Thrifty Payless was actually quite profitable. While it didn't have as good of performance as the old Longs chain did, it was absolutely profitable. However Rite Aid quickly made a lot of changes that definitely hurt the store performance some of which was quickly retracted when Bob Miller arrived a...

They're scamming employers by cold contacting with "potential recruits" too. Ton of employment scams out there on all angles. I guess Aldi can do okay with an expansion into NorCal but I really dislike their poorly run and poorly stocked CA Stores. They should quit trying to have larger st...

Can you list stores and what town they were proposed in?? For example, Best Buy was proposed in Yuba City, but didn't open. Construction permits, city council minutes/planning commission minutes, can be a good resource to find this sort of thing out. But once the openings don't happen it gets burie...
