Re: Rite Aid closing at least 63 stores

At least they let them make manual orders. Many chains have the ability on the handhelds but they don't actually fulfill them as everything is ordered by algorithm and corporate managed. Warehouse systems like JDA basically do all of the ordering based on whatever parameters they're programmed for;...

Re: New Temecula Smart & Final

I trust you over the deli people. Long story short Murrieta deli has reduced ordering of many Boars Head meats and cheeses which irritated me greatly since I live just a few minutes from the store. Heck the proximity of the store was one of the reasons I chose the house. Asked why they're missing s...

Re: Aldi lists job openings at multiple warehouses and nearly 30 stores in Northern California

Anyone can crudely draw a square and put “Aldi” inside of it, but I did find it interesting that Aldi is specifically mentioned on the site plan for this project in South Sacramento / Elk Grove. https://www.bizjournals.com/sacramento/news/2024/05/13/windflower-farms-sustainable-housing-retail.html ...

Re: Amazon Fresh, take 2

I agree- they should make some mix changes and rebrand Fresh to 365 Whole Foods. It will need some pretty serious changes. Again. I'm not sure how many more major remerchandisings these stores can take.

Also kill the Just Walk Out and Dash Carts; just end both. Self checkout is enough.

Re: Springfield Private Label

I see Springfield regularly at Vallarta, Superior and other stores that were formerly supplied by Unified before the sale to Supervalu. I'm not sure if they are slowly phasing it out and replacing it with Essential Everyday. That would be a shame, as "Springfield" sounds better in my opin...

Re: Signature Select gets its own Instagram account

They need to run price promotions on this brand and actually price it/operate it like a store brand. As in, a brand that costs less than name brands.

I'm sure this Instagram will be forgotten as soon as they have a management change in the private label department, which seems to happen quite often.

Re: Daiso to open in Vancouver, WA

Sounds like they sell the same crap as Five Below or the Dollar stores…only in an Asian style. They're a little different. Very little food and no cleaning or paper product type items. Over the years more and more of their product is from China but they say it is "Japan Quality." Their st...

Re: McDonald's PlayPlace History

Elko was demolished and rebuilt and doesn't have it anymore. Over time the insurance and cleaning costs associated with having this equipment seem to be not worth it for some locations. In Reno area, there are about 4 locations with modern indoor playplace and they do attract families, birthday part...
