love is colder than death , commonly abbreviated lictd or lictd , is an early german neoclassical dark wave band that was one of the cornerstones to hyperium record ' s heavenly voices compilation series of the early 1990s . it is named after the 1969 fassbinder film liebe ist kälter als der tod . the band ' s music is characterized by its extensive use of both romantic and classical styled male and female vocals . founded by ralf donis , maik hartung , sven mertens , and susann heinrich in 1990 , the band members and music have changed slightly since then . the first few lictd albums were released on the hyperium record label in europe and on the new metropolis records label in the united states .
after tess records gave up the ghost in 2001 , the band signed with projekt records . their back catalogue was re - released , though the band became inactive soon afterwards . the group re - united with bassist cynthia coulter for several shows in 2004 and announced plans to write and record new material in 2013 . the band also performed a reunion show in october , 2015 in houston , texas .
black tape for a blue girl is an american dark wave band formed in 1986 by projekt records ' founder sam rosenthal . their music takes on elements of dark wave , ethereal , ambient , neoclassical , and dark cabaret music . director david lynch is one of their more well - known fans . their 11th album , these fleeting moments , was released on august 12 , 2016 on metropolis records .

jamming the voice of the universe and bioculture , both released initially on germany ' s hyperium records , set the mood for the times . picking up themes from such artists as front 242 , bigod 20 , and early a split second , electro assassin combines the hard driving beats and heavy handed sequences that makes the scene such a joy to be a part of . the band themselves refer to their music as
cyberpunk
: a computer and electronic approach to the renegade attitude that created the punk movement of the seventies and eighties .
this lp was one of the first true industrial rock lps made in the us . it is from a sub lable of cheetah records , the same lable as d . j . magic mike , so you know it has cool beats !
in 2000 , we signed to projekt records , first offering our track
skin
on the
sireenia
female vox compilation , and then later our second full - length cd ,
to dream , perchance to sleep
in march 2001 .
in another twist , chandeen left hyperium records in 1997 and signed a new contract with spv . one year later they released their fourth studio album spacerider - love at first sight ( synthetic symphony ( germany ) cd spv 085 - 62 - 72 cd , 1998 ) and the accompanying single
spacerider
( synthetic symphony ( germany ) cd0555 - 62083 , 1998 ) . the material ( review ) had taken a sharp turn towards pop music , a major departure from the material on the waking dream although still grounded in löwy ' s arrangements and the tremendous vocal work of antje and stephanie .
tribal ambient groove . seductive , organic rhythms combine with shimmering atmospheres and female vocalizations to form a sensual soundtrack that your lover will thank you for ! one of the songs ,
kombai
, has been included on the slumberland ii compilation released on waveform records .
faith & disease is a seattle - based ethereal wave music project who released their debut cd
beauty and bitterness
in 1994 . its core members are eric cooley and dara rosenwasser . the band was originally signed to seattle indie label ivy records and more recently projekt records . they have released six full - length albums and dozens of compilation appearances including an ep with electronic artist jeff greinke dream the red clouds released on italian label amplexus records to their credit . faith & disease played 300 + live shows during their time , including appearances at bumbershoot , folklife , headlining at convergence festival , nxnw , and an invite to the 1999 cmj music festival , and extensive tours of the us in 1998 , 1999 and 2001 . they played their final show on march 23 , 2006 at seattle ' s neumos . no reunion plans have been set .
by 1995 , the band had moved over the england ' s cyber - tec label , releasing the divine invasion , a cd filled with literary themes adopted from the highly futuristic author , the late philip k . dick . this cd was given its domestic release by fifth column records .
chandeen was founded in 1990 by oliver henkel and harald löwy . chandeen ' s first singer - - of iranian descent - - was aline akbari , who joined the band in 1991 . the second singer , antje schulz who would be known as the definitive chandeen vocalist , joined in 1992 . akbari and schulz shared vocal responsibilities - - as two vocalists almost always would for the life of the band - - for the first two years . during the same year oliver rosch , founder of hyperium records , heard chandeen and offerred them a contract . the group went to record their debut album shaded by the leaves , but without aline akbari who left the band some weeks before they signed their contract .

