Re: WinCo Expands to Renton
I know the Marysville WinCo store was a new build (where all the other WinCo stores in the area were built in existing structures) that has a strip of other retail on one side of the building, but it looks like the store was built at the same time as all of the other stuff in that shopping center so...

Re: WinCo Expands to Renton
I do believe that this store would be the closest WinCo to Seattle (previously it would have been Edmonds) so that might work to its benefit. Renton also has the closest Walmart to Seattle, although that one is a couple of miles away near the intersection of I-405 and SR167. Not sure what transit ac...

Re: Circle K Lowers Prices on Drinks
Haven't been to a Circle K here in a while, but I know they've been running $1.29 32 ounce Polar Pop drinks for as long as I've been here, and it's not uncommon for them to run promos to add a Circle K branded snack item for $1 with a drink purchase. The main issue I've seen with Circle K is that th...

Re: WinCo Expands to Renton
I shopped at that Fry's a fair bit before they went downhill, I think the building and location would actually be a pretty good fit for a WinCo store. I know they have taken over big-box sized properties in the past (the Everett store, for example, was originally a HomeBase) and that one might be a ...

Re: Denny's All Day Diner Deals $5.99
I don't know when it happened since I don't live there anymore, but at some point it appears that almost all of the Denny's restaurants in the Seattle/Tacoma area returned to full 24 hour operation. There are only 3 Denny's locations near here, all with different hours. The one closest to here in Gr...

Re: Nordstrom going to Private Equity?
I know Crossroads in Bellevue had a Nordstrom Place Two store for a while, but I don't think it lasted long. After that store closed it got subdivided into smaller stores. The Hallmark store moved into part of the space along with Party City, a Dress Barn that's now gone and Hand and Stone massage. ...

Re: Barnes and Noble new stores
Another factor to consider is that the Barnes & Noble stores now sell a much larger amount of non book merchandise than they used to. At the Greensboro (Friendly Center) store I've visited I'd say at least 1/3 of the store is now occupied with toys, games and other non book merchandise (for exam...

Re: Sonic Switches To Crinkle Cut Fries
Here in the South it seems like crinkle cut fries are the default style you'll find at most mom-and-pop places, and in particular most BBQ places will have them as a side on the menu (although most meals will come with slaw and hushpuppies if you don't specify something else.) In terms of bigger cha...
