Re: ALDI to acquire Winn-Dixie
What goes in the Midwest (or Germany ) often doesn’t do well in the South, especially not having access to certain brands/foods that Aldi won’t stock (No Duke’s mayo? No Blue Bell ice cream?) I don't know about other areas, but at least here in the Northeast, I see a few regional items stocked, so ...

Re: ALDI to acquire Winn-Dixie
Ugh that name *cringe* I guess they had to compete with Target's silly 'Good and Gather' or ShopRite's 'Bowl and Basket'.storewanderer wrote: ↑March 9th, 2024, 12:07 am
It is discontinued. You will see a new brand in the coming weeks. The new brand is called "Know and Love."

Re: ALDI to acquire Winn-Dixie
I heard the SE Grocers private label has been discontinued but it is being replaced with some other label, not Aldi brands. So maybe they'll be around for a while longer. Just looking at a Winn Dixie circular for this week online, it is full of 'SE Grocers' items, including a whole page of non-food...

Re: Stop & Shop closures
It looks like a significant amount of the meat is case ready? I'm not sure about Stop & Shop, but Giant PA ditched in-store butchers several years ago...everything except a few items like ground beef are case ready (and Ahold did have their own meat processing/packaging plants but as I think wa...

Re: 7-Eleven buying large chunk of Sunoco
It looks like 7-11 isn’t going to drop the Speedway brand anytime soon. One of my nearest Speedway stations seemingly closed up overnight last week and the property was stripped of signage, pumps, everything! (Someone forgot to tell Amazon apparently as there is still a running pickup locker sittin...

Re: Target Paid Membership Program?
There are also gig work apps like "Field Agent" currently available that are intended to generate exception reports for retailers and reduce the need for District Managers and even Store Managers... Apps that tell customers to look for certain items and take pictures of them in a store, o...

Re: Rite Aid closing at least 63 stores
When they were first posted, it was suggested that it was one of the tax prep companies, as they might pre-schedule people to hold such signs as advertising as they get closer to the date for filing taxes - n Interesting possibility. I know Liberty Tax services (I still think thats a pretty ironic ...

Re: Target Paid Membership Program?
No mention if RedCard members lose the free shipping but I assume they do as that was always supposed to be a limited time promotion. According to a blurb in my Target app, Free shipping is still there for RedCard (now Circlecard. Target surely loves changing names of things!) Of course a lot of it...

Re: Best Buy not satisfied with big earnings, more layoffs and closures
And the same exact story can be told about the appliance business, Best Buy vs Home Depot, Lowe's, Costco etc. There is zero margin in computers, the only prayer of a profit lies in high margin accessories and warranties which again they laid off the people who up sell those items. Sometimes I hone...