chandeen were brought to the attention of musical discoveries ' editors by cd services in dundee , scotland during the very early days of our publication . the band ' s enyaeseque tune
strawberry passion
was one of our first exposures to the heavenly vocals genre that chandeen so eloquently typified . further discoveries made through the heavenly voices series on hyperium records were good , but chandeen set the high water mark among the artists exposed including single gun theory , love spirals downwards , stoa and love is colder than death . other artists introduced in the series ' volumes ii - v include lacuna coil , bel canto , claire voyant and heather nova , rose chronicles and within temptation all of whom have been heavily reviewed at musical discoveries since . this band retrospective and review of their last release pandora ' s box is indeed long overdue .
the band ' s album teignmouth was the first metropolis records release , and remains one of lictd ' s more popular albums . following the departure of donis , the more experimental songs that characterized some of the early lictd work gave way to a much more classical sound . eclipse , the latest lictd album with new content , reached number one on mexican new age sales charts .
the album closes with the track ,
lady solitude
by essences . this is a brighter track with a vast array of percussive elements and is almost lullaby - like when the vocals take hold . warm and melodic , the track reminds us of the textures that hyperium built these albums to create . essences ' vocalist is one of the best on the album and the song , with excellent instrumentation including a stunning violin part , perfectly illustrates the emotion she can convey .

naive childlike women , good fairies , unreachable godesses or laszivous man - eating sirens . . .
there really is a song for every taste ,
a song for every situation : a lullaby for sleepless nights , a medieval epic , a meditation and a prayer , a catchy pop tune , a powerful metal ballad or a melancholic torch song . . .

best of
compilation taken from the band ' s hyperium releases entitled a taste like ginger ( cleopatra ( usa ) clp 0197 - 2 , 1998 ) was quietly released . the album also included a couple of live bonus tracks released previously on maxis only . in the spring of 1999 chandeen began to tour again , while harald löwy founded his own record label kalinkaland records . the band continued along the axis of spacerider with some references to their earlier material and released the fifth album ( review / interview ) bikes and pyramids ( kalinkaland ( germany ) efa cd 01353 , 2002 ) in the fall of 2002 , the last album to feature stephanie härich who had quietly left the band prior to the album ' s completion . a maxi entitled
my world depends on you
( kalinkaland ( efa cd cdm 01352 , 2002 ) with typical chandeen bonus material was released to accompany the album . that only one track ,
the spacerider legend ,
a light atmospheric keyboard - laced instrumental within the medley of the album , appears on pandora ' s box is perhaps a statement that bikes and pyramids was the most radical departure from the chandeen sound in the band ' s release history .
german label founded in hamburg , 1975 by günter körber after quitting his executive post with brain , a label that he had co - founded . sky focused on a similar roster of electronic , ambient , krautrock and progressive rock to brain , including releasing material by cluster and other brain related artists , plus many new groups and exclusive discoveries . in later years the label concentrated mostly on instrumental and new age music . the very last sky new release came out in 2000 . last represses known were in 2003 . since the label ceased many reissues have appeared on : bureau b and sireena records often with the original sky label design . label code 4435 or 04435 runout - information pf > please append > mastered by tonstudio pfanz
for more than a decade chandeen have managed to artistically steer clear of the stereotoypes of ethereal music . they have moulded a sound that is distinctly their own and instantly recognisable . with pandora ' s box ( kalinkaland ( germany ) cd 94653 - v22 , 2004 ) the band once again shows the spectacular , epic and also the calm , melancholic moments of their 12 year history . the album also contains the last two unreleased tracks and shows chandeen ' s history from shaded by the leaves ( hyperium ( germany ) cd 391 0094242 , 1994 ) through echoes ( kalinkaland ( germany ) efa cd 06679 , 2003 ) . the band ' s final release is a compilation from their dozen year run entitled pandora ' s box ( kalinkaland ( germany ) cd 94653 - v22 , 2004 ) . our review of the album follows the band ' s history below , although the running order of the tracks on it does not .
we asked a bit more about the band ' s first vocalist whom we ' ve never heard . harald remarks ,
well , she was the * first * chandeen singer from 1991 to 1993 and she wrote a lot of lyrics on shaded by the leaves including
journey to the land of wisdom
and
silent gods .
her spirit accompanied chandeen for the first years , even after she left the band , because she was a real poet and she gave our songs meaning .
catrin mallon joined in her place and sang with antje schultz on the first chandeen album . the band ' s first maxi ,
lumis
( hyperium ( germany ) cd 391 0080316 , 1994 ) was also released . pandora ' s box includes
the world of lost and found ,
the definitive antje schulz track
scottish hills
with its unique celtic instrumentation and the moody
silent gods
featuring evocative vocals by both cartrin and antje from the band ' s debut album .

