Beat me to it.
Come shake up the sleepy PNW.
... but maybe we have enough competition on the lower end/house brand stores (WinCo, Grocery Outlet, Trader Joes)?

They have already posted online a bit surveying folks to see what they'd like brought back into the Veggie Grill menu. VG is now back to around 15 stores, mostly along the western side of the country.

Re: In N Out closing Oakland Airport area location
This is the CNN Newswire version of the story that would have gone out to TV and radio stations around the country. So there's at least a bit more context, but certainly not rosy. (and who knows how this would be presented on-air) In-N-Out has never closed a location, until now. It cites crime as th...

Re: In N Out closing Oakland Airport area location
For unknown reasons, our local Fox-affiliated television station decided to broadcast the story about this Oakland In-n-Out location closing. Unfortunately it provided none of the context or information here (typical network TV), and basically made Oakland sound like a crime-ridden horror show. So, ...

Re: Rite Aid closing at least 63 stores
12 more stores closing in today's court docket. Downtown Portland. Read the Google reviews on that store recently. YIKES. That store is in the Pearl District. It should be a cash cow for them. It's a block or two away from being in an ideal location but there are few real competitors in an area tha...

Re: Signs of trouble at Target?
The Kelso store was built while I worked for them. It was their small town format. Bend has a nearly identical store. It was a dumb ordeal to begin with. They figured they could save on construction costs and align the store size with a lower level of sales volume but what you end up with is a Targ...

Re: Rite Aid closing at least 63 stores
Since you said that, I am assuming there are other options closer? Safeway is almost across the street. Walmart is a bit north in town. There's a local pharmacy in-between. Based on what some here have said (I know nothing about pharmacy reimbursements), Hermiston has one large employer (Lamb Westo...

Re: REI Is Opening 10 Stores in 2024
Beaverton is technically a relocation from "The Pearl District" in Portland, Ore. but good on them I suppose, this seems like organic growth.

7-Eleven buying large chunk of Sunoco
7-Eleven will be buying up a large portion of Sunoco convenience stores so that they can focus more on other areas of the business. I feel like we may have already discussed this here, but it seems to be hitting mainstream news sources today.
