Jim, SWY was mentioned as maybe a good deriavitive play (sp?) regarding the Albertson purchase in that in the markets where the two major groceries compete it would be expected that Albertsons would close some of their stores and sell the land beneath as that is where alot of the company value lies. Thus, SWY would get alot of the business left behind from Albertsons.

My question for you is what do you see in NAFC?? I am not crazy about their stores, geography, management change, and eroding margins.

Best,

SWY is building fuel facilities one after another here in WA. state as fast as possible. I would guess their gas purchase discount program is helping instore sells, in fact, I have heard quite substantially. Get rerady for a rollout of car washes at your friendly Costco.....they'll do just about anything to grow another buck. LOL
