Re: Official: Red Lobster files Chapter 11
I felt it was worth adding the business column piece from the Los Angeles Times that is well researched and explains how this happened alongside some of the negative of P.E. ownership - they truly do try to counter-act the "it was the $20 shrimp" argument. https://www.latimes.com/business/...

Re: Pocatello, Ida. Pine Ridge "Mall" bought by Simon
I was thinking there is no way the large Simon Mall group would possibly touch that mall... that mall was nice when the anchors were filled but the reality is its size - it was just flat out overbuilt for the area. ((shrug)) It killed off two smaller malls in the city (Pocatello Mall, today where F...

Pocatello, Ida. Pine Ridge "Mall" bought by Simon
After being part of John Price to their sale to GGP to GGP offloading this to a family ownership, who actually stewarded the property to the best of their control, the center has been sold to what I assume is Simon Malls as SimonCRE. New owners of Pine Ridge Mall confirm Kohl's is on the way Like ma...

Re: Albertsons continues to disappear from WA
I finally had a chance to stop in the Salmon Creek Safeway today that was recently rebannered from Albertsons. I got a mixed signal from the remodel. What I noticed was that they replaced all of the old Albertsons blue-gray tile flooring with new tile, and in perimeter a woodgrain-type of flooring ...

Re: Barnes and Noble new stores
What does this article mean. I couldn't read it because I am too cheap to get a subscription for a newspaper for a place I don't live at. https://www.columbian.com/news/2024/may/13/this-chapter-is-not-finished-for-vancouvers-barnes-noble/ Are they closing that store, and moving to a different locat...

Signature Select gets its own Instagram account
Like Kroger house brands have for years (at least Simple Truth, Private Selection), Albertsons Cos has now started an Instagram for Signature Select.
They have used some mix of paid placements with "influencers" to raise interest of the account alongside a giveaway for Mothers Day.

Re: Red Lobster Considering Bankruptcy Filing
They sure have spun that the "all you care to eat shrimp" meal is the problem behind all of this. From today, I got a PUSH NOTIFICATION from the Los Angeles Times with this headline. Red Lobster offered customers all-you-can-eat shrimp. That was a mistake If that's behind paywall for some ...

Re: Home Chef
I must say that F&E had ready to heat refrigerated meals that sold like hotcakes. Customers seemed to really love them. A close friend of mine that claims he can't even boil water, this was why he went to F&E in Arizona all the time. He now largely subsists off microwave fare from Target or...

Re: WinCo Expands to Renton
If I still lived in that area, I likely would shift to shopping this location. There's a nice shopping center around it with a lot of boxes and options, plus Boeing right there. About once a month we would make a trip to WinCo in Kent (at the time Edmonds or Marysville hadn't opened) and a browse a...

Re: New Temecula Smart & Final
So sad what Kroger has done to Ralphs. A legacy that started in 1873 and was renowned for its top notch and innovative operations around the nation and indeed even overseas. I remember when I was at King Soopers (under Dillon) we used to trade management teams with them and share best practices. I ...
