Re: 🛒 Kroger-Albertsons Merger: National Impact
Not sure Wakefern wants much of Shaw's/Star Market. I have to assume they don't want stores in Maine, New Hampshire, or Vermont, and as for the Massachusetts/Rhode Island stores, it's possible Wakefern could be interested but they seem to be tentative about those areas via Price Rite. They've close...

Re: Mcdonald's Seeks To Win Back Low Income Customers With $4 Deals
So my perception here is these $4 McDonalds bundles that give you 2 small items are a very POOR value. Particularly when you can get the same two items (if, as I suspect, these are choices of things like the McChicken, Nuggets, Double burger) for $1 more with small fries and small drink as the $5 F...

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: Target Paid Membership Program?
Back on topic, just talking to friends and family it seems Target has really botched this membership program with inadequate explanation. The incorrect perception circulating is that you will need the paid 360 membership to get what you currently are getting for free. I think this stems from every ...

Re: Sheetz eliminating soft serve machines in stores
It does appear that Sheetz does still have shakes available, so I assume they would still need to have a soft serve machine behind the counter for those. I also see that QuikTrip has soft serve cones/cups and shakes available served from behind the counter, so it's possible Sheetz could move to the...

Re: ALDI to acquire Winn-Dixie
I wonder if they were selling poorly for ShopRite as well - can't seem to find anything on their site (at least not for the local store) - they have the Buitoni (which is $4+), but nothing Bowl & Basket in refrigerated pasta. I'm sure it was a bit more than even the $1.49 when they sold it :) G...

Re: ALDI to acquire Winn-Dixie
Bought some Bowl and Basket Refrigerated Pasta at Grocery Outlet; Product of Italy. Clean list of ingredients and no added salt. Not a bad product for 0.99. It seems to be selling poorly; they started it at 1.49 then moved it to 0.99; they expire mid April and they have quite a bit left. 5 minutes ...

Re: ALDI to acquire Winn-Dixie
Aldi's Announcement said that they would be opening up to 800 new stores. I wouldn't plan on any scraps. But wasn't it noted elsewhere that includes other areas of the USA? Thus not all of those would correspond to the stores they have acquired. I guess they think they can take the various 50k squa...

Re: Stop & Shop closures
Visited another 11 Stop & Shops today -- one in northern NJ and the rest in the Hudson Valley of New York (Orangeburg to Hyde Park). Some updates on what I found. The store conditions vary (both in terms of maintenance and in-stock), but generally stock is thin across the board still. Some of t...

Re: 7-Eleven buying large chunk of Sunoco
They haven't even merged the loyalty programs together yet. They have started to move Speedway over to 7-11 IT/systems but it is a separate system for Speedway, a "copy" of sorts of the 7-11 system. They managed to get it to function the way the old Speedway Radiant system did- Chip at th...
