Re: Alternative Retail
The problem with many stores in today's outlet malls is that they are often just a regular store with the word "outlet" slapped on the outside with no difference in pricing or quality. Once they lose the concept of "outlet" people shop elsewhere.

Re: Pocatello, Ida. Pine Ridge "Mall" bought by Simon
It is interesting how times have changed. That was actually a pretty nice mall when it opened. Back in the 1980s, my parents would often postpone shopping until we took a trip to the Pocatello area, which happened a few times a year. One huge reason was that Boise at the time (before 1988) did not h...

Daiso to open in Vancouver, WA
Daiso is opening in Hazel Dell:

I think this is a former Tuesday Morning location.
It will be interesting to see if they expand south into the Portland area.

Re: WinCo Expands to Renton
What in the world would they expand to? They seem to run a very standardized operation with stores that pretty much are all the same size, layout, assortment etc. They already have too much square footage even in their busiest stores, and I believe they could expand faster if they simply were willi...

Re: WinCo Expands to Renton
I shopped at that Fry's a fair bit before they went downhill, I think the building and location would actually be a pretty good fit for a WinCo store. I know they have taken over big-box sized properties in the past (the Everett store, for example, was originally a HomeBase) and that one might be a...

Re: Safeway wholesale in the Northwest?
There was also a period where Waremart, and later WinCo, carried Lucerne brand yogurt. Right up until WinCo started rolling out its own store brand.

Re: Ace Hardware?
You can find things at an Ace store that you can’t find at the Blue and Orange boxes. There is also more help there than the big boxes. Plus a lot of people prefer going to a smaller store than dealing with the hordes in the big box DIYs . I am going to agree to disagree. There should be a greater ...

Re: Subway Sale to Roark
Given the relatively small size of some Subway locations, I could see some potentially converting to Baskin-Robbins. The layout of the counter space is somewhat similar, although coolers obviously would need to be swapped out. I can't see a Subway co-branding with Baskin-Robbins unless it is a large...
