The NewvJersey based Korean supermarket is going to open a 37,180 square foot store in Dublin, California. The space was previously occupied by an ACE Hardware with a garden center. This shopping center already has Ross, Marshall's, DSW, Half Price Books, Michael's, and Burger King. The loss of ACE ...

Gamestop is seeing a big sales drop and it is losing money at a faster rate. They have focused on selling collectibles. They are selling toys, pop culture items, and they are going into crypto exchange.

Safeway must be getting some kind of incentive to replace the lighting with energy saving fixtures. The run down Pak N Save in San Leandro received new LED tubes, but everything else was the same.

It seemed like most of it was Women's and Children's clothing. There is way too much clothing. People are not s...

I passed by a former 7-Eleven in Pleasanton, California today. It used to be a new looking store just a couple of years ago. It was clean and looked great. About a year ago it was converted to a Cox Family Store. The entire store has been remodeled and rearranged. However, it seems like the Slurpee ...
