Re: Dick's Sporting Goods best quarter ever
https://www.cnbc.com/2024/03/14/dicks-sporting-goods-dks-earnings-q4-2023.html?&qsearchterm=Dicks%20sporting%20goods Dick's reported their best results ever came in this past holiday season. Seems like they're taking over a lot of mall space and getting a lot out of it. They're also benefiting ...

Fast Food chains focusing on apps while menu prices skyrocket
A trend I am noticing in my area, is that various major chains are heavily pushing people to use apps for pretty much all specials, while the pricing of menu items continues to climb, in some cases, to a point where prices are more than an item is worth. Several are also discontinuing mailing coupon...

Re: SLC WinCo joins Teamsters
At one point, it was common to see people picketing outside of WinCo stores in the Portland/Vancouver, WA area. They were picketing about the fact that WinCo did not have a union contract. This seems to have stopped as I have not seen those pickets in years. I am not sure if the picketers were from ...

Re: Rite Aid closing at least 63 stores
Rite Aid 5413 in Boise is the former Marina Safeway at 1515 W. State Street. This one has been remodeled quite extensively on the inside and seemed like a good performer, and has been there a long time. Kinda surprised to see this location pop up on such a list.

Re: Digital Coupons
The whole card thing has caused me to shift a lot of shopping to WinCo where they don't have all these gimmicks. If only WinCo could get their random out of stock issues under control and offer better dairy and produce so I could avoid Fred Meyer altogether.... WinCo does offer digital manufacturer...

Re: Macy's Buyout? Private ownership bid
On the flip side, they should ramp up openings of their smaller format Macys much more quickly. A great example. I'm sure the downtown Salem, OR store will close since it has seen little investment. However, they should at the same time open a smaller, replacement store at Keizer Station to blunt t...

Re: Wendys Dynamic Pricing
This is one of the dumbest ideas I have ever heard about. The potential is there to do things like raise prices during lunch hour and other busy periods, raise prices when the dining room is open, raise prices to push people to use an app/loyalty program, etc. Wendy's seemed to be doing ok, and has ...

Makes you wonder if Albertsons trying to buy Rite Aid is in the works again....
