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...

Re: Kroger will also sell Haggen banner to C&S

The Haggen name simply does not mean what it once did. The stores would be better off rebranding.

Re: What's the history behind outdoor and indoor PlayPlaces??

Boise, Idaho at one point had a "McDonaldland Park" behind the location on Orchard Street (the first to open in Idaho) The park is long gone but traces are still visible on Google Maps.

Re: In-N-Out opening in Washington

A former Rite Aid in Vancouver, WA may soon become an In-N-Out: https://www.kptv.com/2024/04/24/in-n-out-seeks-out-second-spot-sw-washington/ It will be interesting to see how much further north they expand. Seems like they would do well with areas such as Woodland, Kelso, and Chehalis where there a...

Re: Advance Auto already closing CA stores?

Advance has been operating oddly in WA & OR also. Locally, an Advance store (converted from Carquest)closed, and about a year or two later, local chain Baxter Auto Parts became affiliated with Carquest but retains the Baxter name. Some areas, such as Vancouver, WA and Portland, OR now have Advan...

Re: Shari's breakfast special (April/May '24)

The last few time I have eaten at Shari's, things seemed to be a bit "off" Everything from mediocre food & service, to things such as burned out and/or mismatched colored light bulbs over tables (which I presume are either LED or CFL) as well as landscaping and exteriors being neglecte...

Re: Red Lobster Considering Bankruptcy Filing

I generally have had good experiences with Red Lobster. While their prices can seem high at times, they aren't really out of line at least in my area. They do have good specials. There are a lot of locally owned restaurants that I have attempted to support, and really leave a lot to be desired in fo...

Re: Decor check - Rite Aid

Wow. Based on what I have seen around Portland, I thought the last of the Pay 'N Save and PayLess Drug interiors had finally all been remodeled. Even the one in Tigard, which retained the PayLess interior for a LONG time after becoming Rite Aid, has been updated.

Re: Red Lobster Considering Bankruptcy Filing

Making Endless Shrimp a permanent menu item was certainly a factor. That should be something offered only during certain times or maybe just once a year.
