Re: 🛒 Kroger-Albertsons Merger: National Impact
Just my opinion, but judging from history, my opinion of this merger has changed 180 degrees. I think the merger should be allowed to go through with the amount of divestitures Kroger/Albertsons currently want. C&S may not fail as bad as the Haagan debacle, but it will fail. The simple answer i...

Re: 🛒 Kroger-Albertsons Merger: National Impact
I doubt C&S is out, I think this just gets them more stores. They have a signed purchase agreement and until FTC formally denies them as a buyer I do not see them going away. Great deal for C&S. If I were them no way I'd be "out" with the bargain price... If C&S does go away I...

Re: Restaurant Fees
Perch (rooftop bar in downtown LA) now has a 4.5% "security fee". Typical, business owners continue to force customers to subsidize their business. Customers will continue to be forced to "work" to spend their money and to help owners pay for their overhead expenses (costs for o...

Re: 🛒 Kroger-Albertsons Merger: National Impact
They are telling CO that the number of divests is increasing. They think this will get CO to drop its lawsuit against the merger. https://www.msn.com/en-ae/money/companies/colorado-s-bid-to-halt-kroger-albertsons-merger-set-for-august-hearing/ar-BB1kwqUz "An attorney for Kroger, Matthew Wolf, ...

Re: Chickfila to END "no antibiotics ever" chicken
Yes, the subject line is correct. This chain made a pledge to sell chicken with "no antibiotics ever" in 2014. It is now ending that pledge. The new pledge is something about no antibiotics important to human medicine. Whatever that means. And whoever concludes what constitutes "impo...

Re: Stop & Shop closures
Now, to be honest, I'm just baffled. Didn't have time to go to a lot of stores today but I was in the Morris Plains location this afternoon. Not only was it the best-run Stop & Shop I've visited in a few weeks, it was just a plain old really good supermarket. It's a converted Edwards, last reno...

Re: Stop & Shop closures
Helpful that you found actual data, which suggests a slow decline in the NYC area and a likely a failure to have much scale in NJ in the first place. You haven't spent enough time here to know that this doesn't stop people here from predicting an apocalypse (or that matter reading too much into one...

Re: 🛒 Kroger-Albertsons Merger: National Impact
At this point I have to wonder if there is some sort of "due diligence" clause in their merger agreement that negates or reduces the $600M breakup fee if the merger is officially shot down by the court system (instead of being voluntarily withdrawn). That would explain why they say they'r...

If they combined the operating units, the Amazon Fresh stores need to be renamed, licensed, or closed.storewanderer wrote: ↑March 20th, 2024, 11:26 pm Could they be trying to prop this thing to spin it off...?
