Kroger facility in Austin, TX is closing down on 5/25. Never knew we even had one here (no clue how they got my email though)

Kroger is trying to merge with Albertsons, but it’s not going as planned. So Randall’s starts closing locations, and Kroger starts closing locations. Who knows what happens next. Personally I’d like to see more competition in the grocery space, not less.
I think the next disruption won’t be another grocery store (ie, Aldi). But I think it will happen once costs for vertical farming become sustainable.
Grocery stores are the middlemen between farmers and consumers. Skip the middleman. Buy direct from the farm. Plus the “farm” doesn’t need to use pesticides so product can be optimized for taste. Traditional meat will probably go away as well and lab grown alternates be available at your local vFarm.
Or maybe humans go instinct completely and fully replaced by advanced AI. No need for food at this point. All sustained on some form of electrical source (solar or even nuclear fusion lol). I don’t think this will happen in current generations lifetime, but who knows we might be surprised
