Re: New Albertsons Interior Southern California
I do know that Albertsons is now also using a new decor for ACME somewhere in South New Jersey that I saw online somewhere, but I can't quite pinpoint what store is now using it. Albertsons is also introducing new decor for Balducci's as well even though I can't imagine they want much to do with th...

Re: Stop & Shop closures
Another link - just for those who can't read the app due to lack of subscription (plus, we won't mention that they managed to put the word supermartket in their link ;) ). But anyhow, quite a bit of commentary on the APP Facebook page (I saw that and then checked here to see it was already noted ;)...

Re: Stop & Shop closures
Can't say this is a big surprise, but Stop & Shop just announced the closure of the Jackson, NJ location (which I was just at in my last round of visits). The store was well-stocked and mostly clean, but absolutely deserted. Some thoughts: I am not the least bit surprised about that closure, esp...

Re: Stop & Shop closures
Looking closely at pricing in your photos I think they have a pricing problem. While their pricing looks great to me since I am so used to the terrible Northern California prices I see most often, Market Basket is a very difficult competitor and I don't think they are competitive with them on mix o...

Re: Stop & Shop closures
The inconsistency is still very strange. Where is the site visit data from though? 50,000 visits per month is probably great compared to a couple of Save Mart units in my area. Placer.ai , and you can search for a store or an address. Just glancing through some Save Marts, it looks like there's an ...

Re: Stop & Shop closures
Here's my latest blog post about the S&S stores I've visited. The upshot: stock seems to be better? Or maybe just wildly inconsistent. Stores seem to mostly be in decent condition, except for a few, but they all are relatively low-volume -- and they all get lower traffic than their nearby compe...

Re: 🛒 Kroger-Albertsons Merger: National Impact
Reuters says C&S is buying 166 more stores, along with the Haggen banner, and the Signature and O Organics brands: https://www.reuters.com/markets/deals/kroger-albertsons-amend-asset-sale-agreement-with-cs-wholesale-2024-04-22/ My gut reaction is that this isn’t going to satisfy the question the...

Re: Hy-Vee buying Strack & Van Til
Random observation: it looks like the Strack & Van Til on Calumet Ave in Whiting, IN has the same decor package (roughly) as a few stores in my area. Check out the meat department signage compared to Citi Grocer in Elizabeth, NJ (see specifically the rounded metal lettering and the vertical bann...

Re: Review: King Soopers
I was actually at that store (visiting family in Colorado) back in January. I thought it was quite nice, and the Whole Foods a block away is really nice too. And agreed, it's very much like the other mainstream Kroger stores I've been to -- even not that different from the single Mariano's location ...
