Re: Bojangles coming to Los Angeles
We will see how many actually open. This chain has become a joke. The one in IL doesn't even sell bone in chicken only has chicken tenders. Their new menu does not include bone-in chicken. It's tenders only. A location opened near me in a Love's that operates the same way. Spoiler alert - it's just...

Re: Red Lobster Considering Bankruptcy Filing
I think the chain would be in a stronger position had Darden kept it. Darden knows how to operate restaurants and make money. Food may not be great but they are good at managing what they have and good at brand management. Seafood pricing hasn't inflated to the extent of other categories the past co...

Re: Rubys "Shake Shack" opening in Reno
The developer is the former Raising Canes franchisee who developed out all of Nevada and Arizona for Raising Canes. These guys are very strong operators and their ability to build those two states out for Raising Canes, become the largest franchisee, then sell the u units all to corporate was quite...

Re: Decor check - Rite Aid
Wow... that is indeed the Pay N Save decor...
Funny how it sort of matches the current Rite Aid colors too.

Re: 99 CENT ONLY closing
Store in Reno is now giving all customers the "employee discount." All purchases are an extra 20% off. This isn't advertised anywhere and you find out when you go to pay. The receipt says "employee ID 111" whatever that is. I'm not sure what the extremely rude cashier did to make...

Re: Valley Center Albertsons canceled
There are government grants available to tribes to open businesses like this so it is possible they will get funding to build an entire "market" for free. These grants are often used for gas stations and smaller businesses. I found it interesting the article explicitly stated this will NOT...

Re: Aldi lists job openings at multiple warehouses and nearly 30 stores in Northern California
The freestanding west coast RIte Aids are around 18,000 square feet. That should be sufficient size for an Aldi but as ClownLoach points out you have the issues with the loading dock and other issues since those are not legitimate "grocery" buildings. Aldi continues to lease larger sites i...

Re: Phoenix grocery market share 2023: Fry’s gains share, Walmart share drops
I expect Wal Mart's store growth program to help them in Phoenix. Fry's has kept up well with new stores and a few new Safeways have opened too. When did the last Wal Mart open? Unfortunately, they have quite a few stores that are absolute dogs. During their next round of remodels they need to do m...

Re: Hy-Vee buying Strack & Van Til
If Hy-Vee is committed with its more southerly expansion, it may take a long time before they move beyond this chains current footprint. They might be aware enough of this that they set their sights on Indianapolis, instead, as it would be a link to their southern expansion. I think you hit it here...

Re: Review: King Soopers
I was actually at that store (visiting family in Colorado) back in January. I thought it was quite nice, and the Whole Foods a block away is really nice too. And agreed, it's very much like the other mainstream Kroger stores I've been to -- even not that different from the single Mariano's location...
