Battle Over Groceries Squeezes Wichita Independents
In Wichita Kansas independents lose to chain stores as the shift to large superstores accelerates. Walter Hermann, once Kansas’ largest grocer, now bankrupt and idle, waits for a radio cash giveaway. Greg Fisher shares the forecast but his two shops closed and he returns to Indiana. Fred Bell notes rising costs and space of independents versus 60,000 square foot superstores, with builds costing 6 to 10 million dollars. More than eight new superstores have appeared recently, slicing the pie thinner for local grocers.
