Re: Eddie Bauer dumbs down logo for GenZ
They use a multitude of logos. They have never used just one. Similar to Target when you think about it and how they use the bullseye and lettering in many different ways. I do not understand why this got any hype as there was no indication that they were eliminating the original. Eddie Bauer has u...

Re: Gelsons Laguna Beach closing
I don't get why S&F is there, either. Should have been sold to Gelson's or Lazy Acres or anyone else, really. Even a Ralphs-ette like the one in Point Loma would have been good. ... The other issue is Smart & Final isn't really even any deal... Vons would be a better deal a lot of the time.....

Re: Gelsons Laguna Beach closing
...Coronado was also really nicely remodeled by Supervalu (a shame that is a Smart & Final now... wonder how that survives)... My guess is that three things factor into S&F's success in Coronado: 1) People commuting from the naval base to other parts of metro San Diego, 2) Tourists who want...

Re: Knott's Berry Farm jams discontinued
Anymore I buy either the Whole Foods or Signature Select fruit spread. It is every bit as good (sometimes even better than) as the name-brands, which tend to have limited offerings of anything other than jellies and jams. If enough people do the same as me (and I suspect they do, given the amount of...

Re: Eddie Bauer dumbs down logo for GenZ
When they changed out the 1970's - 2000's logo for a slightly different script logo (which was changed back) merchandise carried the old logo for a couple of years. Maybe they bought labels in bulk and want to use 'em up.

Re: Gelsons Laguna Beach closing
... Pacific Beach Garnet Albertsons received an early Supervalu Premium Fresh & Healthy remodel that looked nice but kept the tiny department sizes... Thanks for that. I rarely shopped at that store, so my memory is a little fuzzy. They might have redecorated that store when they redecorated Co...

Re: Lack of Whole Foods North County San Diego
... The Gelson's in La Jolla you are talking about is really Pacific Beach. That one was originally a 60s model Alpha Beta. I believe this store had the PF&H v1 interior before Haggen bought it. I'm not sure what interior the Pacific Beach Albertsons had before then, maybe @rwsandiego knows. .....

Re: New Balducci's Decor Package
An interesting update in Albertsons Mid-Atlantic: apparently there's a new decor package coming into at least one Balducci's in VA. It's extremely bland, at least based on a rendering posted to Broden Design Group's website (scroll down to Upcoming Projects).... I hope the trend of bland, character...

Re: New Ralphs/Kroger Interior
...Fry's essentially is two chains. The 25% of the store base that is newer with 85,000+ square foot stores with warehouse ceilings and a massive assortment of product seem to get a lot of love. The 75% of the stores with drop ceilings and a high variety of layouts (depending on original owner/oper...

Re: Simple Truth "Organic" redesign
I meant the plain "Simple Truth" label, although many of those items (particularly meat and eggs) have "Natural" prominently stated on the label, such as https://www.kroger.com/product/images/large/front/0001111087023 If I were Kroger, I would keep "O Organics" as the ...
