They may be wrong, but that is their call imho.
We are getting a Big R (kind of like Murdoch's) in the Kings center. The developer there was smart. The safeway developer was an idiot. Safeway would be doing great had they just expanded on their old site.
That Big R is opening in 2 months (mid Nov) and hiring 25-32 people from what I read. That will give a few more jobs up here. Hope they do well. They could be a great asset to our community and save people having to drive down the hill for lots of things in the winter. Love that they will sell guns and ammo and feed and tack.
Problem here is who are they gonna hire?
Talked with Corporate (Big R) this morning they will be transfering many of these people, and look at the people working up here now many come from Lakewood, Wheatridge and not that many locals.

I had read that they planned on hiring mostly people from the Conifer area. There are plenting who would gladly take jobs. They are already taking applications.
They might start off up here, but the winter drive might scare many off.
