<br />Livermore, Kathleen <br /> <br />From: <br />Sent: <br />To: <br />Subject: <br /> <br />Jim McVay & Cathy Caputo Ocmcvay@gmail.com] <br />Wednesday, June 06, 2007 6:11 PM <br />Livermore, Kathleen <br />[POSSIBLE SPAM] Upcoming meeting re: Grocery Outlet <br /> <br />Importance: <br /> <br />Low <br /> <br />Dear Kathy, <br /> <br />I understand that the city council will be discussing the former Albertson's site at the <br />upcoming June 7th meeting. I will be out of town so I can't attend. But I wanted to let <br />you know how I feel. <br /> <br />I know that the Grocery Outlet has applied to open a store at this location and I am <br />strongly opposed to allowing them to do so. The last thing our city needs is another <br />cheap discount store. As you know, that location is a prime location for our city's <br />future development. I strongly urge you to oppose the Grocery Outlet's proposal to be <br />treated as a neighborhood market <br />-- an idea that is clearly ridiculous on it's face. The Grocery Outlet is no more a <br />neighborhood market than Wal-Mart would be. <br /> <br />I know that most of my neighbors feel the same way about this site. Please make every <br />effort to get an upscale grocery -- preferably one that sells some organic food -- to move <br />into this location. <br /> <br />Has anyone approached the people who own Farmer Joe's in Oakland about opening another <br />store? Or Berkeley Bowl? <br /> <br />Thank you! <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br />Catherine Caputo <br />818 Collier Drive <br /> <br />1 <br />
