[QUOTE="M-5, post: 1338768, member: 23550"] A little bit of trivia, back in the 60 thru 90s kwik chek /winn Dixie was the walking dog in the South for grocery stores. In my area Montgomery AL had the premier distribution center with the early days of tine Davis having a large cattle herd and insisting on them being known as the beef people. I worked for them for 20yrs. the general mgr and VPs as well as a few other Corp heads in Montgomery were largely responsible for their sucess. The president of the company james kudfelt got cancer retired and died. The board hired the ex CEO of albertsons and he ran the company in the ground. He fired a whole bunch of these men in Montgomery. I ran into one of them and we had a long conversation before DG took off. He told me that several of them were working on a new venture and told me to call him in a few months. I was already in a new job and doing quite well. So I never bothered him. After I saw stores popping up a yr or so later I ran into a guy I knew from WD in the DG we talked and he told me how much money he had made when he bought DG stock for cheap when DJ and Ted bought into DG . I am still doing good but wonder sometimes if I should have called DJ back. [/QUOTE]
