Re: Publix entering Louisville, KY in 2023

My knowledge of Louisville is a bit dated, but I recall that the Winn-Dixie division had some pretty strong east side neighborhood-type stores (smallish but modern stores, affluent area) which would be the model (brought up to modern standards) where Publix might do reasonably well. Schnucks didn't...

Re: Publix entering Louisville, KY in 2023

Publix given the small store size they go with might be safe. But I just don't see much opportunity for Publix in Louisville. It doesn't feel like a market that Publix will do well in. There is too much better competition on the way or already there. But maybe there is space for them as a "nei...

Re: Publix entering Louisville, KY in 2023

Publix opened its first store in Kentucky in Louisville on Wednesday, 10 January. Is this their first meeting with Meijer? Wasn't Hy Vee going to open in Louisville too? There is going to be fallout in Louisville... and it won't be the entrenched Kroger. Hy Vee vs. Meijer will be interesting in tha...

Re: Ohio AG threatens CVS with probation

What is Ohio's laws and administrative laws regarding pharmacy staffing? States may allow a pharmacist to have up to a specific number of technicians and interns at the pharmacy location during pharmacy hours.

Re: ALDI to acquire Winn-Dixie

If CVS is closing its acquired Target Pharmacy locations in Target, I wonder what the future holds for acquired Schnucks Pharmacy locations in Schnucks.
