Sad.<BR/><BR/>The staff at Joe O.'s is great. Let's hope the new Marsh ownership will recognize the potential gold mie they have and spruce it up.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-1156426348635991422006-08-24T08:32:00.000-05:002006-08-24T08:32:00.000-05:0016th St Kroger being cleaner? NOT HARDLY!! I've been in there a couple times and the place is a dump! I'd go to O'Malias any day. Now if a Target would open up somewhere near there that would be sweet.<BR/><BR/>Marsh got caught up in American "laziness". Buying shoes, clothes, groceries, a big screen TV, and get eyeglasses all under one roof. Yes I'm referring to Super Duper Wally-World. I don't shop Wal-Mart, not because of their employee relations history, but because the stores are filthy and several employees there (north and south sides) are just plan rude. No thanks I drive by Wal-Mart to go to Target instead.Sir Hailstonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16301073859882785758noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-1156421458453188662006-08-24T07:10:00.000-05:002006-08-24T07:10:00.000-05:00I think the Kroger on 16th St. is actually cleaner than the downtown O'Malia's sometimes.<BR/><BR/>The O'Malia/s store is the unfortunate victim of two instances of corporate greed: 1) Joe O. went to prison for skimming money from the pop machines and failing to report it to the IRS, which distratced the O'Malia boys big-time (they ultimately sold out to Marsh), and 2) big time GOPer Don Marsh ignored all stores in the chain except the huge beheemoths he was building in Hamilton County, which cost $20 mil a pop. Ultimately, those expenses, and failure to pay attention to core business, cost Don. And us. Because Marsh was a good grocer.<BR/><BR/>Downtown is itching for a good grocer. I heard the 16th Str. Kroger may expand and remodel. True?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
