Re: 🛒 Kroger-Albertsons Merger: National Impact

Apparently the plan has been tweaked to add another Texas and Louisiana store to the list (doesn't say which one from what) as well as "increased distribution capacity, provisions for expanded transition services and an additional dairy facility." https://973thedawg.com/ixp/36/p/kroger-alb...

Re: Subway Sale to Roark

Some Roark owned concepts that might fit (I didn't realize how many of these they owned); Auntie Anne's, Carvel, Cinnabon, Jamba, McAlister’s, Schlotzsky's, Seattle's Best Coffee (when did SBUX give that up?), Baskin Robbins, Dunkin Donuts, Jimmy John's. I think any of these would be an upgrade fro...

Re: 🛒 Kroger-Albertsons Merger: National Impact

The trial with the Washington AG has been OK'd by the courts and is now set by September. If Kroger was hoping to get this wrapped up by election day that's looking less and less likely. https://www.kulr8.com/news/court-rules-antitrust-lawsuit-against-kroger-albertsons-merger-can-proceed/article_5cc...

Re: Kroger surpasses H-E-B and Walmart for #1 market share in Houston

This is not unlike how Wegmans does things where they heavily push private label, typically at strong prices, and have few national brand options. The nice things I have heard about Wegmans revolves around their perishables, not the center store. H-E-B's perishables are better than Kroger's I think...

Re: Kroger surpasses H-E-B and Walmart for #1 market share in Houston

I have to back pesudo3d up on this. The local rags have already paraded around this data and will likely have some trickle-down influence. Target has also built some large stores like Katy and New Caney, which have been lauded as being "huge" when, in reality, they're smaller than our exi...

Re: Kroger surpasses H-E-B and Walmart for #1 market share in Houston

This article just multiplies the average for the company by the store count, but we do know Target has invested a ton in growing the Houston market and surrounding suburbs with SuperTarget locations dominating the store count. So again skewed results. Huh? In the past ten years, Target has built ju...

Re: Barnes and Noble new stores

I just learned this week that Barnes and Noble is planning on opening a store in Kimball Junction (Park City), Utah. I think this is really cool since I am a fan of Utah and love to visit Utah. But I am curious about retail data that demonstrates Park City's ability to support stores that usually r...

Re: Kroger surpasses H-E-B and Walmart for #1 market share in Houston

This seems like a large swing. Kroger has some Marketplace units scattered around Houston... they need more to compete with HEB. Those are the only of their stores that are at a level to properly compete with most HEBs. I didn't really get the feeling Kroger was "going for the sales" aggr...
