Retail Watchers

I agree- they should make some mix changes and rebrand Fresh to 365 Whole Foods. It will need some pretty serious changes. Again. I'm not sure how many more major remerchandisings these stores can take.

Also kill the Just Walk Out and Dash Carts; just end both. Self checkout is enough.

I see Springfield regularly at Vallarta, Superior and other stores that were formerly supplied by Unified before the sale to Supervalu. I'm not sure if they are slowly phasing it out and replacing it with Essential Everyday. That would be a shame, as "Springfield" sounds better in my opin...

They need to run price promotions on this brand and actually price it/operate it like a store brand. As in, a brand that costs less than name brands.

I'm sure this Instagram will be forgotten as soon as they have a management change in the private label department, which seems to happen quite often.

Sounds like they sell the same crap as Five Below or the Dollar stores…only in an Asian style. They're a little different. Very little food and no cleaning or paper product type items. Over the years more and more of their product is from China but they say it is "Japan Quality." Their st...

Elko was demolished and rebuilt and doesn't have it anymore. Over time the insurance and cleaning costs associated with having this equipment seem to be not worth it for some locations. In Reno area, there are about 4 locations with modern indoor playplace and they do attract families, birthday part...

They had very aggressive plans to add hundreds of US Stores and they've added few. Their new stores are smaller and their mix seems to be declining. I was in one in a Dallas suburb last summer that had no air conditioning and it was very brutal in there. Overall this retailer seems poorly managed in...

THe Columbia EatWell was a long-running Schnucks's for many years and the only super near downtown and the U of M campus. The store probably opened in the 70s and is probably on the small side for them, hence this format. They may have figured that having the flagship state university there, along ...

Here they have good/steady drive through business but dine in is empty, even at lunch, and it doesn't matter which location. Breakfast Jack is cooked fresh every time- excellent product at 2 for $3. Would like to try it with cheddar but can't figure out how to do that in the app. But the 3.49 each a...

I wonder if the gas station in Murrieta makes them any money. When Kroger watches sales for stores they exclude fuel and pharmacy since those areas aren't considered "controllable" by store management in driving sales. So the gas station may help the overall picture in Murrieta. Do any of ...
