Reader's Rides!

it was a grocery store, the story is that the larger chain giant eagle paid the building rent for a long time to keep competition out. Idk if that's true though

If it is true there must be some serious competition to pay rent on a second location like that.

There is an old Albertson's in College Station that was vacant for quite a while and there were all types of rumors about it before it eventually was bought by Walmart which was next door.  Walmart needed a bit more space when they were turning the store into a super Walmart.   As crazy as it sounds they knocked out a back corner of the grocery store building to accommodate the construction on the Walmart.

As of last time I was in town it is now a  trampoline place.

One would think they would sublet it out to another non-competing business (if the lease allowed it)
