RULER FOODS, a discount brand of the Kroger Co., still had as of last month an option to purchase the former Esquire Theatre property at MacArthur Boulevard and South Grand Avenue, according to Ward 7 Ald. Joe McMenamin.
It has been nearly two years since the company initially expressed an interest in the site. Free Press Coffee House has begun filing renovation permits for the former service station-convenience store on the corner. Free Press already is open on Toronto Road.
