Re: ALDI to acquire Winn-Dixie
I wasn't sure this was the right thread for this, but press releases like the one shredded in this thread, make news coverage follow: NBC Nightly News, March 11, 2024 Some grocery chains offer their own private brands to keep food prices down Frankly another lazy national news report, they only talk...

Re: Wendys Dynamic Pricing
This is a tie in to their major sponsorship of the NCAA mens' and womens' college basketball tournaments "March Madness." Hopefully it sticks out all the way until early April for the finals.

Re: SLC WinCo joins Teamsters
Vesting used to be 5 years in, so this is an example of how even an "esop" company has made some changes to retain (?) younger workers. Long ago, I had a friend working for this company and she stated that mysterious things always seemed to happen to folks at her store(s) right before they...

Re: Best Yet brand in Hawaii
This comes from C&S California. They are the main wholesaler to Times and others. There is also Essential Everyday stuff there somewhere. My understanding is it actually gets there from UNFI Seattle. Franz bread is there too (as a frozen thaw and sell item) from the same supply chain. Cool, I w...

Best Yet brand in Hawaii
In Hawaii, when blessed to visit this month, the "store brand" at a supermarket was Best Yet. Very limited assortments, probably mostly in things that they couldn't easily get a name brand to send over to the islands. (ie. candle/grill disposable lighting sticks) Walmart also didn't sell n...

Re: In-N-Out opening in Washington
Local TV media also chose to report about it (KOIN-6 Television).
The Oregonian has an article but has locked it to subscribers only.

Nope, on Google Street View it's always been a tiny Penney's. Mervyn's building became Kohls (like so many).storewanderer wrote: ↑February 29th, 2024, 6:50 pm Ukiah is a former Mervyns; basically redecorated but still just like a Mervyns.
I figured JCPenney would not have added the catalog/salon door if they'd assumed a former Mervyn's.

Re: Publix entering Louisville, KY in 2023
Safeway in Colorado has been in decline (to my first hand experience) since the late 1970s. When I worked at Kings Soopers under Dillons (twice), Safeway was bad (almost everywhere). No one I knew shopped there and to this day (still have many friends there) RARELY walk into a Safeway. I do not get...

Re: Lack of Whole Foods North County San Diego
Does anyone know who supplies Gelson's? I don't think I've seen Supervalu or C&S brands there. Are they just buying directly from manufacturers in small quantities at over-inflated prices? I agree with everyone that the value proposition is not there. Center store seems like Ralphs products at ...

Re: Walmart 2023 Closings
If you go to GMaps and look at the photos of this store, it feels unpleasant inside. Modern smart phones take pretty good photos so you can't blame the 'dark' feeling and low ceilings just on that. I realized after reading that it was a former Mervyn's, which explains some of the ceiling height issu...
