Re: Louie Vuitton Store Robbed By Multiple People

The worst part of San Francisco is crossing the streets. The drivers are aggressive and there are many pedestrian fatalities. A shopping area without cars is much more relaxing. Walnut Creek's outdoor mall, Broadway Plaza, has always had streets running through the shopping center. Crossing the stre...

Re: Kaiser Permanente Allows Prescriptions At Other Pharmacies Due To Strike

The strike was called off of course, but the damage to Kaiser has been done. Kaiser transferred many hospital patients to non-Kaiser hospitals and it is a huge mess trying to transfer them back. Many Kaiser patients are still waiting for their mail order prescriptions. Kaiser told the patients to us...

Re: CVS to close 900 stores

I would think that CVS really has a tough time competing with Lenscrafters in most areas. There are Lenscrafters all over the place including Macy's. The CVS Optical Centers seem to be only in Southern California. I have not seen any in Northern California where most CVS stores were former Longs Dru...

Re: Fred Meyer to cease overnight music broadcast

The security announcement only turns on late at night when security goes home. The service department opens at 7 AM, so I assume security works from about 6 AM to 10 PM. Once they leave, they turn on the announcements.

Re: CVS to close 900 stores

The CVS pharmacies inside of Target are actually a good source of profit for CVS. The big source of profit now is made by vaccinations and expensive insulin. The busy Target stores are the perfect place to get people who want vaccinations. Flu, shingles, pneumonia vaccines, etc. A single vaccination...

Re: Amazon Fresh's cashierless plan falling short

A new Whole Foods is about to open in Oakland, California. Shocking... It was planned to be a small Whole Foods 365 store with limited selection and low prices. The 365 chain was eliminated, and now this store will open as a full priced Whole Foods with no service departments and a limited variety o...

Re: CVS to close 900 stores

The former Longs Drugs Flagship store in downtown Walnut Creek has been rumored for years to be closed in order for condominiums to be built on the land. It has a huge empty parking lot that could become a very expensive housing complex. The classic McDonald's across the street was bulldozed to beco...
