Re: Sonic Switches To Crinkle Cut Fries
Sonic is switching to crinkle cut fries in mid May. The old fries are skin on natural cut fries. Only a small number of fast food restaurants use crinkle cut fries. I believe Burger King tried it, but switched back. Some people prefer the crinkle cut fries. https://www.brandeating.com/2024/04/sonic...

Re: Marianos Naperville, IL Email Coupon
I've received Smith's coupons by mail, despite there not being a Smith's for >200 miles of Phoenix. I don't recall whether I received them after making a trip to Albuquerque and shopping at Smith's.

Re: Westfield announces UTC San Diego Mall Expansion
I was wondering if/when the Nordstrom site repurposing would start. It doesn't surprise me that the former Sears is fully (or near-fully) leased. The mall is so busy that vacancies don't remain vacancies for very long. UTC is an absolutely beautiful mall. My favorite, TBH. Even before the renovatio...

Re: Dom's and Foxtrot Closed, Chapter 7 BK
On reddit, a couple of Dom's employees mentioned Mariano looked ill and frail when he would visit prior to the sale to Foxtrot. Others have speculated the sale was precipitated by him being ill. Regardless, the majority of posts I've seen think Dom's and Foxtrot were not a good match and that Dom's ...

Re: Express files for bankruptcy, plans to close nearly 100 stores as investor group looks to save the brand
Until recently, I didn't know they were still in business. I guess it was former sister chain The Limited that shut down in favor of he brand being sold exclusively at Belk.

Re: Phoenix grocery market share 2023: Fry’s gains share, Walmart share drops
I expect Wal Mart's store growth program to help them in Phoenix. Fry's has kept up well with new stores and a few new Safeways have opened too. When did the last Wal Mart open? Unfortunately, they have quite a few stores that are absolute dogs. During their next round of remodels they need to do m...

Re: Hy-Vee buying Strack & Van Til
Wow - didn't see that coming. Are Chicago-area stores next? Hy-Vee would be a much better fit for Chicagoland Krobertson's cast-off Mariano's than C&S.

Re: Bojangles coming to Los Angeles
Last month they announced an agreement to open twenty locations in and around Phoenix, so California is the next logical expansion.

Re: Macys Stores Closing by 2026
... Someone had mentioned they thought they would consolidate South Coast Plaza which I doubted. Drove by today and both of the Macy's buildings have just received very large and expensive looking brand new signage with giant red stars and a custom "The Men's Store" sign. These are probab...
