Brach's rumor update: KRM is moving in.
So Brach's is closing and KRM is opening in their location?

It sounded more like KRM bought out Brach's.

Brach's prices, while cheapest in the 5 towns, is still not KRM prices. I wonder if they can go that way. KRM also has much larger selection.

In BP they own their building for many years, one of the reasons they could be cheap

Confirmed by my uncle who works in Brach's.
Clarification: he has a few offers, KRM is one of them. It's not final yet.

Oy. So sad. Brachs is probably one of the biggest chesed pumping businesses/organizations in FR/FT. Although I'm sure the others are chesed doers as well, this is a big blow to the community

They both do lots of chesed, and I'm sure whomever comes in will follow suit. Now that that's settled...
