Re: Kroger relocating store in north Plano
Maybe HEB was trying to get the new site. It could be a move to keep competition out. The existing store looks great but that interior is being aggressively remodeled at this time so it seems stores with that interior are up for remodel (or in this case, relocation). With how long Kroger takes to b...

Kroger relocating store in north Plano
Interesting news on the DFW Kroger front this morning: Dallas Morning News Article (Paywalled) Kroger has announced that its store at 9700 Coit Road in Plano will be closing at a yet to be announced date and will be undergoing a "major relocation" to another site nearby, with all staff mak...

Re: The present and future of Randalls
I've been informed from someone that the Randalls in Sugar Land will start liquidation within a matter of days (this location also suffered a minor fire recently)...3346 Highway 6 South. The Randalls stores in Austin and Houston seem to be going through this SHLD-like liquidation pattern, where the...

Re: Mall Pet Stores & Chain Pet Stores
I don't want to derail the discussion, but will say that part of the decline in these types of stores in malls has to do with rumors that some animals are sourced from puppy mills etc. I do know a couple people who have purchased puppies there which have turned out to be great dogs. My one experien...

Kroger moving into Austin and San Antonio markets via delivery
https://www.dallasnews.com/business/retail/2022/03/04/kroger-moves-into-h-e-b-territory-with-online-deliveries-in-austin-and-san-antonio/ This move is interesting to say the least, as Kroger previously operated in both markets years ago and got run out of town. These markets are also solid HEB terr...

Re: The present and future of Randalls
Visited a Randalls store in Austin today (Ben White), which was a small store that was built as a Safeway many years prior and had been Randalls since 1994. A few observations: - The hot wing was 3/4 full but otherwise fully operational. - Did not see Remarkable Card being pushed or promoted anywhe...

Re: Albertsons announces strategic review of company
The FTC will rubber-stamp just about everything these days. They wouldn't have any problems with Whole Foods or if Albertsons decided to dump the entire Texas stock to H-E-B. Mostly the problem with WFM is it's a very different operation that's not easy to integrate with their core markets and not ...

Re: Kroger introduces "debit" card
They have actually offered this card for at least 5 years or so, it’s just very poorly advertised.

Re: Dead/Dying Malls in Your Area and Predictions
As for me, the local mall is Post Oak Mall, which has seen better days. It opened in 1982 with a second phase in 1985, and when it was complete it had Foley's, Bealls (TX), Sears, JCPenney, Dillard's, and Wilson's. None of the anchors were particularly big, the Foley's being the biggest (about 100k...

Re: Macy's Closing More Stores? (Later in 2022 or in 2023?)
Storewanderer is correct, this is the list of remaining neighborhood stores. However, there are a few versions of this circulating around online with some minor differences, the most common being that Marley Station appears on some. Supposedly, the reason that the bulk of these closing have been del...
