Retail Watchers

I'd bet some of the stores in SoCal will become "new" Sav-on stores given that Albertsons wants to keep the name alive there. They've definitely got the food aspect okay.

If those locations lacked a pharmacy, then Target would decide whether or not to include a pharmacy. If a Target does take over, the store would see a big increase in traffic. The traffic would probably be enough to support a CVS Pharmacy. I don't know if Target would then contact CVS and tell them...

What if at least a few of those CVS stores actually lacked a pharmacy...?

I imagine the stores in the strip shopping centers will be many of the closures...most of those are former Skaggs/Osco/Sav-on sites with more floor space than CVS needs Your quote immediately made me think of the former Katz City in Springfield. Realistically, though, I'm thinking that the victims ...

Things just continue to get worse at Sobeys. At this point, I can see them doing mass closures or trying to sell Safeway Canada back to Albertsons. Probably the former, since I doubt Albertsons wants it back.

The VONS at 5630 Lake Murray Blvd in La Mesa, CA re-opened on 3/8/16. It was a VONS, became a Haggen, closed, and was re-opened as a VONS. Prior to being Haggenated it had the first generation Lifestyle interior. After being re-converted it has the second generation Lifestyle interior with a few ad...

G&G Supermarkets were supposed to reopen as Safeway sometime in mid-December, presumably to be able to catch the Christmas shopping season. Unfortunately, Safeway doesn't put the "opening dates" on their website anymore unless it's a 1-2 days away (it seems). EDIT: Just called the stor...

When trying to Google the address, I found that Safeway's career website lists Produce Manager, Assistant Deli Manager, AND Bakery Manager for these stores, so one of three possibilities exist: - The store across the street will not be closed (the most unlikely of the three but due to the merger, th...

So why I wonder are they putting the Sav-On name on a store again now? Maybe they are trying to lure customers into the store by using the familiar Sav-On name. It also keeps the trademarks active rather than risking having the names taken from under them based on abandonment clauses. It looks like...

Office Depot and Office Max coexisted less than a mile apart where I live until about a month ago when Office Max closed. Staples is not present where I live and does not have as big of a presence in the region. What I am getting at is that with this, Sears/Kmart, Safeway/Albertson's, and I am sure...
