Retail Watchers

The last time I tried Burger King nuggets was a 10 nuggets for $1.49 promotion and I recall trying to eat a couple but gave up and threw them away. Has anything changed on those?

Wendys nuggets have gone way downhill they used to be great back 20 years. The meat is clearly worse quality now.

This goes into effect in 2026 and only targets stores with a liquor license and the super thick plaatic bags. Those super thick plastic bags are a terrible waste and need to go away.

Darden strikes me as a strong operator and I was always concerned what would happen once they divested Red Lobster. And here we are... I think losing the Darden "efficiencies" greatly hurt Red Lobster. But I am confident Darden is better off without Red Lobster, than they would be had they...

I do wonder however would apartments connected to a mall be more appealing than some of these freestanding type complexes? There are a lot of developers out there pushing this work-live-play concept. All in one place- no car needed. I don't really jive with this idea. But if you look at how a lot of...

Target threw another "food and grocery" $5 off $30 coupon. Their food pricing is terrible and I actually see what seem like price increases this week compared to last week... Using the coupon got their prices about down to Wal Mart levels, at best, but I think I still ended up paying more ...
