the general managers of Ukrop's were invited up to their retreat property this weekend.
While Ukrop's official position is that they have no comment at this time, it's pretty obvious what's going on. I got the inside scoop from some of my favorite Ukrop's receiving staff. What inside scoop there is, which isn't much. They don't know anything more than the general public, except the fact that Harris Teeter operates its stores with about half the staff that Ukrop's does.
