    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.
