Re: Kohl's Earnings Surprise Crash and Burn
Dillard’s sucess is that most of their stores are in smaller cities, where they are often the only full-line department store in town. Those places are not known for the desire for the newest fashion designs.

Re: Extra Mile Remodeling
Meanwhile, am-pm seems to be fading away in Arizona, most ARCO retailers here have gone to the generic “Food Mart” signage. I don’t know what is going on in SoCal with the am-pm operation. I suspect Marathon is tired of paying BP for licensing am-pm.

Re: Phillips 66 (76/Conoco) to acquire Marathon (Arco/Tesoro/USA/Thrifty)
Philips 66 (the gas station business) is totally separated from Conoco Phillips
The same with Marathon Petroleum (the gas stations) based in Ohio and separate Marathon Oil based in Texas. This is a merger of crude oil producers, not refineries.

Re: Downtown Scottsdale Fry's to become a Whole Foods
A number of Fry’s sites were originally Smith’s- especially in smaller towns like Flagstaff and Cottonwood. Converted over at the time of the Kroger-Fred Meyer merger.
And Bashas’ cash cows have always been Food City, AJ’s Fine Foods and the rural stores like the Dine’ Markets.

Re: Cracker Barrel Price, Menu, Store Size Changes Coming
Maybe they can reduce the size of the gift department. And they have done pretty well in the past without California.
They also have ownership problems with some hedge fund clown.

Re: Springfield Private Label
Springfield used to be the predominant private label brand in California, even having its own ad campaign and billboards. It became the store brand of Arden Mayfair even sold at its El Rancho stores in Arizona.
