NEXT TIME YOU GO OUT. IT
HAPPENED HERE AT THIS MASSIVE
STRIP MALL THAT IS ONE OF METRO
DETROIT’S BUSIEST PEOPLE COMING
GOING SHOPPING AND FOR JOSEPHINE
DINARDO WATCHING HER BACK JUST
IN CASE TO KEEP HERSELF SAFE.
JUST DO MY 3 60. LOOK AROUND
EVERY TIME I GET INTO MY CAR
UNLOCKED, AND I LOOK IN THE BACK
SEAT, AND THEN I GET BUSY BEAUTY
SUPPLY SHOP HERE IS PACKED WITH
FEMALE STAFF AND FEMALE
CUSTOMERS. OAKLAND COUNTY
SHERIFF’S INVESTIGATORS SAY IT
BECAME THE TARGET OF 27 YEAR OLD
AUNTIE KULUM SEPTEMBER 22ND
POLICE SAY COLOGNE ALLEGEDLY
VIOLATED THREE DIFFERENT STORE
EMPLOYEES BY ASKING THEM TO
REACH FOR MEN’S FRAGRANCE ON A
BOTTOM SHELF. INVESTIGATORS SAY
COLOGNE WOULD THEN GET BEHIND
THE EMPLOYEES AND RUB UP AGAINST
THEM IN A SEXUAL MANNER. WHEN
DINARDO SHOPS SHE SAYS SHE DOES
PAY ATTENTION TO OTHERS AROUND
HER. I NORMALLY JUST MIND MY OWN
BUSINESS, BUT WHEN IT COMES TO
LOOKING AT SOMEBODY KIND OF
CREEPY LIKE THAT, I KEEP MY
DISTANCE. UM I JUST STAY AWAY OR
I GET OUT OF THAT SITUATION.
EMPLOYEES HERE COMPARED NOTES.
ALL THE SAME, GOT COLOGNES
LICENSE PLATE AND CALLED THE
OAKLAND COUNTY SHERIFF’S OFFICE.
BACK HERE LIVE THE STORE DID NOT
WANT TO TALK ABOUT THIS. THEY
WANTED TO PROTECT THE PRIVACY OF
THE EMPLOYEES WHO THEY BELIEVE
ARE VICTIMIZED HERE. COLOGNE
$10,000 BOND IF HE MAKES THAT
BOND IS ORDERED TO BE ON A
TETHER, WE’RE LIVE TONIGHT.
SHAWN LEY LOCAL FORM. OKAY SEAN.
THANKS ONE STORY, YOU KNOW? WELL
KROGER, THE OTHER YOU MAY HAVE
HEARD OF MAY NOT KNOW AS WELL
UNLESS YOU TRAVELED TO THE COAST
AND THAT’S ALBERTSONS. WILL THEY
AGREED TO A MERGER TODAY? BOTH
BIG NATIONAL GROCERY CHAINS
EXPECTED TO BECOME ONE GIANT
CHAIN. LOOK AT WHY THIS HAPPENED
AND WHAT IT MIGHT MEAN FOR METRO
DETROIT SHOPPERS WE BRING IN OUR
BUSINESS EDITOR ROB MALONEY ROD
GOOD AFTERNOON DE’VEON. I’LL
TELL YOU WHAT THE WALL STREET
GUYS TELL ME THAT. THE REASON
THIS HAPPENED IS BECAUSE
ALBERTANS WENT PUBLIC TWO YEARS
AGO AND THE GUYS WHO GUYS AND
GALS WHO PUT THEIR MONEY INTO
ALBERTSONS WON IT BACK AND THE
DEADLINE TO DO THAT SELL THEIR
SHARES IS NEXT WEEK, SO THEY
WERE PUSHING FOR A SALE, AND NOW
THEY HAVE ONE. AS GROCERY CHAINS
, ONLY KROGER AND ALBERTSON’S
WERE NUMBERS ONE AND TWO IN THE
COUNTRY. BUT EVEN TOGETHER
THEY’RE STILL DWARFED BY WALMART
. OF COURSE IN WASHINGTON, THERE
ARE ALARM BELLS, SOUNDING ABOUT
WHETHER FEWER GROCERY CHAINS
MEANS HIGHER PRICES FOR YOU, THE
CONSUMER G L GROCERY ANALYST
DAVID LIVINGSTON SAYS IT’S
POSSIBLE THAT IT COULD ACTUALLY
WORK BETTER FOR YOU AND YOU’RE
NOT EVEN LIKELY TO NOTICE WHEN
THE SALE CLOSES. PROBABLY NOT,
IN FACT, WITH THE HIGHER WITH
THE LARGER KIND. UM, IS A SCALE.
