Looks like all the cars at Shoals Suzuki are being moved away & I heard the delaership in Huntsville & Sheffield are closing. Where will all these people get their cars serviced?

thats what i figured you meant. i would love that too..just doesnt seem to be that much of a demand around here though. fresh market in Huntsville has all those items you listed. but they tend to be really high as far as the meats and gourmet stuff goes. i think the costs of those items would be what would keep a store like that out of this area. madison however has the people who are willing and can afford to buy it.

I pass 5 Kroger grocery stores and 3 Publix on my way to and from work each day. Not to mention, 3 Targets, a farmer's market (in warmer weather), a Whole Foods, and an organic locally-owned grocery store.
It is awesome!

You had a Kroger store here and ran them off because of the union. Very few businesses will come to the Shoals because the mind set of union people, who work hard but will only do what the union contract states. Unions have killed American jobs and union people who think unions were their saviors, must think again.

this makes ABSOLUTELY no sense. from the article:
Self said the dealership's service and parts departments will remain open, so anyone who has a Suzuki still can go to the location.
so, they will have personnel on premises, and the property is still going to be active. why not have a dozen or so cars on the now empty lot, and a single salesperson sitting in the now empty showroom, and be available if someone DOES want to make a purchase? its not like they aren't gonna be paying rent/power/property taxes anyway.

Pardon my ignorance. I don't know anything about unions. So, Kroger doesn't have a union and the people here insisted on one, or Kroger does have a union and the people here dont want it. What did you mean by your statement?

The local workers demanded and sided with a union, and Kroger closed the stores in the Shoals area rather than give in to their demands.

I believe Suzuki and General Motors are a partnership and GM is hanging by a thread..