says songwriter harald löwy ,
we chose the songs that describe our musical journey . they are bridges of our evolution which was everything else than continuous .
while significant change underscores the band ' s development , longtime silent member michael j . schwalm has continued to promote the band through his stalwart maintenance of the band ' s website , stunning band photos and contributing to graphic design of artwork accompanying chandeen ' s cd releases . the mystery woman whose photo is included on the back of the pandora ' s box album is not from chandeen . says harald löwy ,
her name is jennaea and she is a model of pandora ' s box photographer emmanuel volakis .

in addition to the primary band members , chandeen have incorporated lots of material from guests as well . notable contributions from dorothea hohnstedt ( german flutes ) whose playing contributed extensively to the sound of some of chandeen ' s tracks , harald gottschalk ( guitars , mandolin ) , axel henninger ( acoustic guitar ) and michael schwalm ( sampling ) began with shaded by the leaves , continued through light within time and into the waking dream with additional vocals contributed by ian javelin . additional contributions on spacerider were made by florian walther ( guitars ) and joi härich ( backing vocals ) and on bikes and pyramids klive and nigel humberstone ( additional sounds ) . but the band have relied on their gorgeously attractive and stunning vocalists antje schulz , catrin mallon and stephanie härich along with harald löwy ' s incredible songwriting to carry the band through their dozen year career .
antje schulz | stephanie härich | harald löwy image © michael j . schwalm 1996
harald löwy | antje schulz | stephanie härich image © michael j . schwalm 1996
however , new personal problems emerged within the band , problems which already existed during the jutland sessions . these problems resulted in catrin mallon and oliver henkel leaving the band in late 1994 . the duo went on to form edera whose evocatively produced album ambiguous ( cleopatra ( usay ) clp 9805 - 2 , 1996 ) was released two years later . elements of chandeen ' s ethereal sound certainly emerge in the recording . it ' s like the other half of jutland found a musical outlet .
harald löwy | stephanie härich | antje schulz image © michael j . schwalm 1996
the album featured new guitar player florian walther . it was no coincidence that the music industry had begun to take notice of the potential of chandeen ' s music and in late 1998 the band filmed their first video clip ,
skywalking
which was released in early 1999 on a maxi ( synthetic symphony ( germany ) spv62193 cds , 1999 ) . the clip got played extensively at mtv and viva for several weeks and chandeen received a nomination for the german clip award . while spacerider might not have been one of the truest recordings to the band ' s natural style , pandora ' s box includes selections that are natural extensions .
siren ' s call
is an evocative ballad sung by antje schulz while the slow - paced and bluesy
time walk
sung by stephanie expresses a different side of chandeen . also included is the track
love at first sight ,
the third in a medley made just for the album . dorothea hohnstedt ' s flute provides allusions to the band ' s earlier sound but thick bass and vocal processing of both singer ' s voices clearly illustrates the album ' s departure .
chandeen released their sixth studio album in 2003 . the album almost snuck up on enthusiasts and it was only after listening to the material that the departure of stephanie härich became public knowledge within the chandeen fan community . echoes ( kalinkaland ( germany ) efa cd 06679 , 2003 ) was the returning to chandeen ' s roots : the meditative , romantic part of their music became the center of their influence again ( review / interview ) .
echoes is an album full of energy ,
harald löwy remarks .
it sparkles and glows and has the sould which we missed in our later projects .
pandora ' s box includes the everso gentle heavenly vocals ballad
a dream within a dream
and the equally delicate title track , laced with antje ' s lovely harmonies from the album .
so where is everybody now ? harald says ,
well unfortunately we have no regular contact anymore , but of course i know that antje sings in several different projects , like in strict confidence and janus . she was even on tour with in strict confidence in february [ 2004 ] .
he continues ,
but i guess she does not write songs anymore .
we asked harald about the two previously unreleased tracks . he told us ,
breathing spirit is sung by stepnanie .
tides of live
is sung by antje .
he continued ,
these two tracks are the last unreleased new recordings of chandeen . we finished the last additional tracks only a few months ago . the lyrics of
tides of live were written by aline akbari , the first chandeen singer years ago .
clearly chandeen have come full circle .
breathing spirit
is a rich and rather long track that includes dense arrangements similar to those on the waking dream with the power and depth to support stephanie ' s soaring vocals . it is indeed characteristically stephanie - - experienced listeners will certainly understand the comment . the album concludes with antje ' s rendition of
tides of life ,
an mid - tempo percussive guitar - based number . we were especially pleased with the clarity of the vocal production highlighting the tenderness of antje ' s evocative voice throughout , even in the harmonies , although the production quality of the instrumentals is equally superb .
and that brings us conclude our article on to pandora ' s box the stunning compilation of the band ' s dozen years . we could say that antje schulz and harald löwy were chandeen , because they may not be making music together anymore . but their songs live on beyond that , in a delicate timeless way . and that ' s illustrated on this final release , a compendium of the classic chandeen sound , tender vocals and delicate instrumentation .