AH YOU MIGHT ACTUALLY SEE LOWER
PRICES BECAUSE OF BETTER AND
MORE PLENTIFUL IN STORE BRANDS
AT THE BLOOMFIELD HILLS KROGER
THIS AFTERNOON, DAVID BROWN
PACKED AWAY HIS PURCHASE AND
ISN’T IMPRESSED BY THE NOTION OF
LOWER PRICES CONSIDERING RUNAWAY
INFLATION IS KILLING HIS BUDGET
. I CAN’T SEE WHERE THE EXTRA
BUYING POWER IS GOING TO DO MUCH
FOR THEM. THEY’VE GOT PRETTY
GOOD BUYING POWER RIGHT NOW,
THERE THEIR DOMINANT IN
MICHIGAN. THIS IS A NATIONAL
PLAY, THOUGH, AND TULSI GROUP
GROCERY ANALYST JOE FELDMAN
TELLS LOCAL 4 THAT COULD PROMPT
KROGER TO SPEND MORE ON MAKING
ITS STORES LOOK BETTER PLAN WHEN
THE MERGER TAKES PLACES TO
ACTUALLY REINVEST A LOT OF MONEY
BACK INTO THE STORES AND
ENHANCING THE CUSTOMER
EXPERIENCE, SO THAT SHOULD
ACTUALLY HELP TO CLEAN UP THE
STORES. A LITTLE BIT OF BROWN
WOULD SETTLE FOR JUST SOME
UNIFORMITY. IF THEY’D ORGANIZED
THEM. ALL THE SAME. YOU GO FROM
ONE TO ANOTHER, AND THAT STUFF
IS ALL IN DIFFERENT LOCATIONS.
SO THAT MIGHT THAT MIGHT HELP.
NOW THE ANALYSTS I TALKED TO
TODAY AGREED ON TWO THINGS, ONE
THAT IT MAKES SENSE TO DO THIS
BECAUSE OF WHERE THE STORES ARE
LOCATED. THERE’S NOT A LOT OF
OVERLAP, BUT THE OTHER THING IS
THE FEDERAL TRADE COMMISSION IS
LIKELY TO FORCE THEM TO SELL OFF
A LOT OF STORES AND DAVID
LIVINGSTON TOLD ME HE THINKS
WHAT WILL HAPPEN IS THAT THEY’LL
SELL OFF A BUNCH OF STORES TO
LESSER OPERATORS WHO WILL THEN
COME BACK IN A YEAR OR TWO AND
SELL IT BACK TO THEM FOR PENNIES
ON THE DOLLAR, AND THEN JUST
OPEN THEM, THEN THAT’S HOW YOU
GET AROUND. THOSE KINDS OF
THINGS, SO WE’LL SEE HOW ALL OF
THIS POINTS OUT BACK TO YOU, AS
THINGS SELDOM TAKE AS LITTLE
TIME AS PEOPLE MIGHT EXPECT.
