Re: Five Below - Self Checkout Not Allowed
This at Five Below is not quite as bad as Dollar General who completely killed the self checkout software entirely and deactivated the lanes, but close. Off topic, but was DG supposed to get rid of self checkout everywhere? I popped into one back on May 5th and it was still open and people were usi...

Re: New Albertsons Interior Southern California
Right, most of East Norriton's decor is left over from ShopRite, but I imagine since the store is being renovated now, it'll be changed. Yep...I happened to pop in here a few days after I made my post a few back and it has indeed had a more thorough remodel. Unfortunately it is still the 'Quality B...

Re: New Albertsons Interior Southern California
I guess it doesn't make any sense to dump a bunch of money into an immediate remodel if the facility you are moving into is serviceable. All they would have to do is cover up ShopRite logos if there were any around and go from there. Isn't there a Weis somewhere in this general area that was a Gena...

Re: New Albertsons Interior Southern California
Oddly, the new ACME in East Norriton doesn't have that decor. It's been a minute since I've been in that location (I visited a few days after it opened), but the store pretty much reused all the left-behind ShopRite decor except for a few touches here and there. I think they are waiting to see how ...

Re: Wawa CEO: There is no "Gentlemen's agreement" with Sheetz
I heard rumors that Wegmans stayed out of the Philly area for years due to a 'gentleman's agreement' with Genuardi's (pre-Safeway ofc). Once Safeway took over, Wegmans did seem to swoop in, so maybe there was some truth to that.BatteryMill wrote: ↑May 1st, 2024, 4:28 pm
I do wonder if gentlemen's agreements even exist in retail.

Re: Walmart to close Health Care Clinics
Pure speculation here but Walmart has been very slow last couple of months. In fact I find myself buying very little there right now with their sky high food prices that are in desperate need of a rollback. I've never seen so many piles of merchandise next to price scanners before... So many people...

Re: Walmart to close Health Care Clinics
Only thing I find odd is that this is a very, very rapid "about face" from Walmart. Here is an announcement from just last month about a massive expansion underway for the program. So a hair less than two months from announcing the doubling in size of the program they pull the plug? https...

Re: Store Evacuations
If every Costco is like the one I work at, there is a big bullhorn megaphone along with other emergency supplies/procedure documents kept in the office, but yeah, there is no PA system or speakers of any kind throughout the building.

Re: Stop & Shop closures
Also more supercenters (good number of SuperTarget and Walmart Supercenters). There are SuperTarget stores in NJ? I didn't think there were really any in the Northeast at all. They did build several 'Greatland' locations that were maybe designed to morph into the full grocery-heavy format, but I do...

Express files for bankruptcy, plans to close nearly 100 stores as investor group looks to save the brand
Longtime mall retailer Express filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on Monday, but a group of investors led by brand management firm WHP Global is looking to save the company by acquiring it. Express, whose portfolio includes its namesake banner, Bonobos and UpWest, said it will close 95 of i...
