Changes in store for Lancaster Minyard’s?

Minyard’s is selling its Lakewood store to Whole Foods Market for it to move out of its original Dallas store on Lower Greenville.

Now, that has nothing to do with the Lancaster Minyard’s, but this does:
Over the next two months, Minyard will evaluate all stores under its three banners, including the discount Sack 'n Save, and some stores may close while others will be remodeled, (Michael) Byars, (Minyard’s chief executive) said.

Last fall, Minyard opened a flagship Carnival store on West Illinois Avenue in Oak Cliff that has attracted industry attention for its design and fresh food departments. This year, the Hispanic-focused Carnival will account for more stores than the namesake Minyard chain.

Minyard is also putting its Coppell distribution center, which employs 231 people, up for sale or lease. The decision will free up resources to put into the company's "growth vehicle," Carnival, Mr. Byars said.

So, is it Carnival time on Pleasant Run? I will give you 50-50 odds.
