The AJC had an interesting article on the supermarket wars in Atlanta, which had pretty much come down to Kroger vs. Publix. One thing that seemed to be missing from the article was the fact Kroger does double coupons, which makes all those Sunday inserts all the more valuable.

Something also pretty fascinating with the Krogers in Atlanta proper is that a number of them have their own charm and have picked up nicknames along the way. There's the Disco Kroger in Buckhead, which used to be right next to a popular dance club; the Gay Kroger in Ansley Mall (I often feel like I'm the only straight guy when I shop there); Kosher Kroger on North Druid Hills, in the Jewish Toco Hills section of town; Ghetto Kroger on Ponce, which is in an area that used to be much worse off than before. Some interesting ways to enhance that shopping experience, I guess.
