Change of Plans in Alaska

Cincinnati, Fred Meyer Stores will withdraw its application to build a store in Homer, Alaska, according to a report in the Anchorage Daily News. The division of Kroger Co. was to begin the project next spring. “We've withdrawn from that site and are looking at what all of the options are for building in the area," spokeswoman Melinda Merrill told the newspaper. “We need to look at them and decide if they're the right fit." Fred Meyer has 11 stores in Alaska.