comment : customer oriented seller . ships from germany . delivery in 8 - 14 business days .
excellent old school industrial . . . not surprising since this recording is from the early 1990 ' s . most tracks are at least good , with some very good and a couple great . which means that it is a better value than 99 . 9 % of new releases , which might have one good song at best . highly recommended .
schnitt acht - subhuman minds on the firing line one of my favorites bands . from orlando fl , schnitt acht was the most power electronic band from usa in the 90 ' s years . the voice of morgan lekcirt ( born as william morgan trickel ) is the pure characteristic of ebm oldschool music style .
loved this band back in the early 90 ' s glad to see they reproduced it .

various - music from the empty quarter : ghafran label : t . e . q . music ? , uk , 1993 format : cd / magazine mfteq93 / 1 track : ri - vita ( unreleased ) , later released on the album octo
zauber of music vol . 3 from music from the empty quarter vol . 12 ( 1994 )
the opening track by mime ,
inside ,
provides a brief taste of what is to follow with a powerful almost spoken voice engineered way above the instrumentation . but it ' s when the marvelous single gun theory track
motherland
opens that the sound , trademarked by the heavenly vocals series , comes to life . single gun theory has a unique ability to bring stunning female vocals to life over a lush electronic backdrop . their track featured here is from their latest and , in our opinion , best album .
the classical version of
restless
by within temptation features stunning soprano vocals over a warm piano instrumental foundation . deeply melodic choral elements underscore the lead vocals . love spirals downwards follows with an electronically influenced track featuring drum loops , lush guitars and further instrumentation in what appears to be previously unreleased in the song
city moon .
the track is truly a testament to the gothic texture the band have made popular in their own recordings and previous appearances in the heavenly voices series . as before , their lyrics can not be understood on first listening ( if ever ) .
just around the corner
by siddal builds upon the gothic theme set down by love spirals downwards with a lighter sounding vocalist and less percussion . a warm piano foundation sets the scene for
shrink
by the gathering . with vocals sounding very familiar to some pop vocalists we ' ve heard , the track is a heartfelt ballad , briefly filled with soaring electric guitar .
a slow heavily guitar - laced ballad with soaring vocals by rose chronicles entitled
blood red
is next up . the band ' s sound is not unlike the gathering . the moors dark sounding
guth na torainn
follows with an electronic soundscape underscored with percussion . the vocals are deep and dark sounding , certainly chant - like , and are spoken most likely in gaelic . guitars join the soundscape as the heavenly voices join the song and add significant brightness to the band ' s medieval sound , enhanced significantly by choral elements .
aurora sutra ' s
goddess shape - shifting
has a lovely female voice singing german lyrics over acoustic guitar and a mildly percussive foundation . electric guitars change the mood to progressive rock in lacuna coil ' s song
falling
which is heavily laced with further electronic instrumentation and vocals very much in the theme of leger de main . clearly the most powerful of the album ' s female vocalists , this track must be an outstanding to lacuna coil ' s work .
liv kristine ' s
waves of green
is one of the most relaxing tracks on the album . the light voice in this almost classic ballad is accompanied lightly with harp and other strings , slight percussion and keyboard giving an almost orchestral quality . this is a song built to illustrate her vocal talents of the artist and highlight them .
das zeichen take us back to the gothic texture with the dark sound contained within the almost worldly sound of
douh - sah - ra .
vocals are powerful at times but subdued at others within the chant sound created within the track . there ' s a good vocalist in there and while the beat picks up , overall the track is drawn out , un - melodic , a bit too chant - based for our tastes and too dark for us .

