Retail Watchers

Thankfully there are now more one-hop or one connection flights to/from the Treasure Valley than ever before (maybe?). Also, I would think some could plan a visit to also see Ore-Ida, Lamb Weston, Simplot or the Magic Valley's growing dairy region (ie. Chobani or Lactalis). I think so but many are ...

A fairly common practice with some convenience stores who have fountain drink specials is to not advertise the special at the drink machine, and only put a sign in the window, at the gas pumps, online, etc. The idea is the customer who intended to buy a 32oz drink does not know about the special and...

Wawa is ending 24 hour operation at multiple stores in Philadelphia's Center City neighborhood. Seven out of 12 Wawa stores now close before midnight.

It starts with the mass transit, the office spaces, the chain retailers, the small businesses. San Franc...

Well, it seems to you and others and the media writ large, perhaps we should burn the city down. After all, IT is SO singularly BAD, how can anyone even breath oxygen. Everything there is so horrific, right? :shock: :shock: :shock: You don't need to burn the city down. You need to get control over ...

The supermarket $4 prescriptions brought in a lot of shoppers. Now that those are gone, the pharmacy no longer brings in as many customers. You lose a little on the $4 prescriptions, but you get a shopping cart full of sales. Supermarkets should bring back those $4 prescriptions. It will increase s...

Internally it was announced that CVS is going to stop selling liquor in the "Health Hub" stores. I am not sure how many of these stores actually exist (there are 3 in my area- 2 are very small and ending liquor won't matter; the other is a larger former Sav-On 24 hours and ending liquor wi...
