This will be interesting!

I'm not counting on it 100% based on my experience with the Target doc (see my review under Target) but I'm sure it will be worth watching in parts.

The first 20 minutes goes into Giant Eagle's Market District concept (which, from experience, I find to be Wegmans without the hype, chaos, or cult following) and their supply chain. That portion alone is worth watching and I have newfound respect for that chain and I wish they could find a second Giant-less name to expand more east in Pennsylvania and into the DC/Baltimore suburbs.

Another good chunk deals with the rise and success of Whole Foods and a bit is done inside a Stop & Shop in New Jersey to demonstrate the handheld scanners that they and Giant (Landover) use.
