To fulfill that low price need while also providing the high-quality products our shoppers expect, we have decided to refocus the value previously offered through our Airline Partnership into lower prices on the items that all customers need"

Well, I for one, will not be giving my business solely to Fred Meyer now.....

Finally! Now I don't have to go out of my way to shop there anymore.

No... you just need to fly up to Alaska to purchase your groceries
