A new look for Tom Thumb South

The Tom Thumb at 2499/3040 (Tom Thumb South, to me) is being remodeled inside. The store is about 9 years old, so a freshening up is due. Their newer store at 407/Morriss (Tom Thumb North) is much fancier and nicer. I'm sure the makeover timing is no coincidence since Kroger is building their new signature store at 3040/Morriss, just about a mile away. A store employee told me the remodeling work will be finished in June.

Some of us are creatures of habit. I do about 1/2 of our family's grocery shopping, and I *always* go to that Tom Thumb. In the past 9 years, I've probably made 250 visits to that store, spent tens of thousands of dollars there.

It will be interesting to see what happens when Kroger opens. Tom Thumb will be fine. I worry about Albertson's, given their corporate split and major restructuring.
