Re: Pavilions - Pasadena, CA

Pavilions Place came into existence with Vons purchase of Safeway in the 80's. They rebranded the smaller Safeway (and Pantry) stores in affluent areas to Pavilions Place since they could not fit all of the amenities the large Pavilions carried. They were basically a small format Pavilions with a l...

Re: New Temecula Smart & Final

I don't think it looked like that on the screen. It was very plain looking with minimal light blue color. The receipt is slightly different too although it does sort by category and quantity.

Re: 🛒 Kroger-Albertsons Merger: California Impact

The Ralphs pulls from a large area of people who prefer them to Albertsons or Stater. It's the only Ralphs around, the others are 10+ miles away. I know people in Fallbrook who drive to this Ralphs (they work in the area but prefer Ralphs over other chains). Remember there are 8 Albertsons/Vons bet...

Re: Valley Center Albertsons canceled

Doesn't necessarily exclude a future chain grocer. The Tribe could be the landlord and develop the site for another chain. Stater Bros? Stuff like this happens all the time. There are chains that have stores that "sit" in proposed development for years and then something happens resulting...

Re: 99 cents only calls it quits
