Re: 🛒 Kroger-Albertsons Merger: National Impact

HEB has pretty strong pricing. I did notice a lot of variances in pricing between stores but for the most part HEB is a tough priced store and will absolutely go to battle over price. They are priced much stronger than Publix or Hy Vee- two chains that really do not go to battle over price. Kroger'...

Re: Target Paid Membership Program?

Interesting report. Other countries as well like India, Pakistan and others. Self reporting, self auditing and such are problematic for me as well as advance notice even by government regulators. Walmart not being in the news about this lately does not mean it is not happening, plus no one can argue...

Re: Oakland Taco Bell units: Drive Through Only, No Cash Accepted

Appears to be a recent change. This Diversified franchisee owns most of the Nevada Taco Bells. During COVID they had tons of excuses about lobby closures, kept flip flopping open then closed again then open then closed again, weird hours like open from 1 PM to 5 PM, some locations not opening at al...

I can only say that I get this info from "debunking" sites and the jury is still out on all this.

Re: Whole Foods To Open 7,000 Square Foot Stores

Looking at this WFM concept, it is so small and so limited that it is not even really comparable to Fresh & Easy. It is a health food convenience store. It is less than half the size of F&E. As far as small format stores go, yes the market got really excited about them and everyone wanted t...

Re: Stop & Shop closures

These photos are troubling. It is well past the first of the month, no holidays, and odd scattered out of stocks. This seems similar to how A&P did things before it closed divisions. Inventory levels got really low, like drugstore style, all over the store. They stopped caring about things like...

Re: Rite Aid closing at least 63 stores

This Reddit thread is HIGHLY concerning. They basically promised a block of laid off employees (not clear exactly how many- it appears this impacts the block of corporate office employees laid off some weeks back at a minimum) severance, then took it out of the account after the direct deposit occu...
