They made some fundamentally bad decisions as they grew and this ultimately constrained their options. Thrifty-Payless was losing money. Correction, Thrifty Payless was a profitable $5 billion company before the Rite Aid acquisition. Happy to share the history of that company but don't post that th...

Re: Jack in the Box & Del Taco moving to 100% kiosks
Jack In The Box had kiosks in their San Francisco Bay Area stores up until around 2016 or so. Customers hated them. Nobody used them. They didn't take cash, and it was complicated to order. Most of the time it was so frustrating that you would just order the bare minimum and pay. Ordering with a ca...

Re: Rite Aid closing at least 63 stores
More closures today on the bankruptcy docket. 17 stores. Most in CA/PA. Still no more in OR/WA. I think OR/WA have been spoken for in their current form. Also hearing multiple stores are getting told they are closing this week... which are not on any lists yet (I guess we will see those on a list n...

It's not as clear from the desktop website, but MoC has updated their logo and font families to reflect some of their new movements in "local" food and branding. They definitely are branding the "Oregon-ness" so clearly not moving into SW Washington state (or elsewhere) soon. Fr...

Re: Self Check Outs
The Home Depot in Tigard, Oregon went 100% self-checkout in the main part of the store. Pro is still staffed. Is this a test or a chain-wide trend?
