Grocery stores can't afford to pay $80 a square foot. At that rate, we are going out of business.

There are no pet stores that sell 9-foot sharks. You've got to get them some other way. We're going to try and collect as many animals as we can.

Why we still have incandescent bulbs in our grocery stores is beyond me.

I believe that all people that are successful should pay back their cities, their states, their towns, our country.

I started in the supermarket business in the early '70s. And by '75, '76, I realized you don't have a business unless you own the real estate.

When the commodities go up and the cost of transportation is going up, and the value of the dollar is going down, it's all going to translate to an 8 to 10 percent rise in food prices.