this ascension toured coast to coast in the united states in 1994 , 1995 , and 1997 . the band also toured the west coast prolifically , sharing the stage with bands including clan of xymox , the jesus and mary chain , chris isaak , the wolfgang press , pixies and the stranglers .
vocalist dru allen has sung for the neo - classical project mirabilis and the ambient / electronic act falling you . dru and cynthia coulter have gone on to join erick r . scheid in the shoegaze / dreampop band mercury ' s antennae .
trance to the sun is a neo - psychedelic post - punk band originally based out of santa barbara , california . the band consists of multi - instrumentalist ashkelon sain as the primary songwriter , performer and producer , and has featured three full - time vocalists—ingrid blue , dawn michelle wagner , and zoë alexandra wakefield . trance to the sun recordings have often included guest contributors , and tour line - ups have usually included one or more additional musicians . currently , the band consists of ashkelon sain , ingrid luna , and daniel henderson , with additional live musician terry luna on bass guitar .
trance to the sun has had a considerable impact on the dark wave , gothic rock and post - punk music scenes in the u . s . and abroad . mike ventarola of the internet radio station hidden sanctuary described trance to the sun as
one of a few select bands from that part of the world whose previous compilation appearances , cd’s and tour dates read like a who’s who for the goth underground . despite the multiple band lineup changes over the years , the core group remained tenacious and steadfast .
the changelings are a band from atlanta , georgia self - described as a “blend of ambient pop - fusion laced with neo - classical and middle eastern styles” . formed in 1995 , they have released six albums , and have been named the “best local experimental / fringe band / artist of atlanta” in creative loafing for the years 1998 - 2002 . although their albums have been received warmly by critics , their largest audience has probably heard them unknowingly : their music has been used in the soundtracks to game noble armada , the haunted attraction netherworld haunted house , and the television special beyond the da vinci code .
the machine in the garden is a music duo featuring roger fracé and summer bowman . they have released seven full - length albums and one ep . their music is a blend of different genres , such as synthpop , electronica , goth opera and goth rock .
formed in columbus , ohio in 1995 , frolic consists of the duo of matthew chinn and kelly o ' brien , along with the guitar work and engineering of jonathan beard . the music of frolic consists of serene washes of atmospheric textures , combined with crystalline guitars and the lofty , angelic vocals of kelly .
the band formed in the spring of 1995 in columbus , ohio , where an eight month recording session spawned a number of guitar - driven tracks ( half of which are on our full - length ,
permafrost
) .
in 1997 , matt & kelly moved to orlando , florida , where more atmospheric and synth - oriented tracks were produced , and then sent back to jon for engineering and additional guitar work . this led to the 70 - minute epical full - length cd
permafrost
, on the now defunct , philadelphia - based record label velvet empire .
in the fall of 1999 , we gathered some of our early 1995 session tracks and released an ep entitled
fragments of the past
.
in the same year we contributed a cover of
angels we have heard on high
to projekt ' s holiday compilation
excelsis vol . 3 : a prelude
.
chandeen is a musical project from frankfurt am main , founded in 1990 and popular in the darkwave scene in the first half of the 1990s . the band refers to its own style as
electronic poetry
. from the middle of the 1990s , the band ' s style changed to a more pop - oriented sound with influences from rock and trip hop .
over their 8 year history , love spirals downwards released four best - selling projekt albums idylls ( 1992 ) , ardor ( 1994 ) , ever ( 1996 ) , and flux ( 1998 ) , plus 1 single , sideways forest ( 1996 ) , and 1 retrospective temporal : a collection of music past & present ( 2000 ) , incorporating the styles of ethereal , shoegazer , folk , world , ambient , and electronica to create a uniquely beautiful , dreamy sound . to date , they have sold over 50 , 000 cds through indie label , projekt , and though disbanded since 1999 , they continue to sell to this day . primarily a recording project , love spirals downwards performed live only sporadically - - generally in conjunction with projekt festivals - - and almost always acoustically . love spirals downwards ' last live show was in 1998 , in support of their final studio album , flux . in 2007 , projekt released remastered reissues of the band ' s first 2 albums and plans to release the band ' s other 2 albums similarly are underway .

kessel food markets was an american supermarket chain based in michigan .

it began in 1981 when owosso , michigan native al kessel , a former executive vice president of hamady brothers supermarkets , purchased kroger locations in corunna and saginaw .

kroger closed these stores due to michigan 's poor economy at the time , and failure to reach union agreements .

after kroger closed all five of its flint locations in 1982 for the same reasons , kessel purchased them as well , followed by 13 hamady stores after that chain filed for bankruptcy in 1991 .

at its peak , kessel food markets comprised 24 stores .

kessel filmed his own television commercials for the chain , in which he would throw items into a grocery cart and state , " save at kessel this week .

why ? because we 're with you . "

the kessel chain was frequently targeted by workers ' unions in saginaw .

