HOT Portland Division Safeway - Albertsons ad
For a change of pace, the ad effective for March 20 - March 26, 2024 has a lot of decent offers. Highlights Fridays still remain a "Frenzy" here instead of $5 Friday like it was for years (even pre-ACI), but a 12 oz. bag of organic coffee at $4 is a very :!: low price. Many items in the a...

Re: 7-Eleven Really Hates Wyoming
Albertsons took back Baker City. Nice renovation! Looks really good after they were doing work in September 2023 (when Google drove through). Nice to not have it mothballed. I suppose Oregon's looser self service rules probably helped. Store is open 6 am to midnight, gas 5a-11p. As it is part of Po...

Re: Fast Food chains focusing on apps while menu prices skyrocket
All this chatter begs the question: Why do people still go to these fast food places? They don't. They go to In-N-Out instead. Look at the lines there. Have you seen the Chili's commercials? They say "have you seen the fast food prices? It's like they want you to eat at Chili's instead." ...

Re: Nordstrom going to Private Equity?
From what I've heard, their pickup/delivery stuff is all store-based, it's not directly out of a warehouse, so an employee has to go in, find the item in question (if it's in stock) and then package it up. (I had a coworker several years back who used to work at a Nordstrom.) Ship from store is an ...

Re: Albertsons/Vons/Pavilions Cutting Store Hours
Hours in Portland and Seattle divisions and Intermountain seem to largely remained the same, competing with Kroger (Fred Meyer) and Walmart at 6 or 7 am opening until 11 pm or 12 am closing. Downtown Portland closes at 10 pm. One store I am familiar with was closing earlier for a time but is back to...

Re: Salt Lake City picks up another urban grocery
2023 update. Apparently this store did close in 2022, which was probably partially related to changes in consumer habits alongside that part of Salt Lake City being "in transition." The store is re-opening now though, read all about it here: Lee’s Market is set to reopen in Salt Lake City....

Re: Wendys Dynamic Pricing
This is a tie in to their major sponsorship of the NCAA mens' and womens' college basketball tournaments "March Madness." Hopefully it sticks out all the way until early April for the finals.

Re: SLC WinCo joins Teamsters
Vesting used to be 5 years in, so this is an example of how even an "esop" company has made some changes to retain (?) younger workers. Long ago, I had a friend working for this company and she stated that mysterious things always seemed to happen to folks at her store(s) right before they...

Re: Best Yet brand in Hawaii
This comes from C&S California. They are the main wholesaler to Times and others. There is also Essential Everyday stuff there somewhere. My understanding is it actually gets there from UNFI Seattle. Franz bread is there too (as a frozen thaw and sell item) from the same supply chain. Cool, I w...
