Was in EMAWland this weekend. Went to Dillons. Definitely looks more sophisticated and not rundown Food4Lessy. Also got snagged a deal on KC strips. "Normally" priced to $50 marked down to $18. I think it was $3.99/lb

New Dillons in Topeka as well.  Where the old Venture used to be.  They have a sushi bar.  Also I thought the floors looked nice/pretty.

We live closer to Dillons at 29th and Urish, plus they have a better olive bar.

Hy-Vee's lines aren't near as long and have better service w/ deli and meat dept and all that, Dillons you usually have to wait.

Took advantage of this as well.

Title: Re: Why does the new Dillons kick ass?
Post by: Saulbadguy on March 01, 2010, 03:49:25 PM
Salad bar faves: cottage cheese, hard boiled eggs (sliced, quarted or crumbled), different types of croutons, banana pudding w/ real bananas and 'nilla wafers, and generic pasta dishes.

Is this a totally new location or just a revamp of the one across Tuttle from Hyvee? Haven't heard anything about this. BTW where does the new Ray's A.M. fit into the spectrum? Never been in there (old or new).

I'm surprised they're closing the one at 13th and Oliver, the Dillons down the street  closed about a year ago, so that was really the only player in the area.  T&P to WSU TSC friends and the fresh food desert they now live in.

neighborhood markets are grocery store size and mostly urban areas

They're definitely not closing all of them, not even all of them in Wichita. It looks like the one on Seneca and 31st St. S is staying open.
