Re: Whole Foods To Open 7,000 Square Foot Stores
There was a small-format Whole Foods in downtown Santa Monica (500 Wilshire Blvd.) that closed in 2017. I'm not sure of the square footage; I was in it a long time ago and it was definitely nowhere near a normal-sized WF (or even a 365.)

Re: Mercado Gonzalez Northgate opening, "Wegmans" or "Bristol Farms" of Hispanic grocery stores
From the article: Northgate was easily accessible to Garcia and her neighbors, particularly those who don’t drive. The store supplied the guajillo and ancho chiles Garcia’s mother uses to make her salsa. You can’t find those at Food 4 Less, because it is not curated for a Latino community,” Garcia s...

Re: Mercado Gonzalez Northgate opening, "Wegmans" or "Bristol Farms" of Hispanic grocery stores
I finally made the trek down behind the Orange Curtain (I'm around 45 miles away) on a rainy President's Day Monday. It was everything that has been described here, but I hope it's not going to become a victim of its own success and end up like that famous saying, "No one goes there anymore -- ...

Re: Macys Union Square closing
That store has been there for almost 100 years. It opened as O'Connor Moffat in 1929. Macy's bought them out in 1945 and rebranded the store as Macy's in 1947.

Re: Macy's Buyout? Private ownership bid
The fact that they're closing their longtime West Coast flagship store in Union Square in SF is a MAJOR indicator of problems. This would almost be equivalent to closing the Herald Square store.

Re: CA to ban disposable cups at restaurants for eat in
Farmer Boys also uses washable plates and bowls for a lot of its items (breakfast platters, salads, chili) as well as metal utensils. And they use paper cups--not plastic.

Re: Safeway NorCal: 12pk Coke/Pepsi 10.99
I do most of my shopping at Aldi, but even their Coke prices are on the high side. Since I buy a lot of Diet Coke, I just wait until one of the major chains has a decent sale (I always check Flipp to see which one(s) are the cheapest). For example, right now both Ralphs and Food4Less are at $5 for a...
