Re: Do Google Reviews indicate a store's performance??
I am wondering if Google Reviews are an indicator of how a store is performing?? Does the Best Buy in Park City having only 735 reviews versus the average store having about 2,000 reviews indicate that store's underperformance. Or OfficeMax in Tupelo, Mississippi only having 126 reviews despite bei...

Re: 99 CENT ONLY closing
I think the liquidation has been very successful. Many of the SoCal stores have only general merchandise remaining, with everything left marked 80% off. I don’t think the general merchandise was ever a hit…. 50-80% off sales were fairly common. This stuff was added in the last few years - high marg...

Re: Nordstrom going to Private Equity?
They've probably hit a tipping point with the Rack stores where they can't add much more made-for-outlet stuff, although they are more interesting to visit than Marshall's. The problem for all these places is that outside of the bubble that occurred around COVID because of bottlenecks, there is les...

Re: Rite Aid closing at least 63 stores
Maybe the Kiefer Rite Aid WAS busy but it isn't anymore... it has self checkout. Two of them are shut off entirely and one was just closed. I was in the store for 20 minutes and nobody bought anything yesterday. A couple people used pharmacy. There was a handwritten sign in the entry that said "...

Re: Kroger will also sell Haggen banner to C&S
If C&S is actually serious about owning and operating their own supermarkets, as I think I saw on a different thread, maybe they should bring Bob Mariano? He would know how to operate a Haggen. Plus he could improve QFC. While Carrs is basically a Safeway, his expertise wouldn't hurt! Also nobo...

Re: Aldi lists job openings at multiple warehouses and nearly 30 stores in Northern California
The newer stores for these companies, especially H-Mart and 99 Ranch, are built and merchandised in a manner you might find surprising. In fact I think it could be argued their newer stores are superior builds to anything that the conventional chains are putting up. They seem to be applying all the...

Re: Kroger surpasses H-E-B and Walmart for #1 market share in Houston
I have to back pesudo3d up on this. The local rags have already paraded around this data and will likely have some trickle-down influence. Target has also built some large stores like Katy and New Caney, which have been lauded as being "huge" when, in reality, they're smaller than our exi...

Re: Marianos Naperville, IL Email Coupon
I've received Smith's coupons by mail, despite there not being a Smith's for >200 miles of Phoenix. I don't recall whether I received them after making a trip to Albuquerque and shopping at Smith's. This has happened to me multiple times back when I received paper coupons from Kroger in the mail. I...

Re: Aldi lists job openings at multiple warehouses and nearly 30 stores in Northern California
To be fair most Asian grocers are a messy hodgepodge of whatever they think people may buy too... it is usually difficult to find items and this includes the chains especially 99 Ranch, SF Supermarket, and some H Marts everything is just thrown around. There are obviously no planograms. Seafood City...
