Donald King, Route Sales, Skipper Management “There’s a finite amount of business, regardless of segment. There’s a finite amount of disposable income. As society plays and changes it’s value, business has to adapt in a effort to stay in business. Just ask K-Mart. Consolidation will happen.” Joe S., Cast Member, Disneyland Park “Customers, manufacturers, and employees of the companies involved in this uncontrolled consolidation in the grocery industry all lose out as it continues. Less and less competition is not a good thing.” -- Have another thought?
