Re: 🛒 Kroger-Albertsons Merger: National Impact
Just my opinion, but judging from history, my opinion of this merger has changed 180 degrees. I think the merger should be allowed to go through with the amount of divestitures Kroger/Albertsons currently want. C&S may not fail as bad as the Haagan debacle, but it will fail. The simple answer is...

Re: 7-Eleven Really Hates Wyoming
Albertsons took back Baker City. Maybe they'll take this one back. I'm very surprised this still ran as USA. The other USAs that 7-11 got were hastily rebranded to Speedway Express, there was something in the sale agreement that 7-11 had to stop using Marathon brands within 90 days of the transacti...

Re: Whole Foods To Open 7,000 Square Foot Stores
Don't know if this was posted before, but it looks like they will call these "Whole Foods Market Daily Shop"....first one in NYC at 1175 Third Ave https://connect.regencycenters.com/blog/whole-foods-daily-shop-1175-third-avenue?utm_campaign=The%20News%20Funnel&utm_content=286132552&...

Re: Albertsons/Vons/Pavilions Cutting Store Hours
Looks like effective last Monday, most Albertsons/Vons/Pavilions will be open 6AM - 10PM. Previously, these stores were open until 11PM and some opened at 5AM. Prior to the pandemic, many were open until 12AM-2AM. It’s only been recently that some locations near Los Angeles saw their hours expanded...

Re: Whole Foods To Open 7,000 Square Foot Stores
They have some of these small size stores in the bay area already but they are standard Whole Foods banner and just as described in locations where a full size store cannot fit. They probably figured out these little stores get far higher ROI so they will go forward and expand them. Of course the n...

Re: Rite Aid closing at least 63 stores
A little off topic, but the Rite Aid in Mammoth Lakes used to be Safeway store before it relocated down Old Mammoth Rd years before Vons took over.storewanderer wrote: ↑March 2nd, 2024, 10:46 am Mammoth Lakes...? Very high volume and only other pharmacy is Vons. W...t...f...

Re: Gelsons Laguna Beach closing
[ I wonder how Stater Bros. would do in this space? Congrats, Gelson’s. You’ve given Kroger a possible monopoly in Laguna Beach assuming the 10% chance the merger goes through. I imagine the cost of the lease was huge. Maybe Ralphs could use this opportunity to move from their tiny store a little c...

Re: New Ralphs/Kroger Interior
Santa Maria has Pak N Save decor, right? I have never seen that decor otherwise on a Vons. There's a nice Albertsons (former Smiths) in town that at one point had Jewel decor, not sure if it has been remodeled out. Odds are the Vons is owned real estate and breaks even or makes only a small profit ...

Re: New Ralphs/Kroger Interior
I think I found something worse than this Ralphs interior in Anaheim Hills. Go to Google Maps and go to the Save Mart in Clovis on Herndon. This is a former Ralphs. Save Mart did a cheap wall repaint when they took over. They later did a more formal remodel around 2021. Plenty of before/after photo...
