Retail Watchers

Just yesterday, I noticed a new product line of frozen breakfast sandwiches at a local Tom Thumb also under the Signature Select banner. These were a new product which was actually priced fairly competitively. However, as this is a product which is a defacto item at most fast food restaurants, it s...

Apparently Canadians aren't as used to "going out of business" liquidator sales as U.S. customers. Press about rapidly deteriorating store conditions, despite discounts only being 20% to 50% off tags (although it is Business Insider :| ) http://www.businessinsider.com/sears-clearance-sale...

Already being discussed within the northeast thread related to ACME and Safeway East, but doesn't hurt to cross-post here.
