The Dallas Morning News reports that Kroger is doing well in D-FW area. My own experience has shown Kroger to be much stronger here, but these hard numbers show Kroger is up 3.5% since 2004.
Kroger, the No. 2 U.S. grocer after Wal-Mart, seems to have figured out best how to live with the new reality.
Besides Wal-Mart and SuperTarget, Kroger was the only chain to gain market share in D-FW among the big six operators last year, according to data compiled by Market Scope, a publication of ACNielsen Trade Dimensions.
“Kroger is the only Wal-Mart rival thats had continuity, and its held up very well and continues to gain market share,” said Ed Fox, a marketing professor at Southern Methodist University who has studied the local grocery market for several years. “Tom Thumbs ability to compete was damaged by the change in ownership to Safeway, who tried to make all the stores homogenous. They’ve stabilized and are looking good relative to Albertsons.”
I keep waiting for Albertsons to pull out of this market entirely. The Albertsons at Custer and McDermott in Allen is one awful store.

DallasNews.com reports that Comerica is moving their headquarters to Dallas:
Comerica Inc. said Tuesday it plans to relocate its corporate headquarters to Dallas.
The Detroit company said the move to Texas will allow it to take advantage of a more central location with improved accessibility to its markets.
Comerica currently has 71 banking centers in Dallas, Houston and Austin, and has said it expects to significantly increase its growth in Texas. With more than $58 billion in assets, Comerica will be the largest bank holding company with headquarters in the state.
Great news for Dallas, let’s just hope the City Council does not do anything to screw this up!
