Re: New Temecula Smart & Final
I wonder if the gas station in Murrieta makes them any money. When Kroger watches sales for stores they exclude fuel and pharmacy since those areas aren't considered "controllable" by store management in driving sales. So the gas station may help the overall picture in Murrieta. Do any of...

Re: New Temecula Smart & Final
So I said this and then walked into my usual perfect Aldi store today in the afternoon. First time I've been there in a month. I am pretty sure the manager was moved and replaced. Might as well be a different store and it reveals some of @storewanderer concerns. First off, whoever the new manager i...

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. They were allowed to hand key the PLU from the book. I just thought it was bizarre that they are not using ...

Re: New Temecula Smart & Final
It was NCR hardware but with a touch screen and 10 key pad, but I didn't recognize the software. Primarily white and light blue interface with a touchscreen 10 key in the middle of the screen, that seemed a bit redundant to me. The cashiers were using the physical keypad. Produce PLU issue is reall...

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...
