Retail Watchers

Cranberry Twp is a growing area that has a lot of big box retail where the Turnpike crosses I-79. https://www.cbsnews.com/pittsburgh/news/wegmans-in-discussions-to-open-first-store-in-the-pittsburgh-area-report-says/ Pittsburgh could work for them--Giant Eagle is a has a lock but is basically just ...

Basically it's fluffy things. Anything actually strategic like a specific outcome for Stop & Shop would not be discussed in such a venue. It's nice to know info for investors, but these types of calls will never get into explicit financial performance. If I was an investor and I had to hear ack...

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? A friend of mine started working part time at Food Lion which has caused me to give them a second look. Ahold-Delhaize still has some scattered Food Lion locations ...

Some of the change has probably come from Wegmans needing to adapt to get into the higher density developments like Reston and Tysons Corner that have opened in the past couple of years. Also, I have to wonder how much cost is a factor too. Construction costs and labor. Although the handmade signs ...

I've always wondered home much money Cracker Barrel makes off of the "store" area that you have to wade through to get to the entrance to the dining room. It seems that family restaurants have gum, mints, candy and maybe some touristy type city name merchandise at their checkout but nothin...

Oddly, the new ACME in East Norriton doesn't have that decor.

Well, they are spending money creating another food brand :roll: https://corporate.walmart.com/news/2024/04/30/walmart-launches-bettergoods-a-new-private-brand-making-elevated-culinary-experiences-accessible-for-all Looks like a rip of Good And Gather. I wonder if Sam's Choice brand is on its way o...

There is something about going to Walmart for health care that just doesn't line up for me. People think of Walmart for cheap stuff (although not so much since all the price increases), marginal store experience and so-so quality. That's not something that people would equate to being able to provid...

The Greatland program seemed very short lived---they replaced some old Richways with these stores in Atlanta and none became Super Targets. I don't think I've ever seen a Super Target in the Northeast; they've built quite a few regular Targets in the DC area, esp. 10-15 years ago but I can't rememb...
