Re: Downtown Scottsdale Fry's to become a Whole Foods
The last time I was in the store (2017 or 2018) the decor looked nice, but like a lot of Fry's stores it felt old and worn out. Whole Foods will do well there. The closest one is ~8 miles away at 20th and Camelback and the next one is up at Mayo Blvd and Scottsdale Rd. (~15 miles away). There's als...

Downtown Scottsdale Fry's to become a Whole Foods
The Downtown Scottsdale, AZ Fry's, which is stuck in a Kroger décor package from 15 - 20 years ago, is set to close and become a Whole Foods. The store is closing on May 31. https://www.bizjournals.com/phoenix/news/2024/04/29/frys-scottsdale-shopping-center-whole-foods.html https://media.bizj.us/vie...

Re: 🛒 Kroger-Albertsons Merger: National Impact
It's hard for me to see how Albertsons and Kroger thought this new deal would entice the FTC any better. I know someone said maybe it was simply to get the states that were suing off their backs, but the FTC was very clear that C&S is simply a questionable buyer, and it's going to take actual l...

Re: 🛒 Kroger-Albertsons Merger: National Impact
I wonder if they're making changes to the store banner mix to make it easier for C&S? So for example in California make it mostly Albertsons branded stores that go to C&S if they were choosing between unloading a Ralphs or a Vons or an Albertsons in a particular neighborhood? Obviously they...

Re: Walmart announces major new store opening and remodel initiative
Looks like one of the new Walmart stores is going to be a 171,000 square foot supercenter in Mesa, AZ.

Re: Costco Door Scanning Rolling Out
Perhaps Costco should have express lanes with a 10 item limit and use a cash register without the bulky conveyor belt. This would fit more registers and eliminate the issue with the self checkout not being able to handle more than 5 items. Costco was founded with no conveyor belts, and switched to ...

Re: Macys Closing Stores by 2026
Michigan is sensible as well--leaving in Detroit Southland/Briarwood/Twelve Oaks/Somerset/Oakland. Lakeside/Partridge Creek is the only questionable hole left---Lakeside is already slated for a (senior) housing project (somewhat similar to Northland just 7 years later)...Partridge Creek which is ab...

Re: Macys Closing Stores by 2026
I think Dillards has enough clearance centers in AZ right now with the 2 they currently have. They need one to close, then they can convert that one. They let Desert Sky stay a full service store way longer than I ever thought they would but finally converted that. But I'm not clear what their exit...

Re: Macys Closing Stores by 2026
The Arizona location at Superstition Springs Center is not a surprise. That mall and location was doomed ever since they opened SanTan Village 8 miles (and about a 15 minute drive) away and closer to more affluent shoppers. That mall is the newer "twin" to the since demolished Paradise Va...
