Re: Target Pricing - San Francisco vs. other areas
I wonder how much of this is attributable to theft, versus other factors making San Francisco a high-cost area of doing business such as real estate, taxes, wages, etc... I'm always hesistant to point price increases at a sole contributory cause unless the company outright states that "we've r...

Re: Macys Closing Stores by 2026
None of the PA stores are surprising at all...they are all dead or quickly dying malls. I stopped in the mall in Altoona a few years ago and just from peeking in the Macy's, it seemed to be very, very lightly stocked.

Re: JoAnn-"restructuring"
Yep, I've seen a handful of people in my social media feeds today reacting to the news by mentioning how they are going to miss JoAnn or "at least Michaels and Hobby Lobby will still be around." Let's face it though, how many companies, especially retail companies, survive Chapter 11 long...

Re: Target Paid Membership Program?
Reno Costco has tried to expand but hasn't had much luck. There used to be an Office Club/then Office Depot next to it and they tried to get that for years to expand but couldn't; eventually it went out of business but for whatever reason they couldn't get it. Out of curiosity, I pulled this up on ...

Re: Target Rolls 10 item "Express Self Checkout" Nationwide
I really hope Costco sees what Target and Walmart are doing and finally put some restrictions on ours. (I was stuck watching self checkouts today for a couple hours and it is always an absolute nightmare. I had one big group with an over-packed cart and told me they were doing three different transa...

Re: Stop & Shop closures
All kinds of moves happening around with Ahold, I'd thought I throw this out there as well...Giant (PA) is ending its Giant Direct delivery service in the Camp Hill, PA area with delivery now being outsourced to Instacart. Note that the Camp HIll store, which it appears the operations were based out...

Re: ALDI to acquire Winn-Dixie
I have concerns about them carrying more name brand items and also here a few years ago they started allowing credit cards as payments, whereas in the past you could only use a debit card. I know that cost has to be passed along to customers; I would have rather had them stay debit-only to keep the...

Re: ALDI to acquire Winn-Dixie
What goes in the Midwest (or Germany ) often doesn’t do well in the South, especially not having access to certain brands/foods that Aldi won’t stock (No Duke’s mayo? No Blue Bell ice cream?) I don't know about other areas, but at least here in the Northeast, I see a few regional items stocked, so ...
