This week on Brick & Brand, we're pulling back the curtain on one of the biggest, messiest, most high-stakes battles in retail real estate: Grocery Wars.
In Dallas, the supermarkets aren't just stores—they're empires. HEB, Costco, BJ's, Kroger… each one staking territory, reshaping neighborhoods, and triggering development waves that change the landscape of entire cities. Meanwhile, in San Diego, the grocery scene is… well, a little less gladiator and a little more hummus sampler.
Join us as we decode the real power players, unveil the strategies happening behind closed doors, and introduce each grocer like they're stepping into a boxing arena. It's a side of retail real estate you've never seen before.

Welcome back to brick and brand! We're your host Delaney and Bradley. We're so excited to be with you guys. It is Thanksgiving week. How are you doing, sister? Well, I'm doing good. I am so, so glad. It is the week before Thanksgiving and I'll be home in, what is it, three days, four days now? I'm literally counting the hours. I'm so excited to have you here. I feel like every year, by the time the holidays get here, I'm just running on empty. And I feel like if there wasn't a holiday, like if we lived in a different country that didn't have Thanksgiving, I wouldn't be able to go on for another day. Well, for our business, Thanksgiving and Christmases are only time off, right? That's true. Pretty much 24/7 are expected to work 24/7, including weekends. All the holidays scattered throughout the year. I mean, I don't even know if we took fourth at July off. It's just kind of 24/7. Yeah. And so the only time that we get a legitimate break is Thanksgiving and Christmas. So this is very much needed. So excited. I feel like I'm kind of hanging on by a friend. I know. Counting down. And this has always been like one of my favorite holidays, I feel like since I was a little girl, it was always Thanksgiving or Christmas. But something about Thanksgiving, like the leaves are changing color and you're eating all this great food. It's just such a special time of year. And I am going to be spending it in San Diego with everybody. So that's going to be awesome. So excited. Is Thanksgiving actually your favorite holiday, would you say? I think it is. It used to be Fourth of July. I used to like toggle. I love all the holidays, but it's because it's always so hot where I've lived. I kind of got tired of Fourth of July and fall is my favorite season. So for all those reasons, I kind of feel like Thanksgiving is like the best time of the year. Totally. Someone brought it up to me yesterday and they were asking me what my favorite holiday was. And they said the reason that Thanksgiving is their favorite is you get to relax, lay on the couch, eat a ton of good food, and there's no obligation for gifts or gift giving. Like there is a Christmas. That's a good point. And I was like, that's a really good point. That makes a lot of sense. I can see why that would be the best holiday I love. But there, yeah, exactly. It's a different, a different environment at Christmas because there's the gift exchange and stuff, which is so fun. But Thanksgiving is like, okay, my wallet's not broken and I still get to be around my family and hang out and eat a bunch of food. And I remember growing up, I think a lot of your favorite holidays come from memories that you have as a child because holidays change so much as you get older. But you may have been too young, but I remember growing up Thanksgiving is when all of our cousins would come together and we would play flag football at the park and we were outside all day just playing with our cousins. And then we would go eat a big meal at the grandparent's house. And it was just like the specialist memories. And we don't get to do that anymore, but we still get to be together like all six of us typically and our parents. So it's just really special. We're so excited. So we've had a little tea this week going on in our family because Bradley's coming to San Diego for Thanksgiving. We're gonna have our brother Sullivan who lives here, our sister Liberty who lives in San Diego as well. And then our dad who also lives here. And then thankfully, Bradley's coming out. The rest of our family is going camping, which is also so fun. Kind of not my vibe for this holiday. I really just want to like rot on the
