Kroger offers double fuel points during the summer

Double fuel points will begin Memorial Day weekend and continue through the summer driving season. Kroger customers can earn double fuel points on regular grocery purchases every time they shop Friday, Saturday, and Sunday until September 1st.

A digital coupon is available to customers beginning this week for download through Kroger’s mobile app or online here. The first coupon will be valid for every weekend from May 24th through June 30th, with subsequent monthly coupons appearing later for a limited time. “Based on our customers’ response to last year’s summer fuel promotion, we know how much they appreciate saving money at the pump,” said Joe Bell, Manager of Marketing and Public Affairs for Kroger’s Delta Division.

New Greek restaurant opens in Cordova

Submitted by Karen Bray on Wednesday, April 24th, 10:09 am

Pita Wraps is a Greek and Mediterranean restaurant that opened early this January. But, the owner-manager is not new to the restaurant business.

This is the third location that the owner , who prefers to go by just Mo, has opened in the Memphis area. The previous locations are under new management, but customers can now head to the Cordova area to visit with Mo.

He is always friendly and urges new customers to “bite it, before you buy it.” The food is delicious and healthy and always made fresh for each customer.

Mo recommends that first-time customers try their specialty, the chicken shawarma wrap. They also have a great vegetarian option, the falafel and hummus wrap.

This location is at 1425 N. Germantown Pkwy, Ste. 4 in Cordova, TN. Like their facebook page here.

Trash pickup delays in Germantown

Submitted by Tammy Phillips on Tuesday, January 29th, 10:01 am

The trash talk between a local garbage company and its workers will now affect trash pickup in Germantown. Members of the Teamsters union for the city's solid waste collector, Republic Services/Allied Waste, are striking. Management crews and temporary workers are being used to run the collection routes.

The city of Germantown advises you go ahead and put your household trash, recyclables and yard debris on the curb on your regular pickup day. City officials say just leave it there until it's collected.

Republic hopes to begin collecting in Germantown on Wednesday and will start with homes scheduled for Monday pickup. We are told the contractor will work through the weekend until all the city's trash is picked up.

I left my inside today since it's going to rain. City officials ask us G-towners to be patient. You can find more information by visiting germantown-