by 1999 , four of the kessel stores had been converted to save-a-lot or closed , while the rest were sold to kroger , which briefly continued to operate them under the kessel name before converting them .

kessel 's company , kessel enterprises of grand blanc , michigan , continued to operate the save-a-lot stores and local pet supplies plus stores .

kessel died december 28 , 2012 at age 74 of esophageal cancer , in naples , florida .

union officials also accused kessel of intimidating employees at times , a claim which he denied .
a native of owosso , kessel and his wife colette still have a home in grand blanc .
knight was working for kroger in caro when he went to one of kessel ' s original stores in saginaw . considering leaving kroger , knight wanted to see what kind of leader kessel was .
the information about some saginaw stores is wrong . it should be like this . * * 3355 holland was a ray ' s food fair , then a giant , then a kessel and is currently a save - a - lot . * * 3805 n . michigan was also a ray ' s food fair , followed by a giant , followed by a kessel , followed by a save - a - lot which is what it is now . it was never a family dollar . * * 5700 state was actually closed in 2008 , not 2007 . it was a ray ' s food fair , then a giant and was remodeled as a giant before kessel bought the giant chain out , followed by kroger buying the kessel chain out . the greenhouse was used for offices , the entrance to the store and the customer service desk , it was never used as an actual greenhouse . * * 4675 bay rd . not 3437 bay rd . is now a goodwill . also when ocb opened it did not effect the grocery store at all . * * 2490 tittabawassee this store was always a kessel and never a kroger , also the part where hobby lobby is located was never part of the store , that was a phar - mor before kessel even re - located there . it closed not long after kroger ' s buyout of kessel as a kessel . * * 321 n . michigan this was never a kroger or a kessel , this was an arbor drugs and then a cvs pharmacy after cvs ' s buyout of arbor , the store next door to it use to be a hollywood video . save - a - lot opened after cvs shuttered their saginaw area stores .
one of the union ' s spokeswoman claimed at the time that kessel overworked and underpaid his employees .
the sale did not include kessel - owned pet supplies plus outlets of his save - a - lot grocery stores . those stores still operate under kessel enterprises , which is headquartered near his grand blanc home .
knight was impressed and left kroger to work for kessel – including 11 years at the grand blanc store .
kessel ' s funeral will be jan . 5 at hill funeral home , 11723 s . saginaw st .
television commercials with kessel detailing that week ' s deals would feature the jovial man tossing the items in a cart and ending with
save at kessel this week . why ? because we ' re with you .
the sale did not affect four kessel stores that were converted to save - a - lot stores or closed .
kessel died friday , dec . 28 , at a hospice facility in naples , fla . he was 74 .
* * 5700 state was formerly ray ' s food fair and later giantway , later a kroger with all - caps signage , closed 2007 when kroger moved to a new store ( former a & p / farmer jack ) . i find it strange that although this was giantway into the 1990s , it
television commercials with kessel detailing that week ' s deals would feature the jovial man tossing the items either in a cart or off camera and ending with
save at kessel this week . why ? because we ' re with you .
kessel bought those stores in 1982 and expanded his collection of stores in 1991 when he acquired 13 hamady stores through u . s . bankruptcy court . the deal left kessel with 20 stores , making it the largest flint - area grocery chain .
as a footnote , al kessel was a former executive at flint - based hamady stores , which went under in 1991 .
kessel sold 20 of his stores in flint and saginaw in 1999 to kroger . the 2 , 000 employees kept their jobs .
grand blanc , mi – grocery store owner al kessel would close each of his commercials with
we ' re with you .
a family spokesman said kessel had been diagnosed with esophageal cancer 15 months ago and died at a naples hospice facility . he was 74 .
* * 2629 w . pierson rd . being the former yankee , later tradeway and hills . hills closed in 1991 , not long before the aforementioned kessel burned down . this store became kessel and remains open as a kroger , looking much like a former hills on the front .
kessel was known for his personable style and amusing commercials . he would detail that week ' s deals and the jovial man would toss the items in a cart or off camera and would close with
save at kessel this week . why ? because we ' re with you .
watch a youtube video of one of his weekly commercials below . check urltoken for additional updates . click here for all our coverage of kessel .
in 1999 , he sold his 20 stores to kroger and kessel ' s 2 , 000 employees had the opportunity to stay on with kroger .
* fenton had a kessel at 1236 n . leroy st . i don ' t know what it looked like as a kessel , but my first guess is
former kroger .
the building was torn down in the early 2000s for a strip mall including a subway and a dollar general .
, is obviously a former corner - entry kroger . kessel closed this store in 2000 , and it ' s now a save - a - lot .
grand blanc , mi – grocery store magnate al kessel , known for his personable style and amusing commercials , died friday morning , dec . 28 , in florida .
i have found that all the kessel stores were in the flint , saginaw and bay city areas . i distinctly recall most of them reverting to kroger over time .
he cared for his employees and was always willing to help the ones who may have been struggling financially , according to friends and those who used to work for kessel .
he ' s going to be missed ,
said wife colette kessel .
he ' s just an amazing man , but couldn ' t conquer the cancer .
* * 1563 e . pierson rd . was also a hamady . it was vacated in 1996 when kessel moved to the location below , and 13 years later it ' s
