Re: Ralphs Fresh Fare Santa Barbara remodel
The decor in the two mentioned Smiths is not at all what is being used at any Ralphs. I also agree it's a very good looking store, I have spent several hours walking around the Henderson one. A superior operation in every way to Ralphs. Smiths executes better than a lot of Ralphs and does it over a...

Re: 🛒 Kroger-Albertsons Merger: National Impact
I still think they have this backwards out west… SpinCo based on Fred Meyer/Smith’s/Ralph’s/Fry’s/King Soopers would probably be the best thing. I’m not quite sure what they do in Utah and Montana though - possibly keep the Smith’s name there? In this scenario, Kroger gets all the Safeway locations...

Re: McDonald's and Krispy Kreme
I have tried the Krispy Kreme donuts at Walmart that are supposedly delivered every morning. They seem decently fresh. Maybe there would be a delivery truck driving to every McDonald's in the morning. I assume that McDonald's would heat up the donuts either like the chocolate chip cookies or the ho...

Re: Whataburger expanding to North Carolina
Panda Express is a franchisee on that one.
They aren't participating in mobile ordering or the Whataburger app.
Looks very legitimate other than that. Unlike those Las Vegas White Castles...

Re: 🛒 Kroger-Albertsons Merger: National Impact
I doubt C&S is out, I think this just gets them more stores. They have a signed purchase agreement and until FTC formally denies them as a buyer I do not see them going away. Great deal for C&S. If I were them no way I'd be "out" with the bargain price... If C&S does go away I ...

Re: Rite Aid closing at least 63 stores
It looks like they've reached a bankruptcy settlement. Hopefully they exit rapidly. We should hear confirmation of this today or tomorrow. Interesting that the news reports specifically of settlements with both the DOJ and McKesson. My only concern is if that means they are going to have to cash ou...

Re: 🛒 Kroger-Albertsons Merger: National Impact
They are telling CO that the number of divests is increasing. They think this will get CO to drop its lawsuit against the merger. https://www.msn.com/en-ae/money/companies/colorado-s-bid-to-halt-kroger-albertsons-merger-set-for-august-hearing/ar-BB1kwqUz "An attorney for Kroger, Matthew Wolf, ...

Re: Trader Joe's adding another Salt Lake City, UT store
The Pep Boys service operations are not closing, in fact they keep buying independent Midas and other franchises and converting them to the brand. The retail operation was killed under Carl Icohn. Most of the California stores went to Advance Auto Parts who just split the building in half and took ...

Re: Restaurant Fees
Perch (rooftop bar in downtown LA) now has a 4.5% "security fee". Did you ask about what that fee was and if it was optional? I am curious how they would describe the exact use of a "security fee." I probably wouldn't have asked at the end of the visit to a bar to the server who...
