Re: 🛒 Kroger-Albertsons Merger: National Impact
The Reuters article doesn't mention that the Safeway banner will be licensed to C&S in Arizona and Colorado. The Kroger website mentioned that! But here in Washington, I think that IF the merger happens, Haggen and QFC kind of belong together. I wonder if the Haggen banner will stay in King, Pie...

Re: 🛒 Kroger-Albertsons Merger: National Impact
It seems to be that this merger would have had a better chance if they had divested to other retailers? Like in California, divesting to Save Mart with a rebrand of the stores to Lucky. In Washington, Oregon, Idaho and Alaska, divesting QFC and Carr’s to URM, the owner of Rosauers would have made se...

Re: 🛒 Kroger-Albertsons Merger: National Impact
At least as of January 5th, the merger is still alive as Kroger, Albertsons and the FTC are still talking. Here’s the latest!

Re: Pattison Food Group And Their Stores In The US
They may want to acquire more stores. Perhaps Town & Country would be a good fit? Maybe URM/Rosauer's?

Re: Pattison Food Group And Their Stores In The US
I have been in their Save-On-Foods, Urban Fare and Price Smart Foods stores in British Columbia. Save-On is close to a Safeway in terms of product mix and operation. They acquired Safeway on Vancouver Island as Sobeys already had Thrifty Foods. Urban Fare is similar to Metropolitian Market. Price Sm...

Re: 🛒 Kroger-Albertsons Merger: National Impact
This might be a crazy thought but if the merger doesn’t happen, do you think Albertsons might try to buy Rite Aid out of bankruptcy? I’m thinking that looking in retrospect, Rite Aid shareholders wouldn’t be holding worthless stock right now had they allowed the Albertsons Rite Aid merger to happen!

Re: 🛒 Kroger-Albertsons Merger: National Impact
It has been shown that Albertsons is ok with operating multiple banners in a region. Puget Sound for example has Albertsons, Safeway and Haggen. On the Kroger side of things it also has QFC and Fred Meyer. In the past, it seems that Kroger likes to have just one banner. But in the Puget Sound exampl...

Nordstrom Flagship Downtown Seattle
I’m a Washington native and very familiar with the Downtown Seattle Nordstrom. I’m also familiar with the current issues of Downtown Seattle. I have feared Nordstrom closing the Downtown Seattle store and moving offices to Bellevue and designating the Bellevue Square store as the flagship! But accor...

Re: Modesto A&W closes due to ADA lawsuit
I could see the reasoning for the lawsuit if the restaurant refused to accommodate. But it sounds like they were more than willing to try to help a handicapped person! Too bad A&W corporate couldn’t help them!
