Re: 🛒 Kroger-Albertsons Merger: California Impact
I went to check these San Diego stores today. First off Liberty Station has received light updates at some point including the rectangular aisle hangers which not all repaint lifestyle received. Lighting has been added to the entire store so it doesn't feel as dark and claustrophobic on the "a...

Re: CA Senate Bill 478- "Junk fees" bill
...They can get really creative. I expect "to go" fees to become more common in restaurants. In reality they should give you a "to go" discount since you aren't using their space/labor.. like other countries... but whatever. Perhaps hotels can start with "extra person"...

Re: rue21 filing for bankruptcy, closing all stores
I didn't realize they were still in business. Granted, I'm not their target demographic, but I thought they went out of business years ago.

Re: Kroger "Boost Member Price"
What a surprise. They keep believing that Amazon and their paid Prime membership is going to put them out of business (with inaccurate comparisons based on total revenue despite the fact that Amazon's food revenue is probably only 5% or less). They see Costco and Sam's taking a larger and larger sh...

Re: Downtown Scottsdale Fry's to become a Whole Foods
Fry's fuel has a location roughly halfway between this store and the one on McDowell and Hayden Rds, FWIW.

Re: Wegmans Cheapening Decor
...What they are great at is merchandising and making a plain space into something great where the product tells the story. Beautifully merchandised produce, ample displays of meat and prepared foods, superb impression of freshness, everything is impactful and intentional. I don't think they spend ...

Re: 🛒 Kroger-Albertsons Merger: California Impact
What do you think of the very interesting Vons at Liberty Public Market? Concerned that could land in the hands of C&S. Not sure they could wrap their heads around the concept. That's a cool store! C&S would destroy it though I believe Vons could do more with it. For those who don't know, t...

Re: Downtown Scottsdale Fry's to become a Whole Foods
The Phoenix Business Journal ran a story about the closure. This quote from the owner of the shopping center says everything you need to know about this and 75% of the other Fry's stores in Phoenix that were built longer than five-ish years ago: "Discussions already in motion to recruit Whole F...

Re: Downtown Scottsdale Fry's to become a Whole Foods
The last time I was in the store (2017 or 2018) the decor looked nice, but like a lot of Fry's stores it felt old and worn out. Whole Foods will do well there. The closest one is ~8 miles away at 20th and Camelback and the next one is up at Mayo Blvd and Scottsdale Rd. (~15 miles away). There's also...
