Retail Watchers

Boarded up BK along 99 somewhere around Galt or Lodi has a big indoor playground sign on its tall sign. Not sure when it closed.

There was a playground at the Burger King in Reno on Kietzke. There was also one at the Burger King in Sparks on Pyramid Lake Highway.

Indoor. Built with them.

Not sure if they are still there...

Would a 99 Cent Only Stores run by Dollar Tree be an improvement? I'd rather give them a chance at running it than see it go away completely... Since they have the intellectual property... it is either they run this format/banner or it goes away entirely... Maybe if they ran it as a separate divisi...

The bigger news is Dollar Tree buying the brand and all trademarks and about 180 leases. Not sure why that's so quiet.

There are a LOT of different McDonalds franchisees around Sacramento and I don't think there are any corporate units left in the market. There were a few corporate units a decade ago closer to the middle of Sacramento. I'm trying not to be negative but to me the old playground equipment looks bright...

Seeing more of these 10% off Boost Member Exclusive tags throughout the store... Along with the batch of price increases I notice every week when I shop this chain. Garlic previously .50 now .67. My favorite this week was the Boar's Head Wraps in the deli- they have been 4.99 for years (a true barga...

It has been quiet but in the background the chain seems to be dying. This is reminding me of the end of Bed Bath and Beyond. What is odd is BBB was a straight line "DOWN" whereas Rite Aid really did look like it was "coming back" and headed toward emerging back in late January/ea...
