Re: Ace Hardware?
I’d be curious to compare prices between Big R and CAL Ranch, since they’re part of the same buying group (MidStates Distributing). I'm curious too. That Coastal thing was one of the highest priced stores I've ever seen in this segment so if they are using their approach at CAL Ranch now... it won'...

Re: Jack in the Box & Del Taco moving to 100% kiosks
Jack in the Box was running 2 promotions this weekend: Free "Loaded" Breakfast Burrito with $5 purchase ($6.59 value) Free "Loaded" Tiny Tacos with $5 purchase ($5 value) I tried both of these items. The "loaded" burrito was of the "meat" variety but the egg w...

Re: CA Senate Bill 478- "Junk fees" bill
Previously the credit card networks prohibited surcharges and minimum purchase amounts. Credit card fees became legal due to the Durbin legislation. This politician also fought some years ago to get it so merchants could have a "minimum charge amount" if $10. Durbin is a Democrat politici...

Re: 🛒 Kroger-Albertsons Merger: California Impact
I went to check these San Diego stores today. First off Liberty Station has received light updates at some point including the rectangular aisle hangers which not all repaint lifestyle received. Lighting has been added to the entire store so it doesn't feel as dark and claustrophobic on the "a...

Re: CVS Closing 25 Minuteclinic locations in LA market, leaving only 11
Are all their Minute Clinic closures so sloppy? They still have exterior signs on the ones here, and even stickers on the front doors about the Minute Clinic and Health Hub. Some stores don't even have closed signs. This store had a ton of closed signs, it looks like they got the signs for the entir...

Re: 99 CENT ONLY closing
I've started to carry more cash around due to all the credit card surcharging businesses I encounter now... didn't used to carry any and hate using cash. It is really bad in NV and parts of CA primarily around larger cities with independent restaurants. Don't notice much of it elsewhere yet. I notic...

Guam Donki now open
The new Donki in Guam has opened. It looks fantastic. US Grocery is being supplied by UNFI-Seattle. https://www.villageofdonki.com/ I expect this to be the end for the Guam Kmart. This is also quite a loss for C&S as they supply that Kmart with most of its food and drug. Target needs to go ahead...

Re: El Rancho Supermercado Sold
Heritage is not a good operator AT ALL.
Their chains are nothing to get excited about.
They may think they can recreate Sprouts with these chains, they are in for a reality check.

Menard is strong competition and it is unfortunate they have not expanded further west.

Re: Safeway wholesale in the Northwest?
There was also a period where Waremart, and later WinCo, carried Lucerne brand yogurt. Right up until WinCo started rolling out its own store brand. I believe WinCo still gets some product from Safeway, such as some breads. However, there was also some Fred Meyer and other Kroger brand trays the br...
