Given that there has already been at least one former Haggen Albertsons reopened as a Safeway in Washington (Burien), I wouldn't be surprised if the rest of the names flipped. The thing I'm worried about is that there's still a discrepancy in the merchandise mix of the two stores, and the conversio...

The Limited is closing all stores. However it looks like their web site may stay online and selling based on this and other articles.

I'm curious if any of you live near a Kmart that has no immediate competition from Wal-Mart or Target. I used to shop at the Herndon, VA Kmart for a single HBA item for my Dad that they sold in a bulk size that neither Wal-Mart or Target sold in a bulk size. The Herndon, VA Kmart is 15-20 minutes fr...

This is an interesting adjunct to the store closing story:

I'm very curious to see what will happen to the Richmond Martins stores that were not sold to Publix. In the articles I saw about the divestitures Ahold said that they would continue to operate the stores pending a sale to other operators. Thus far I haven't seen any word of who these stores would g...

There doesn't seem to be a Shoprite owner who wants to take a shot at the Washington DC market as much as I would love one of them to come down here. Not sure if they would do that, but the corporate part of ShopRite could run stores if they wanted to (as they already do in a few areas, like much o...

I've always thought that Farm Fresh would be a better fit for Publix geographically. However, there is an article on SN that SuperValu would like to hold out hope that a buyer to its stores would keep it as a wholesale partner, the likelihood of that happening to any of its brands (save for maybe H...

If Supervalu put Shoppers up for sale who would be buying? Shoppers does have large stores inside the Beltway so they might make sense for someone like Giant or Safeway. Giant could take the Seven Corners store as Safeway has a nearby location. And Safeway could take Potomac Yards since Giant just b...

Seems like Albertsons didn't bother trying to save this one. The months-old cheese items...that's just crap store management, pure and simple. It should be noted that Georgetown Day School purchased the Safeway site in 2013. The purchase was intended to allow GDS to build a single campus instead of...
