Kessel Food Market

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

I kind of feel bad for this one; growing up as a frequent WNEM watcher, I always enjoyed this chain's ads with founder Al Kessel throwing grocery products in a cart at random. However, for a chain that went under in the 2000s, I'm finding almost no verifiable information on this chain. The only sources I could find were either press releases or trivial in nature; the rest of the article is a directory of their locations.

 * Comment: how about these?  (maybe the second and third sources are trivial in nature?)

 * Delete as there are no reliable secondary sources to demonstrate notability, and the source that are cited are press releases. As a result, this article reads like borderline spam.--Gavin Collins (talk) 08:06, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
