Re: Vons for Business?
When I mentioned time sensitivity, I was talking more about the orders for shelf-stable and hardy produce type stuff (imagining orders for coffee/break room/etc plus a bag of apples and a 5# bag of tangerines for the fruit bowl on the counter) rather than meal catering (which does need to happen on-...

Re: Vons for Business?
anything to add a stop for the delivery truck---particularly for offices there is likely less sensitivity to exact timing (anytime in the afternoon versus narrow windows for individual orders)

Re: Macys Closing Stores by 2026
Michigan is sensible as well--leaving in Detroit Southland/Briarwood/Twelve Oaks/Somerset/Oakland. Lakeside/Partridge Creek is the only questionable hole left---Lakeside is already slated for a (senior) housing project (somewhat similar to Northland just 7 years later)...Partridge Creek which is abo...

Re: Albertsons/Vons/Pavilions Cutting Store Hours
Vons Palm Springs moved back to 10p close...I just presumed it was a typical end-of-season move.

Re: Rite Aid closing at least 63 stores
Thanks for posting the Free Press article. TBH the tone of the article kind of matches how the reception for the closing RA stores seems to have been for RA throughout Michigan--it's not "oh noes....RA on it's way out"; rather "oh, the local RA is closing, here might be why, the next ...

Re: Rite Aid closing at least 63 stores
I wonder if there might truly have just been a bookkeeping/accounting error (pulling the severance funds out of the payroll account or something odd like that). In the times I've gotten severance pay, it seems like though it's been run through the payroll system the accounting is quite different (fi...

Re: Rite Aid closing at least 63 stores
Drove past Desert Hot Springs CA in late morning---at least 5 cars lined up at drive thru (I would guess this store does a big drive-thru business).

Re: 🛒 Kroger-Albertsons Merger: National Impact
A small example from SE Michigan. In various local FB groups near where we live in SE Oakland County, people will throw out requests to find slightly esoteric groceries (produce, meat, dry groceries---think starfruit/dragonfruit/walnut oil/Mr. Pibb/...) or slightly ethnic groceries (Middle Eastern, ...

Re: Target Paid Membership Program?
That last item is a key---I am ordering stuff online for in-store pickup because I can get the Circle discounts (where I cannot if I shop in-store--I refuse to use their app or print out a barcode after tagging the coupon).

Re: Macys Union Square closing
We've had some good luck with men's big and tall at Franklin Park/Toledo at Dillards. They seem to have a reasonable selection of better and designer at that store (including long neckties---surprisingly difficult to find).
