Ingles in the Tri-state/Piedmont of NC/TN/SC. Basically the only grocery here. To the point that any others either go out of business or have localized rebrands to be super bougie.
Not that they're good or anything. They treat their workers like shit and are a generally terrible place to shop.
There are 7 Ingles of equal size to the one in the wiki photo within 5 miles of me.
Oh, I thought you meant like literally owned by Kroger. And Ingles didn't really expand out of the tri-state until the founder died 9 years ago, so it was kinda this weird local phenomenon. You'd go from literally no Ingles in one town to only Ingles for 100 miles. Like a little grocery/real estate empire.
I like to think of the Ingles family as the natural extension of the Vanderbilt's. One monopolized railroads, the other monopolized food.
Oh I'm agreeing with you. I've been trying to get the Ingles workers here to unionize for a long ass time. It's mostly old people and children working there so it's kinda hard. They still only pay $8/hr max with $0.25/year raises after 2 years.
If I could, I'd burn their shitty Monopoly to the ground and rejoice in the co-ops that would spring forth from its putrifying corpse.
King Soopers here in Colorado has the exact same branding. Same owner?
