Re: Downtown Scottsdale Fry's to become a Whole Foods
Looks like it got the pretty Ralph's wall decor from around 15 years ago but at the time they did nothing to change/improve lighting or flooring. https://s3-media0.fl.yelpcdn.com/bphoto/wM6RT5GY_pNeEmzmrgRhKQ/o.jpg So, it's probably a cost/benefit analysis and if WFM was interested, I assume that me...

Re: Nordstrom going to Private Equity?
The reality is that their store real estate strategy changes after opening stores in the Northwest and California. Their original plan was to go into any mall that could support them. When they decided to go national, they changed their strategy to open only one or two large stores per market. That...

Re: Barnes and Noble new stores
That is a point. The latest store in the Portland, Ore. trade area is at Cascade Station, a large box retail plaza near the airport and "anchored" by the only IKEA for hours/miles. It does not have a cafe.

Re: Barnes and Noble new stores
The Park City area has only grown over time and is a regional retail center. I suspect they have good zip code data from their (now free) membership program that shows a lot of people were driving down to Sugar House (nearest Salt Lake City major retail stop once down I-80 from Park City/Kimball Jct...

Shari's breakfast special (April/May '24)
This is available 7 day a week, any time the restaurant is open. By my house, the local Shari's has hung a banner at the intersection: $5.99 for 2 eggs any style, 2 strips of bacon, 2 pancakes In this area, that is probably the lowest priced meal around, and below that of many local "quick serv...

Re: Kroger will also sell Haggen banner to C&S
As noted in my "rebrand" thread here https://www.retailwatchers.com/viewtopic.php?t=4365 , Haggen has only 15 locations remaining, 5 of which are in the Bellingham area. In Olympia, I'm sure that C&S would choose to use one or the other brand exclusively. I would think it smarter to re...

Re: 4/20 Food Deals
A small Portland, Ore. based chain that makes excellent chow (I don't think Las Vegas was included in this promotion), offered up a nice looking hamburger for $4.20. They normally focus on other hot sandwiches, but hey, it works. https://www.instagram.com/p/C59AxAnxZOO/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&a...
