I believe that was called "Fred's" and didn't work out long-term.

Here they are a $6 and $7 option now. :oops:

I won’t be using it again.
You must be lucky. In our locations locally, no one is ever at the register / menu board. Good luck!

Re: *** TESTERS NEEDED! ***

Not sure if it is considered a bug, but in the Damaïo theme, your personalized colour swatch will not carry over to another computer/browser. So far after taking a short vacation from the board (and day to day), I came back to Scaffold turned on and I didn't care for it at all. It is very traditiona...

Re: Kroger Marketplace 2.0

I was in what I thought was a recently opened Kroger Marketplace in TX, but I see it opened in 2016, but had the new Kroger "marketplace" sign out front, and it still had the typical Marketplace clothing and full kitchen place departments. Was this south of Dallas on the way to Louisiana ...

Re: Kroger Marketplace 2.0

Not to completely drag this off topic, but shout out to storewanderer for those Fred Meyer Marketplace interiors. They do look like the Fred Meyer decor of the time with a "southwest" flair (kind of like the purple instead of red sign). My local Fred Meyer moved into a built store in 1997...

Re: *** TESTERS NEEDED! ***

So far enjoying Damaïo. I will swap to one of the others to play around. Definitely less buggy than what was here. I was also able to modify the colour swatch which was nice.

Target announcing closures in Portland, Ore.; Seattle, Wash.; California; Harlem

These are 3 examples of the "small format" Target we've seen the chain shedding recently. Of course, one of them, they (or their landlord) recently spent millions of dollars to move from mostly the 2nd and 3rd floors of the Galleria building to only on the 1st floor. I guess the regular CV...

Re: C&S new stores in the PNW

The QFC brand may do more harm than good, especially in Oregon where it is little known. I've been checking out the recently renamed/remodeled Albertson's on Barrow's Road in Beaverton. It's far busier now as a Safeway than it ever was as an Albertsons. The remodel freshened the store up but the me...
