Re: Red Lobster Considering Bankruptcy Filing
(All of these are with two sides. I tried to add Smokey Bones (a regional chain in the Southeast) but online ordering was unavailable on their website and I could only find prices with the added Grubhub delivery markup. Costco frequently sells discounted gift cards for Smokey Bones though, so the a...

Re: Stop & Shop closures
Looking closely at pricing in your photos I think they have a pricing problem. While their pricing looks great to me since I am so used to the terrible Northern California prices I see most often, Market Basket is a very difficult competitor and I don't think they are competitive with them on mix o...

Re: Rite Aid closing at least 63 stores
The one thing they are doing that I think will hurt their reputation is the store closing sales with the liquidators. These liquidators are filling the stores up with total junk. Well, filling 4-5 aisles up with this junk. One store had an entire aisle of scrubs in little plastic food storage bags....

Re: Rite Aid closing at least 63 stores
Are any of those stores that look so bad ones that were on the potential closings list but then they worked out with the landlord to keep them? Thinking that the one in this area that has more of this issue (though it did have quite a bit of stuff in the seasonal section, so "new" stuff w...

Re: 🛒 Kroger-Albertsons Merger: National Impact
Reuters says C&S is buying 166 more stores, along with the Haggen banner, and the Signature and O Organics brands: https://www.reuters.com/markets/deals/kroger-albertsons-amend-asset-sale-agreement-with-cs-wholesale-2024-04-22/ Actually, in an article I saw it said that C&S would have ACCES...

Re: Aldi lists job openings at multiple warehouses and nearly 30 stores in Northern California
Also no self checkout. I guess if you only have one employee up front that can't work. They have added self-checkout to many of their stores (especially new ones) in this area, and it works fine no matter how many employees are working on regular registers. The only issue is that they made them all...

Re: Never built, but proposed
There are other oddities as well. Ever seen a Target that has a miniature food department? I'll bet you'll find it's in the same center as a Albertsons (or former Albertsons). Albertsons used to enforce lease restrictions where no other retailer in the center could sell more than a certain amount o...

Re: Cracker Barrel closes Medford, OR location
I suspect that a lot of Cracker Barrels do most of their business during breakfast time (especially on weekends), at least in the South. I know places like Waffle House, IHOP and some of the local dinner chains (like Jake's Dinner and Carolina's Dinner here in Greensboro) tend to have waits for tab...

Re: Arby's Free Sandwich Each Week In April
What is the "Gyro Meat?" Arby's is surprisingly open about their ingredients (many chains seem to have pulled back from this): Gyro Meat: Beef, Water, Bread Crumbs (bleached wheat flour, dextrose, salt, yeast), Lamb, Soy Protein Concentrate, Cereal Binder (corn, wheat, rye, oat and rice f...
