It's the biggest waste of space and money I've ever seen.

Kroger opened an 87,000 sq. ft. store where I live. 

Supposedly, the company bought a house nearby and will have VIPs stay in it when they visit this new store which is a prototype for future stores.

I doubt they will lose money on the deal.

That expansion was well researched way before it was built, or it wouldn't have happened.

It will likely break even within the first year.

 The store I'm at is over 97,000 sq. ft.  That doesn't include the loading dock which takes up an additional 8,200 sq. ft.

Personally, I think 87,000 sq. ft. is too big.  97,000 is way too big.  Either way, the store I work in is about 50,000 sq. ft. and is big enough.

As for the expanded Bakery, here is an interesting article -

They did some re-set to our Deli at store 922 and the merchandisers ordered two full skids of product that we will never use.  $5,000 down the drain and they want to bitch about a quarter hour OT.
