Re: Nordstrom going to Private Equity?
I know Crossroads in Bellevue had a Nordstrom Place Two store for a while, but I don't think it lasted long. After that store closed it got subdivided into smaller stores. The Hallmark store moved into part of the space along with Party City, a Dress Barn that's now gone and Hand and Stone massage. ...

Re: Barnes and Noble new stores
Another factor to consider is that the Barnes & Noble stores now sell a much larger amount of non book merchandise than they used to. At the Greensboro (Friendly Center) store I've visited I'd say at least 1/3 of the store is now occupied with toys, games and other non book merchandise (for exam...

Re: Sonic Switches To Crinkle Cut Fries
Here in the South it seems like crinkle cut fries are the default style you'll find at most mom-and-pop places, and in particular most BBQ places will have them as a side on the menu (although most meals will come with slaw and hushpuppies if you don't specify something else.) In terms of bigger cha...

Wawa CEO: There is no "Gentlemen's agreement" with Sheetz
https://news.yahoo.com/wawa-president-answers-urban-legend-004642614.html During a recent groundbreaking for a Wawa store in Dauphin County PA (an area that would be considered Sheetz territory), the CEO of Wawa was asked about the so-called "Gentlemen's agreement" that allegedly keeps the...

Re: Barnes and Noble new stores
I never went to the Barnes & Noble in Sandy while it was open, and I believe that it closed some time in early 2023. The store was located next to the Super Target off State Street in a center that had the B&N, an Old Navy, a Buy Buy Baby and some sort of "ninja warrior" gym place,...

Re: Micro Center opening 3 new stores in 2023
And as soon as I post this, I found out that they have had to delay the opening of the Charlotte store again. The email said that the new opening date will be announced "in the coming weeks" which leads me to believe the delay will likely be significant. An anonymous employee on Reddit is ...

Re: Barnes and Noble new stores
Park City is obviously best known as a major tourist area (Sundance, the ski areas and the Utah Olympic Park but it also has significant tourism the rest of the year as well) and Kimball Junction has a large outlet mall that brings people in from the Salt Lake area, and quite a bit of retail that ha...

Re: Red Lobster Considering Bankruptcy Filing
Useless trivia- millennials became the first generation whose go-to food was not Italian. We prefer Mexican… but Gen Z prefers Asian. Tastes are diversifying. Mexican remains quite popular, but it's a bit of an odd situation when it comes to chain restaurants in that there really aren't any signifi...

Re: Kroger will also sell Haggen banner to C&S
I'd also put Bella Bottega (Redmond) and Downtown Bellevue among the nicer QFC stores. Possibly also Crossroads Bellevue, Kirkland Urban (the former Parkplace store which got rebuilt during the redevelopment of that complex), Mercer Street and Broadway Market (Capitol Hill), but Broadway Market was ...
