Re: Alternative Retail

I have commented on the collapse and failure of the outlet mall concept, which seems to be dying faster than regular malls but not capturing the attention of the media since they are fewer and further between. The primary cause in my opinion has been a lack of actual first quality product that is j...

Re: 99 CENT ONLY closing

Dollar Tree is trying to purchase 58 leases. 37 in CA. Includes Reno and Carson City in my area. Dollar Tree can't run the stores they have here, don't know why they think it is a good idea to add any more. Terrible operator. Ugh. Couldn't it be something better- anything better? Seems there is alw...

Re: McDonald's PlayPlace History

Off the top of my head, I know in College Station the Southwest Parkway lost its outdoor playground in a renovation. This was the wooden one I mentioned on Groceteria. Part of the problem was that the store was on a fairly tight outlot and needed the space. Outdoor one in nearby (Highway 21) got rem...

Re: 🛒 Kroger-Albertsons Merger: National Impact

Meanwhile one could make the argument that Kroger's continued growth of large marketplace stores is really a invasion of Target and Walmart's segments. That does add complexity because the feds don't view things that way. So the feds just see conventional supermarket industry players and share, the...

Re: Brookfield: "Death of the mall was a myth"

I have noticed the big home improvement stores are more hesitant to locate in malls in the US. I can think of one Home Depot on the outskirts of a mall and it does well but really is so far it is off property for all intents and purposes. In Canada it is more common to see home improvement stores, ...

Re: Brookfield: "Death of the mall was a myth"

Despite the "we're working past the department stores" talk, there's a lot of things wrong with malls still. Most of the department store replacements aren't real replacements (often not connecting into the mall), unique specialty stores are almost extinct, and despite hopes that some mal...

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...
