Re: 🛒 Kroger-Albertsons Merger: National Impact
Who compiled the list? It was the LECs (Local Exchange Carriers)for the phone companies. Remember the Safeway SoCal division, at the end, included SanDiego, Las Vegas, and the entire central valley and coast of California. If you are suggesting the list I provided is wrong I have the initial list f...

Re: 🛒 Kroger-Albertsons Merger: National Impact
Just my opinion, but judging from history, my opinion of this merger has changed 180 degrees. I think the merger should be allowed to go through with the amount of divestitures Kroger/Albertsons currently want. C&S may not fail as bad as the Haagan debacle, but it will fail. The simple answer i...

Re: Crucial times for Shoppers
Looking at Shoppers (short of them announcing that they'd sell off large chunks of the remaining chain) would not be a good way to judge UNFI's plans. It would be Cub Foods. If they suddenly announced that they'd do away with the Cub Foods franchise program that'd be a sign that they're going to ma...

Re: Crucial times for Shoppers
I don't know this area at all. Is this an area Safeway would want these stores in? Looks like they're not in that area, and they bought two Shoppers stores a couple years ago. But those were both in the Baltimore/DC area and that's quite a distance away, and I don't know that Safeway would want mor...

Re: Meanwhile in Canada, they're building Malls
The weather is probably also a factor. There is higher demand for indoor malls in places where it is too cold to walk around outdoors for a portion of the year. That was always supposed to be the saving grace of malls, but it doesn't work that way----look at all the dead enclosed malls we have rega...

Re: Crucial times for Shoppers
Looks like three out of the four Shoppers opened within the past year are already closing ; all within St. Mary's County. I wonder what is happening here. Is the local McKay's chain Shoppers superseded returning? Too much investment and too little profit in return? That is interesting because it mi...

Re: Amazon Fresh, take 2
I also think the dirty secret as to why it works so well in those environments is because of the pricing model. If someone grabs a Coors Light and the system accidentally rings up a regular Coors, who cares? The pricing is the same for a beer, a candy bar, etc. This seems to be the perfect solution...
