Re: New Ralphs/Kroger Interior
...Fry's essentially is two chains. The 25% of the store base that is newer with 85,000+ square foot stores with warehouse ceilings and a massive assortment of product seem to get a lot of love. The 75% of the stores with drop ceilings and a high variety of layouts (depending on original owner/oper...

Re: Simple Truth "Organic" redesign
I meant the plain "Simple Truth" label, although many of those items (particularly meat and eggs) have "Natural" prominently stated on the label, such as https://www.kroger.com/product/images/large/front/0001111087023 If I were Kroger, I would keep "O Organics" as the ...

Re: Woolworths could return to UK
Yeah.....................not really. I'm pretty old and nothing about DG resembles Woolworth. Like you, I remember Woolworth's. They were not like Dollar General nor were the like drugstores without a pharmacy. Woolworth was more like a scaled-down K-Mart. They also operated Woolco stores that were...

Re: Walmart 2023 Closings
... of these Supercenters is a former Home Depot Expo Design Center. At the most the store is 80,000 sq feet. Walmart cut back in areas outside food, HBA and electronics to give more space to the food section... Sounds a lot like the Encinitas, California location. There wasn't anyplace for Walmart...

Re: CVS Closing Dozens of Pharmacies Inside Target
The other thing is it seems like when CVS got involved, Target got a lot more aggressive with ensuring every new store had a pharmacy. It seemed like prior to that they didn't always include a pharmacy in their new stores? Maybe I am wrong on this. I haven't visited a lot of Targets outside Califor...

Re: CVS Closing Dozens of Pharmacies Inside Target
I had hinted that the relationship was not great... I wonder if Target will attempt to get back into the pharmacy business and this will be the beginning of phasing out CVS? It's tough to get back into the business at this point though. The Target pharmacists I know said that they lost a lot of bus...

Re: Sprouts Operations
I would love to see the data on how much they actually sell in the vitamin/supplement department. What could be the sales per square foot in that part of the store? So much space dedicated to this category. The labor to stock these mostly small packages is quite different than that of other departm...

Re: Gas Station Restaurants and Food
...Sometimes the standards are excellent; it's been 5 years or so since I visited New Jersey where I went to several Wawa stations that served great food. It was nice to get a bowl of hot soup as a snack in the freezing weather. I wish we had operators like that in California. If you ever find your...

Re: Frys Signature Marketplace-Tatum/Shea- Remodel