he died friday dec . 28 at a hospice facility in naples , fla . kessel was 74 . he had been diagnosed with esophageal cancer 15 months ago , a family spokesman said .
kessel opened two former kroger stores in saginaw and one in corunna in the early 1980s . he had previously been vice president of the now - defunct flint - based hamady bros . grocery chain .
he took care of the people the way he would want to be taken care of ,
said richard knight , who worked for kessel for 29 years .
he went over and above .
since reagan , the anti union forces have been telling the nit wits all the evils of workers unions . i seen it in union cities , here in saginaw michigan , there were union kroger stores before reagan took office . after reagan was elected kroger made a deal with al kessel to buy out the area ' s kroger stores thus tying the unions hands because kessel stores weren ' t unionized and because krogers sold out nothing could be done for union workers , who either stayed at their jobs with reduced wages and no benefits or they lost their jobs . it was a vast scam as the
new
kessel stores sold kroger brand foods , the non union kroger stores in ohio remained open . all efforts to unionize kessels failed , the former union workers tried but kessl said if they unionized he was closing the stores , the unions couldn ' t muster up enough support with the non union workers to pass a union also . this went on until 2000 . then after the 2000 elections all of a sudden kessel sold all of the kessel stores back to krogers and today they are all back under the kroger name without unions [ … ]
* * 4841 clio rd . was probably a former hamady given that it shared a plaza with a yankee . the store burned down in the early 1990s and was never rebuilt , as kessel reopened in the former yankee at the other end…
he sent me to the super bowl , so i think he kind of liked me ,
knight said of super bowl xxvi in minnesota in 1992 .
that was fantastic . i enjoyed every minute working for al kessel and his family .
* and finally , swartz creek was kessel until the early 2000s , when a brand - new kroger opened on the other side of town . it was split between pet supplies plus and save - a - lot , the latter of which closed in 2007 .
in september 1998 , 125 labor leaders and supporters marched on kessel headquarters , asking him to sign a pledge to allow the union to distribute its organizing literature freely in company stores . the pledge would have also given union representatives access to employee meetings in the stores .
as a kessel . it was obviously a former 1970s kroger superstore in this pic . it ' s kroger again , with the kroger sign in all - caps . this is a corner - entry store with the corner entry on the right , next to a kmart .
* * g - 5186 fenton rd . opened ca . 1996 in what was formerly known as the 23 market , a three - store chain which also had locations in burton ( vacant , not sold to kessel ) and flushing ( see below ) . this lives on as a
al was a larger than life person , not only in stature , but in personality ,
said linda gobler , president and ceo of michigan grocers association , where kessel was a board member for 10 years .
he really was a wonderful individual and i ' m saddened to learn of his death .
* * 3437 bay rd . is a former corner - entry kroger superstore ( right corner ) . at some point , perhaps around the same time it became kessel , an old country buffet was built right next door . ocb took over the corner entry , and a new entry was cut in the middle of the store . this store closed in the early 1990s and relocated to the below location . michaels arts & crafts took this store over until last year , when it also moved .
kroger created a distribution partnership called foodland distributors by spinning off the detroit area warehouse to a limited partnership with several detroit area supermarkets , including kessel ' s . super kmarts in the the area were supplied by the warehouse from the 90 ' s until the partnership was dissolved with the kessel ' s acquisition . i ' m pretty certain that great scott ! ( allied ) was also supplied by foodland distributors and was also acquired by kroger after a & p acquired farmer jack . i don ' t know if chatham ever used foodland distributors , or if it was spartan supplied . i believe carter ' s and some other michigan chains used foodland distributors as well . this is one of the reasons that kroger brands were sold in non - kroger stores in michigan . kmart even sold rocky top cola , a bluefield beverage product identical to big k colas as its house brand soda prior to switching to fleming as its wholesaler ( fleming was a national contract however replacing the various wholesalers supplying kmarts around the country ) . as for non - union stores in ohio , i ' m pretty sure every store in ohio is unionized , as the lack of concessions and low market share led to kroger completely leaving northeast ohio , as well as the pittsburgh market . the only other well documented union showdown in that time frame happened in defiance , oh which is a kroger sav - on that closed temporarily only to reopen . the kroger stores in baton rouge , la were closed as a result of a strike , during this same timeframe , and were sold to a & p who re - opened them as non - union stores . without moving further off topic , kroger did open some non - union stores within its existing marketplace to send the point to the unions that stores could be operated with or without them ( mainly in right to work states in the south ) . in the case of both acquisitions of great scott ! and kessel ' s many stores returned to kroger ownership . in the case of great scott ! , the stores were unionized , but kessel ' s as you stated weren ' t . the deal enabled to kroger to remain in the detroit market and eventually survive the decline of what competition wasn ' t acquired - chatham ' s and a & p / farmer jack , and the expansion of meijer into southeastern michigan , leaving kroger and meijer as the two major chains in the detroit region .

