Retail Watchers

It certainly does. As people have mentioned, I believe the interior that the East Norriton ACME has is a Shop Rite interior with most aspects such as wall signage being carried over to ACME (it looks like Albertsons put up new aisle signage and repainted the store, but most of the wall signage look...

It is confirmed, as of July 1st all the fees at restaurants must be folded into the menu prices. No more surcharges. No more automatic gratuities either even for large parties. Link to the AG documents in this article. It's very clear. https://www.timeout.com/los-angeles/news/its-finally-official-a...

Grocery outlet has always been a treasure hunt store for me. You never know what you will find. I really enjoy walking through there and seeing all the failed products end up on the shelves there and shaking my head how those products made it past multiple rounds of review in each company. They hav...

I sure wish more restaurants customers would walk if they find out there is a fee. But most just seem to accept it. Maybe money isn't tight enough yet... if this sort of thing is still being accepted. But it is also surprising how many people don't ask for a receipt and how many more receive a rece...

I have not noticed or encountered any expired or soon to be expired products at any "mainstream" stores in my area (including Target, Pavilions, Vons, Ralphs). I ALWAYS find this in these price impact stores like Dollar General, 99 Cent, etc. I also found some at Sprouts an Trader Joes. T...

Out here in NV the Cumberland Farms unit (Quik Stop) is now at 1.49 for a small 12oz coffee and 2.29 for the Extra Large (24oz I think).

Then you get a few areas where towns are still small enough that the bigger brands simply don't want to open there, and thus the Ace (or True Value) is a great asset. People may still go to the bigger chains when they are near one (or if they can't find exactly what they are looking for in the small...

LOW RENT. That is why those stores survive. Rural area rents are very low. A slow, low volume store in small town USA that pays very little rent many times is more profitable than the busy big volume store in the big city that pays big rent. So "how are they doing" is too basic a question...

Probably not so much enforcement by requiring them to build, more likely that if it was provable that there would be fines or similar to punish them for keeping competition from existing. Probably not that easy to prove, as even if they did state that somewhere that was recorded (not likely, partic...

For some reason the GNC.com website is now selling a bunch of Rite Aid brand vitamins. This may not seem unusual since GNC has had a contract to supply Rite Aid brand vitamins for decades now. But this is very recent the GNC.com sells Rite Aid vitamins. Also most/all of these are "out of stock...
