Re: Stores that never were: Sacramento edition
Since Nugget Markets is headquartered in Woodland I expect Wal Mart was kept from expanding in an effort to protect the Nugget Store and the Food 4 Less Store there (franchised by Nugget). Safeway never got into Woodland in the 2000 era expansion around Sacramento area either; they had a site but i...

Re: Vons for Business?
Saw this social media ad and wondered if it was still April Fool's Day. Why would they think businesses would pay inflated retail? SmartSelect_20240404_133841_Facebook.jpg There are also links for business.jewelosco.com and business.shaws.com. I don’t know why ACI is getting into business delivery…

Re: Ralphs Fresh Fare Santa Barbara remodel
Gelson's in Santa Barbara is a divested Albertsons from 1999, it was a smaller late 70's/early 80's style store. Department placement sort of gave it away years ago but at this point you'd never know. Gelson’s Santa Barbara was originally an A&P (not a “centennial” store), then Shopping Bag, th...

Re: 🛒 Kroger-Albertsons Merger: National Impact
Ahold minus Food Lion would have been a far better merger partner for Kroger than Albertsons also. The better Ahold stores are really a good fit with Kroger in my opinion. And I think Kroger could fix Stop & Shop the same way they fixed Pick N Save. I assume Food Lion is non-union? If so, I'd t...

Re: Oakland Taco Bell units: Drive Through Only, No Cash Accepted
The situation has gotten progressively worse since COVID. I have no idea how this will get fixed. The "tough on crime" to be elected city leadership, if they actually get elected... will need so many resources to fix the issues. Also will they fix the issues or just spread them out to oth...
