Best Buy to Discontinue Physical Media
Not sure why this thread hasn't been made yet... Best Buy is discontinuing their DVD and Blu-ray collection. This change takes effect as of Q1 2024, across Best Buy's physical and online operations. It follows after their 2018 discontinuation of the compact disc format. This does leave questions, as...

Re: How is Meijer thriving in Detroit when Target/WM can't keep urban stores open?
My only prediction is more obvious, Meijer is Michigan-based and has been in the Detroit area for much of its existence, therefore they understand the city and can adapt to marketing well.

Re: Kroger to sell 10 Harris Teeter stores in D.C., Virginia and Maryland to Piggly Wiggly owner
Kroger recently (within the last week) rolled out delivery with Harris Teeter (part of Ocado) in the Washington DC area. Really begs the question why they're investing in this if they basically want to discard Harris Teeter in the area anyway. (Unless the merger falls through, of course, then it's ...

Re: Forum bugs thread
Not a bug per se, but I find the new design (animated board links) to perform rather slowly.

Re: TransformCo (Sears/Kmart) Official Thread 2023: Finally the end?
Guam Kmart has sold its pharmacy to something called "Super Drug." The pharmacy is remaining inside the store. Also it appears "Super Drug" is owned by the Pay Less Foods chain in Guam. Also the Pay Less Foods Chain in Guam has a little 3k square foot natural foods store called ...

Re: TransformCo (Sears/Kmart) Official Thread 2023: Finally the end?
Their Facebook page made it look like they were steadily receiving merchandise. https://www.facebook.com/westwood3202/ I guess they needed to receive items to have a successful liquidation sale.
