Retail Watchers

Given the relatively small size of some Subway locations, I could see some potentially converting to Baskin-Robbins. The layout of the counter space is somewhat similar, although coolers obviously would need to be swapped out. I can't see a Subway co-branding with Baskin-Robbins unless it is a larg...

I wonder how many Subway operators will take the opportunity to change completely out of the concept and switch to another Roark brand. I imagine it will be a significant number, especially in markets where Jersey Mike's is still aggressively adding locations like SoCal. I cannot recall the last ti...

That's ugly. There are dozens of that store model throughout the southeast that could come apart just like that - and have. Winn Dixie had tons of those. I know of at least two Super 1 Foods locations in that store model still operating near me. If you look at Google Maps, it also took out the Dolla...

With all of that said, the need to get health care into rural and under served areas is important. In the more rural areas, this is easier said than done. When you're looking at Supercenters now, you look at three models: The primary model runs 175,000 to 220,000 s.f. These stores have the mall are...

Seems like Walmart finds out fast what doesn't work for them:

I worked for SuperValu in Wyoming back in the dark days with Sv an LLC splitting the name. That was hell explaining why the stores across the border in Colorado had different owners and ads than we did. And now it’s come full circle again. 👎🏻 I think the intention here is for the combined company t...

Hi folks, I'm a long-time listener and a first-time caller. GOB Sales in Texas have essentially matched out-of-state operations. Our stores are now advertising that they're in their final seven days, and I've been referred to next Monday for fixture sales. Still, no WARN notice has been posted, but...

They just never ran the same way as they run elsewhere. Their unit in the South part of Las Vegas runs like a machine; that is an incredible operation with excellent employees. The OR and Sacramento area operations are/were just... slow... sad... and so overpriced for what they were selling. Based ...

We will see how many actually open. This chain has become a joke. The one in IL doesn't even sell bone in chicken only has chicken tenders. Their new menu does not include bone-in chicken. It's tenders only. A location opened near me in a Love's that operates the same way. Spoiler alert - it's just...

I've never heard of a total liquidation having the company "picking up" an entire backroom worth of product. These backrooms are a huge mess. There are partially opened boxes, seasonal stuff that never got put out, etc. . My guess is that either Pic N Save or Ollie's is about to have a &q...
