Re: Daiso to open in Vancouver, WA
They had very aggressive plans to add hundreds of US Stores and they've added few. Their new stores are smaller and their mix seems to be declining. I was in one in a Dallas suburb last summer that had no air conditioning and it was very brutal in there. Overall this retailer seems poorly managed in...

Re: "Schnucks Fresh" stores
THe Columbia EatWell was a long-running Schnucks's for many years and the only super near downtown and the U of M campus. The store probably opened in the 70s and is probably on the small side for them, hence this format. They may have figured that having the flagship state university there, along ...

Re: Jack in the Box Daily Free Item
Here they have good/steady drive through business but dine in is empty, even at lunch, and it doesn't matter which location. Breakfast Jack is cooked fresh every time- excellent product at 2 for $3. Would like to try it with cheddar but can't figure out how to do that in the app. But the 3.49 each a...

Re: New Temecula Smart & Final
I wonder if the gas station in Murrieta makes them any money. When Kroger watches sales for stores they exclude fuel and pharmacy since those areas aren't considered "controllable" by store management in driving sales. So the gas station may help the overall picture in Murrieta. Do any of ...

Re: 🛒 Kroger-Albertsons Merger: National Impact
I'll check but I am seeing some outrageous new full prices pretty much everywhere except for service deli and produce at my local Ralphs. Some rapid fire increases like the Simply fresh hash browns going from $2.99 to $4.79. Challenge whipped butter from $3.49 to $4.99 for a small tub. What's inter...

Re: Rite Aid closing at least 63 stores
That answers my question, but I would not be surprised if the inventory management is making the problems even worse. The automatic replenishment systems used by these chains are so dependent on sales history that even if they are back in stock at the warehouse on all items they would likely fail t...

Re: "Schnucks Fresh" stores
Schnucks is interesting. I'm surprised they aren't keeping the Columbia location with this branding. They didn't really remodel it from the Lucky's Market interior. That is a good location so I am not surprised they are keeping the store open. That newer unit they opened as Eatwell must have been a ...

Five Below - Self Checkout Not Allowed
Another braindead chain who must have decided to follow Target's non lead on restricting use of self checkout (of course now Target isn't restricting anything to do with self checkout in any store I've been into). This at Five Below is not quite as bad as Dollar General who completely killed the sel...

Re: Kohl's To Open In-Store Babies R Us Shops
I have never seen more than 1 or 2 people in those Sephora shops. I also wonder where Kohl's came up with these supposedly good sales numbers. Last year, LVMH (Sephora's parent) did €86.2 billion in revenue and €22.8 billion in profit. That's a profit margin of 26%. So it's seems like the beauty pr...
