Re: LOI signed for new Albertsons in Ardmore, OK
Based on renderings it looks like it will resemble the El Paso Albertsons built a few years ago.

Re: 🛒 Kroger-Albertsons Merger: National Impact
I do not see C&S being involved in any deal to acquire anything but cast offs. They are not a long term operator and I do not see them changing. That is the entire criticism of their involvement in this deal where they are acquiring stores and facilities at basically below liquidation value. Th...

Re: Ahold Delhaize Strategy Day
A "Strategy Day" type open house is not going to announce anything of substance from a transaction perspective, or even anything from a financial or restructuring perspective. These types of calls happen all the time at retailers, they're usually called "investor day" and they a...

Re: Dutch Bros. To Offer Mobile Ordering For The First Time Amid Profits
I can believe Dutch Bros is hurting Starbucks in Texas as their expansion has been breathtakingly fast (about 200 stores since 2021 compared to Starbucks' 1250 since 1994) but there's no way that's putting a noticeable dent on their performance in the bigger picture.

Re: WinCo Expands to Renton
WinCo Foods has acquired the old Fry's Electronics building across from the Target at Renton Landing. Originally it was going to be redeveloped into a multi family housing site.

Re: 🛒 Kroger-Albertsons Merger: National Impact
At some point someone blinks. I don't think they have until November. They need to move on. This can't stay tied up forever. The two companies can't stay in limbo forever. Let's see how earnings/profits with both companies are in the coming 3 months. I think the opportunity for someone to "bli...

Re: 🛒 Kroger-Albertsons Merger: National Impact
Apparently the plan has been tweaked to add another Texas and Louisiana store to the list (doesn't say which one from what) as well as "increased distribution capacity, provisions for expanded transition services and an additional dairy facility." https://973thedawg.com/ixp/36/p/kroger-alb...

Re: Subway Sale to Roark
Some Roark owned concepts that might fit (I didn't realize how many of these they owned); Auntie Anne's, Carvel, Cinnabon, Jamba, McAlister’s, Schlotzsky's, Seattle's Best Coffee (when did SBUX give that up?), Baskin Robbins, Dunkin Donuts, Jimmy John's. I think any of these would be an upgrade fro...

Re: 🛒 Kroger-Albertsons Merger: National Impact
The trial with the Washington AG has been OK'd by the courts and is now set by September. If Kroger was hoping to get this wrapped up by election day that's looking less and less likely. https://www.kulr8.com/news/court-rules-antitrust-lawsuit-against-kroger-albertsons-merger-can-proceed/article_5cc...