the corunna store was later converted to a save - a - lot outlet .
kroger closed the stores in 1981 after it couldn ' t get concessions from the flint - based local that represented workers . it also cited michigan ' s poor economy and the cost of the doing business in the state as reasons for closing the stores .
similar reasons were given when kroger closed all five of its genesee county stores later that year .

in 1981 , it seems there was a union issue regarding kroger in michigan . according to one
* bay city — this one opened in 1992 in a former giantway . it is currently a kroger , seen
, with allcaps signage . big lots took over the former ray ' s family center , which was basically a small discount store often attached to giantway stores .
* bridgeport — also a former giantway / ray ' s family center . according to
loopnet listing , the building is vacant , having received a new parking lot in 1997 . the tail end is now a family dollar .
* * 1200 e . bristol rd . was demolished , along with an adjacent former perry drug / rite aid , for a new - build kroger early in the decade . i ' m quite familiar with this store , as my aunt lives behind it .
as a save - a - lot . note the weird
peak
jutting out of the greenhouse windows .
* davison ' s store was a former hamady , and i think a yankee discount store before that . this was a kroger until a new store opened downtown maybe 6 years ago . it ' s seen
, looking like absolutely no kind of kroger whatsoever , although i remember it having the glass
peak
like corunna . the south half of the store became a dollar general and is now a goodwill store , and the north half is still vacant .
, is now a very small kroger . i have no idea what this opened as ; it doesn ' t resemble any kroger prototype i ' ve seen .
* * g - 5249 corunna rd . was a former hamady , also now a kroger . it ' s a strange , small building with
kroger . ( oh , and the 23 ? right behind this store is the 23 drive - in , itself named for the fact that fenton rd . used to be us - 23 . )
rite aid has opened a new store in the parking lot , replacing the vacant former perry at the back of the old grocery store .
* * 1542 e . pierson rd . is a former 23 market . it
* grand blanc also carries on as a kroger , with the
peak
as well ; the greenhouse has been removed . i have mentioned before that this store was a demo / rebuild or extreme remodel of a 1970s corner - entry store attached to a small mall .
is that it is evidently an expansion of a former corner - entry store . the corner entry is obvious but bricked over .
* * 3355 holland is a former giantway . it has been cut up into several stores , including a save - a - lot . this store is located behind the now - closed fort saginaw mall .
* * 3805 n . michigan is also a former giantway . it , too , is a save - a - lot ( and a family dollar ) .
. it , too , was closed when the new store opened at the former a & p site in between this and 5700 .
* * 2490 tittabawassee is a relocation of the above store , opened in the early 1990s . it looks a
, having been converted to that name ( with all - caps signage ) for a couple years . after it closed , hobby lobby took over the east half .
* * 321 n . michigan is also a former corner - entry kroger , also currently a save - a - lot .
the nkroger in defiance , oh was part of the indiana marketing area and union barging uniy . now they ae are apart of local 75 { toledo 911 before that ) out of cinci and still in the indiana marketing area
thanks for filling in some of the history regarding unions ! despite the fact that a large portion of my family works for gm , i could never make heads or tails of the whole union thing . i barely even know what one is . as for the architecture of these stores , did kroger ever use a
spire
like pictured in the corunna store ? it seems to mesh with the greenhouse windows pretty well . and what could the davison road store have been in a previous life ? it sure doesn ' t look krogerish .
