Re: Brookshire Grocery to open 51st Super 1 Foods store
Nice looking store. It is refreshing to see a "value-oriented" "budget-friendly" store that looks inviting. All too often, they look like dives. Brookshire has always done a good job of making Super 1 Foods look less cheap. The earlier stores had a much simpler decor package tha...

Re: Official: Red Lobster files Chapter 11
Red Lobster's days became numbered when Darden spun them off. They were already dwindling, and quality has gone downhill. Last time I was in one was a couple of years ago in Baton Rouge, which somehow stayed open through this. On a Saturday night in one of the busiest areas of the state, the entire ...

Re: McDonald's PlayPlace History
Another issue was vandalism. The reason I know that is because I (and a whole TX junior college) witnessed the aftermath. Carthage, TX - 1993. It's homecoming week at Panola College, a small 1600 student (at the time) 2 year college. It was cheap for locals. And scholarships abounded the school. If ...

Re: Circle K Lowers Prices on Drinks
First off most of these Circle Ks in CA especially NorCal are franchises/dealer sites and they do not even participate in the Circle K app. This is the first problem. With Circle K, there are several brands. Circle K is normally company owned. Over the years, Couche Tard also bought Kangaroo and On...

This store opened this morning. Developing Lafayette, a website dedicated to all things new here, has some pretty good pictures on their site here: https://developinglafayette.com/wp/inside-the-new-super-1-foods-at-ambassador-dulles-opening-tomorrow/?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAAR0WH8VJE1h0pHkDYmE0pXf7...

Re: 🛒 Kroger-Albertsons Merger: National Impact
Apparently the plan has been tweaked to add another Texas and Louisiana store to the list (doesn't say which one from what) as well as "increased distribution capacity, provisions for expanded transition services and an additional dairy facility." https://973thedawg.com/ixp/36/p/kroger-al...

Re: Walmart introduces new private label brand
Sam Walton didn't curate a damned thing at Sam's Club. He literally stole the entire concept from Sol Price and was proud of it. He met with Sol Price and picked his brain about his Price Club membership warehouses then studied the stores out West and made his own version starting in the South. Thi...

Re: Walmart introduces new private label brand
Walmart most likely wants to get rid of the Sam's Choice brand so that Sam's Club can be split off from Walmart. Sam's Club can be sold off and anything with the Sam's name will be eliminated from Walmart. If many of you recall from Walmart lore, Sam's was a personal project of Sam Walton. He very ...

Re: Walmart to close Health Care Clinics
Everyone -
We've moved badly off the topic of the Walmart Health Care Clinics here by talking about Bettergoods, so I've split that into its own topic and moved all the posts related. Any discussion of that should take place over there.
