Shop 'N Save has one. Aldi, a discount grocer, has four stores in the city. Four are north of Lindell Boulevard.

The writer of the entry, a person whom we, mercifully, will not name, admitted that her experience occurred while she was shopping there when it was a National store in '95. No, that's not all. So this e-mail filing is a case study in ethnocentrism, classism and, well, let's leave it at that.
