Re: 🛒 Kroger-Albertsons Merger: National Impact
Kroger and their Marketplace stores haven't really had a lot of activity in the last five years. Anecdotally, they didn't move a lot of general merchandise, and the continued shift in Fred Meyer to be more grocery-focused doesn't bode well for Kroger Marketplace. They're still building them though,...

Re: Official: Red Lobster files Chapter 11
When was this/what did these units sell? I wonder if the company founder started these separately at some point? https://www.referenceforbusiness.com/history2/73/Darden-Restaurants-Inc.html It appears the corporate name became Darden in 1995 after a spin off. Mr. Darden retired in 1984 and died in ...

Re: Official: Red Lobster files Chapter 11
Let me rephrase: Darden Corp. used to have restaurants with Darden on the FRONT outside. Do they still have restaurants named Darden? When was this/what did these units sell? I wonder if the company founder started these separately at some point? https://www.referenceforbusiness.com/history2/73/Dar...

Let me rephrase: Darden Corp. used to have restaurants with Darden on the FRONT outside. Do they still have restaurants named Darden? I don't think they ever did. (If you can provide some proof of that I'd love to see it.) Cheddar's used to own another restaurant chain called Fish Daddy's, and whil...

Re: Official: Red Lobster files Chapter 11
Thai Union Group is the name of the company. They were an equity partner when Golden Gate owned them and became the sole supplier of shrimp. Their influence on management decisions is being investigated as part of the bankruptcy but if you look at the bigger picture, the private equity ownership wa...

Re: McDonald's PlayPlace History
I am currently working on a directory of all the Burger King, McDonald's, and Carl's Jr playgrounds that have ever existed. If you are interested in working on it adding more locations that aren't listed, please do. It is a heavily under researched subject and a time consuming task to type in all t...

Re: Ahold Delhaize Strategy Day
How do they intend to do Stop & Shop closures? Sell them off? Close them and put them on the market? Convert a bunch to Food Lion?

Re: Official: Red Lobster files Chapter 11
It has nothing to do with the shrimp. Ridiculous media interpretation trying to distract from the real issue the private equity rape of the chain. Must have assigned the politics reporters to this story. Tying up contracts has a lot to do with these things, in this case, Red Lobster's majority owne...

FTC takes its first L in the case. Not sure how this is going to affect anything.

Re: Alternative Retail
I have commented on the collapse and failure of the outlet mall concept, which seems to be dying faster than regular malls but not capturing the attention of the media since they are fewer and further between. The primary cause in my opinion has been a lack of actual first quality product that is j...
