Re: Valley Center Albertsons canceled

It's going to be an independent market run by the tribe. They already own Horizon Fuel Center https://horizonfuelcenters.com/ and are licensing the brand to other tribes https://tribalbusinessnews.com/sections/economic-development/14172-fueling-growth-san-pasqual-band-looking-to-offe-its-horizon-fu...

Re: First New JCPenney In 8 Years Opens

Brookfield essentially brought in JCPenney because they wanted to fill out their Anchors at Willowbrook Mall. Brookfield and Simon essentially bought JCPenney to keep their anchors full nationwide. If JCPenney closed it would have bankrupted Brookfield, Simon, and others as mall rents are contingen...

Re: Target to discontinue physical media?

Target has actually confirmed what I stated above, that they're going to move catalog titles to their website and continue to operate only a few thousand titles. They said they will continue to stock new releases in stores, with additional inventory during times like Black Friday where you see big s...

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: Rite Aid closing at least 63 stores

How is it that stores that still had the RA1 design continued to exist (or still continue to exist) in 2023 and 2024, while newly remodeled locations get or got shut down before them?? What is the story behind them of why they didn't get remodeled?? Were they going to close, but sales continued to ...

Re: Target to discontinue physical media?

So once again, the topic here is overarching and that makes it inaccurate. I've dealt with all forms of physical media for two decades. First we have the actual topic at hand, which is catalog CD and DVD/BD titles. Catalog means not new releases but rather titles that have been out for months, years...

Re: Target to discontinue physical media?

Have the likes of Netflix, Apple Music, Xbox/Playstation stores finally been able to supplant DVDs, CDs, and physical video games in entirety? For all intents and purposes, yes. If Best Buy couldn't hang onto physical media, why would Target be any different? CD's? What are those? Movies? I probabl...

Re: Rubys "Shake Shack" opening in Reno

There was one of these in the Las Vegas airport inside one of the nicer terminals; it used a different logo from the main chain on its signs, but then once you got inside everything had the chain's logo. It was run by HMS Host. You could get out of there at breakfast under $15. "Quality" ...
