Yes, there’s other grocery-store news between the two grand openings! Notes about two WSB sponsors:

METROPOLITAN MARKET: Forest reports that “the west (42nd Ave.) sidewalk and entrance door are taped off this afternoon while the store exterior is being repainted.”

WEST SEATTLE THRIFTWAY: Big sale the next three days (Friday, Saturday, Sunday). 20 of the deals are shown on the Thriftway website’s home page.
