Probably the same as they did last year, is go through the rounds throughout the first part of the year, with each division "bringing out their dead". According to my list year, it WAS the Northwest and ACME that went first. My predictions are that the divisions spared last year, like Shaw's and Houston, will see cuts, and ones that got a bunch of it, like Denver, won't be as affected. I can see Randalls maybe losing 1-2 (one in Austin and/or in Houston), and cuts gained from the merger-induced overlap in Arizona, Texas, and the Northeast. Conversely, overlap created from Haggen or other acquisitions won't be touched at all.storewanderer wrote:http://www.tri-cityherald.com/latest-ne ... 46689.html
Another one gone, Richland, WA Albertsons. This was a very old store. Probably expanded in the mid 90's. Had blue gray decor but may have gotten a cheaper remodel by Supervalu toward the end.
Albertsons in Eastern Washington is sure hit hard so now what about other regions?
EDIT: In response to your second post, I see that Shaw's WILL be closing (just that one?), but I already added the closing ACME (the Philly ACME is just a rumor).
