Retail Watchers

I wonder how that will work given how little parking most of their sites have. I guess you get to sit in your car in a line that starts out in the street (hope you don't get hit idling in the street) and create exhaust for 20 minutes to claim your mobile order. But they're creaming Starbucks and the...

This makes sense that shoplifting would occur in the nursery areas in the evening. They are often poorly lit and have plenty of blind corners. I also suspect the cameras may not be clean/provide for a clear view at all times. It is not unusual for Wal Mart to lock/close nursery after a certain time ...

Never see any traffic in their Sephora shops.

Of course I am perhaps blind and am missing out on the big crowds that supposedly exist.

First off most of these Circle Ks in CA especially NorCal are franchises/dealer sites and they do not even participate in the Circle K app. This is the first problem. After they price increased all of their drinks and made the cup sizes smaller. In SoCal the price was 1.29 and the largest available ...

That Upland store is as good as a present day new build Albertsons/Safeway. This is the floorplan/model they are using on new stores today. Come to think of it I don't think they've opened any of these new builds like this in SoCal... when did they last open a new build in SoCal anyway...? They've o...

I lived in Lompoc. It isn't a growth area like the Temecula Valley is. You and a few others keep thinking this deal is going to close. I find that hilarious. You clearly didn't read what I wrote, which ended with "This is Exhibit A why these mergers should be stopped." However it is fun t...

I buy less and less there each week... I still go into multiple locations multiple times a week to look around... I am just not finding items I'm interested in nearly as often as I was before. And I am "passing" on more and more items because their price is too high (I can get it on sale f...

Yes, same group. I expect someone else will get the Kmart location and Target seems like a logical choice. Wal Mart is probably a better fit but they must not know how to handle Guam logistics. Also I think the building would need to be demolished for them, but Target has demonstrated an ability to...

The other difficulty is in some cases these independent nurseries are not open very convenient hours for the "casual" customer who wants to buy plants in the evening or on a Sunday. Grocery Outlet has 2 stores that go heavy on nursery in my area blocking off part of the parking lot. Last y...

That blue paint is a thing they do in random spots of stores with the Florida interior too, on new builds. In the case of the new Safeway builds in NorCal instead of blue paint they go with a bright red paint.
