Re: Red Lobster Considering Bankruptcy Filing
Interesting because ten years ago Darden separated Red Lobster and was crucified as if they had sold off their best asset. They must have known something back then, maybe some bad lease deals. Darden is still growing and adding restaurants while Red Lobster has been downsizing and struggling to mai...

Re: Aldi lists job openings at multiple warehouses and nearly 30 stores in Northern California
Also I was looking at the Aldi jobs site and saw nothing whatsoever about a new Northern California division. They aren't looking for District Managers or HR managers or any other signs of a expansion into that area nor the Moreno Valley division. They use the name of the servicing DC to name divis...

Re: Hy-Vee buying Strack & Van Til
Random observation: it looks like the Strack & Van Til on Calumet Ave in Whiting, IN has the same decor package (roughly) as a few stores in my area. Check out the meat department signage compared to Citi Grocer in Elizabeth, NJ (see specifically the rounded metal lettering and the vertical ban...

Re: The backroom at TJs

But none of the TJs I know are that large.

Re: The backroom at TJs
Not my experience, in general. TJs has had this problem forever and it's good to see them being finally sited for crazy backrooms. And yes there have been examples of that kind of mess with other retailers through the years but they were outliers even within the same retailer. The companies I worked...

Re: The backroom at TJs
Funny that this comes up as I happened to be driving around the back of a shopping center with a Trader Joe's last week and I noticed on their loading dock area they had a TJ's branded pop-up canopy with boxes of merchandise (or perhaps and hopefully, store supplies) being stored underneath! Common...

Re: The backroom at TJs
As a former operator of small and uber large stores, urban and suburban, I have not seen stores like this in the backroom. A temporary disaster, okay. But a status quo condition like what I saw first hand is crazy. I have terminated managers that had back rooms like that (if in that condition often)...
