Re: McDonald's and Krispy Kreme

Re: Macys Stores Closing by 2026

I continue to be surprised that the company hasn't been consolidating the men's / home / kids / backstage stores with their main stores in some markets. I figured some of the 150 would come from that, but it's obvious many of the full-line stores needed to go. Some do seem ripe to be replaced by sm...

Re: Nordstrom going to Private Equity?

Re: Smiths Remodel-Carson City, NV

In Sparks they removed the liquor alcove and put it approximately where the seasonal aisle in Carson was (opposite side of frozen). It will be interesting to see if they keep the liquor alcove in Carson City. With how they moved soda/water to the aisles in front of the alcove, in my opinion, it act...

Re: Kroger shuttering distribution spoke in Miami

This and Austin seem like pretty high profile retreats.

Obviously they didn't understand the Miami market and probably didn't have the right merchandise mix.

Re: Rite Aid closing at least 63 stores

It looks like they've reached a bankruptcy settlement. Hopefully they exit rapidly.

Re: Restaurant Fees

Dickey's is now calling this fee being attached to online orders a "Recycling Fee." 49 cents flat extra on every online order. I pulled various locations in multiple states and all were charging this fee.
