Re: Official: Red Lobster files Chapter 11

I am not surprised about Outback-Carrabba's closing locations.

My son worked for both as a Chef. Total nightmare!

Re: Target Lowers Prices on 5,000 Items for the Summer

In my area I have never received any push back for a price match with Target.

So far.............................

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. No. They're a store with cheaper...

Re: New Albertsons Interior Southern California

So the Unions now allow 3 hour shifts?

Re: Cracker Barrel Price, Menu, Store Size Changes Coming

Given their history of scandals and dated not so healthful food, I would love them to just disappear. Sounds like a typical chain business; scandals and controversial quality of products. No different than Denny's in the early 90's. Depends on the scandal and if that "scandal" is typical ...

Re: Cracker Barrel Price, Menu, Store Size Changes Coming

I've always wondered home much money Cracker Barrel makes off of the "store" area that you have to wade through to get to the entrance to the dining room. It seems that family restaurants have gum, mints, candy and maybe some touristy type city name merchandise at their checkout but nothi...

Re: 99 CENT ONLY closing

Dollar Tree is trying to purchase 58 leases. 37 in CA. Includes Reno and Carson City in my area. Dollar Tree can't run the stores they have here, don't know why they think it is a good idea to add any more. Terrible operator. Ugh. Couldn't it be something better- anything better? Seems there is alw...

Re: Aldi lists job openings at multiple warehouses and nearly 30 stores in Northern California

I can only report what I see around me, however myopic it may be.

Since I do not travel pass a certain radius for food purchasing I understand my perspective is quite narrow.

Re: Aldi lists job openings at multiple warehouses and nearly 30 stores in Northern California

I visited that HMart in Mira Mesa. 🤢🤢🤮🤮 It confirmed all my biases about markets in this category. 🤷‍♂️ As I've brought up before, I think any biases you might have about Hispanic oriented markets would be destroyed by that Costa Mesa Northgate. Even now it is still incredibly busy, and a heck of a...
