Re: AT&T ending participation in Plenti 10/31/2017

Heard a radio advertisement today for Macy's introducing "their" rewards program. You must use a Macy's charge card to participate, but otherwise it was similar to JCPenney's redesigned program (which is sort of like Nordstrom's but not as generous).

Re: If you could bring one supermarket chain to your area which one would it be?

Small chain: Harmons, based in Utah Medium-sized chain: Market Street (other United formats are actually pretty nice, a new / modern United would be OK but I really like Market Street's deli/coffee/etc setup) Central Market or H.E.B. due to the shining community service and excellent house-brand it...

Profile: John Jackson Started with One Store

Jackson's is probably larger than Maverik at this point, but kind of set up the same way.