WHEN DO WE EXPECT THIS MIGHT
CLOSE? WELL SURPRISINGLY,
CONSIDERING THIS IS A $25
BILLION DEAL. THEY’RE THINKING
IT’S NOT GOING TO CLOSE UNTIL,
LIKE THE MIDDLE OF 2024, SO IT’S
GOING TO BE A WHILE AFTER WATCH
THE TWISTS AND TURNS BETWEEN NOW
AND THEN, QUITE AWHILE, YOU BET.
ALRIGHT, ROD. QUE THE WEEKEND IS
HERE AND NOT TOO BAD BEFORE IN
OCTOBER DAY TODAY, CHILE AS WE
LOOK AT THE LOOK AT THE BIG
HOUSE WHERE IT IS GOING TO BE,
UH, A BIG CROWD. WHAT’S NICE?
THERE IS, THOUGH, WITH THAT THE
CROWD IT ALWAYS GETS WARMER
INSIDE FOR A WHILE BECAUSE WE’RE
SNUGGLING IN BUT GOING TO BE
COOLER BY THE END OF THE GAME
TIME, RIGHT? IT SURE IS,
ESPECIALLY THE MICHIGAN STATE
GAME BECAUSE IT STARTS EVEN
LATER. THEIR KICKOFF ISN’T UNTIL
FOUR O’CLOCK RIGHT NOW, THE BIG
HOUSE IT’S 55 DEGREES. YOU CAN
SEE AN INCREASE IN THE CLOUDS
FROM WHERE WE WERE JUST A COUPLE
OF HOURS AGO WITH A BIT MORE
SUNSHINE. APPEARS AT 57. SO IS
MONROE. HERE’S THE FORECAST FOR
THE PENN STATE MICHIGAN GAME. WE
DO EXPECT RAIN TONIGHT BETWEEN
ABOUT TWO A.M. AND EIGHT A.M. SO
IF YOU’RE EARLY TAILGATERS, YOU
MIGHT HAVE SOME WET PAVEMENT TO
DEAL WITH AND HAVE TO DRY.
SOMETHING’S UP, BUT OTHERWISE
SHOULD BE FINE. CERTAINLY, BY
THE KICK OFF, IT WILL BE PARTLY
CLOUDY AND 51 DEGREES. YOU’LL
NOTICE IT WILL BE BREEZY AS WELL
. THREE O’CLOCK TEMPERATURE OF
56, THEN MICHIGAN STATE
HOMECOMING GAME AGAINST
WISCONSIN TAILGATERS. THEY’RE
TOTALLY FINE AT ONE O’CLOCK, BUT
IT IS CHILLY, ESPECIALLY FOR THE
END OF THE GAME. ONCE THE SUN
SETS AT 6 52. IT DOES COOL DOWN
RAPIDLY RIGHT NOW, JUST ABOUT
EVERYWHERE IN THE UPPER FIFTIES.
I HAVE TO SHOW YOU THIS EVEN
THOUGH I DON’T REALLY WANT TO,
BUT YOU SEE THAT BLUE RIGHT
THERE. YOU KNOW WHAT THAT IS? WE
HAVEN’T SEEN IT IN A WHILE.
THAT’S SOME SNOW. WE’RE GOING TO
TALK ABOUT THE POSSIBILITY THAT
WE COULD SEE AT LEAST A COUPLE
OF SNOWFLAKES HERE EARLY NEXT
WEEK. HEY IF YOU WANT TO KEEP UP
TO DATE ON ALL THE WEATHER AND
YOU’RE OUT AND ABOUT THE BEST
WAY TO DO IT IS TO GO TO YOUR
FAVORITE APP STORE TYPE IN
WDIV’S AND DOWNLOAD THE FOREWARN
WEATHER APP TODAY, STATE POLICE

THAT THEY HAD PEOPLE HELPING ME.
PEOPLE LIKE 12TH GRADER AUSTIN
PARRISH. HE’S PART OF THE FIRE,
EMS AND PUBLIC SAFETY PROGRAM AT
TAYLOR CAREER AND TECHNICAL

SIDE. MAKE IT EASIER FROM THE
