| | Grocery store woes — The Reform Movement of Local 8 Golden State (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18) |
 | | Meanwhile, 20 Ralphs, Cala and Bell stores in San Francisco and the North Bay are reportedly on the block, with other Bay Area grocers said to be interested in taking over some of those properties. |
 | | "The idea of a grocery store for all people in a major area hasn't made sense in years," said Frank Dell, president of Dellmart and Co., a retail analyst firm also in Stamford. |
 | | As far as the Ralphs, Cala and Bell stores are concerned, a real estate source said they are on the block as a result of Ralphs' failed push into Northern California that started in 1999, when it acquired 40 Albertsons stores in an antitrust settlement. |
