Re: Kroger to merge with Albertsons?

Ever since this merger talk started my Pavilions has been almost Grand Opening every day. Understand that this store, previous to merger talks, was always in pretty fantastic shape (best in a 5+ mile radius). Also, there have been many "Suits" visiting the store since these merger talks. ...

Re: TransformCo (Sears/Kmart) Official Thread 2023: Finally the end?

The listing has been updated. For purposes of this list, I am limiting listings to Transformco stores. Sears stores in Mexico, Bermuda, Kuwait, and elsewhere are operated by other companies and I'm treating them the same I would treat Kmart Australia, as seperate entities licensing the names since t...

Re: Kroger to merge with Albertsons?

I could support the idea of letting Kroger take regions they don't really currently operate in (including NorCal and Chicago in that bucket) and in the case of serious overlaps like SoCal, OR/WA, AZ, CO, NV, ID, spin off ENTIRE divisions including a banner/related distribution/manufacturing of Safe...
