Re: Stop & Shop closures
Some of the interesting stores: Aberdeen, NJ - built early 00s to replace an older acquired Grand Union in the same mall, never renovated. Holy crap this place is enormous -- over 90,000 square feet. And it could just as easily be half that. They obviously can't handle a store of that size. Stock p...

Re: Stop & Shop closures
Stop & Shop is the only mainstream supermarket I can find with actual NYC stores (none in Manhattan though), and it stretches from New York City to Boston. If it's up for sale, who's gonna buy it? Albertsons (assuming no merger) can't buy it in whole unless it wants to divest a good chunk of AC...

Re: Macy's Closing 150 Full-line Stores by 2026
It was also noted elsewhere that they still have multiple storefronts in about 100 malls (where they took over a space from someone else and have different departments in different areas of the mall). Many (but not all) of those are supposed to be included, where they will simply consolidate into on...

Re: Digital Coupons
The notable difference here is that WinCo digital coupons are MANUFACTURERS coupons. Most stores require cards, apps, and digital coupons just to buy items at sale prices. WinCo sale prices are true sales and do not require gimmicks. Many stores have manufacturer coupons on their digital pages - in...

Re: JoAnn-"restructuring"
Their employees are not supervising well, and many customers don't understand retail. So, they think that if they are buying a dozen different colors of paint and they are all 99¢ they can just scan one twelve times. But now the inventory level will be short on 11 out of those 12 items. You can see...

Re: WcDonald's / Domestically
I think McDonald's is suffering from sky high prices, and no new food ideas. The food is another issue. They still haven't undone the menu damage from COVID (no Fruit & Yogurt Parfait). They really need to loosen up in regional menu items and franchisee freedom to experiment. No salads. No gril...

Re: 🛒 Kroger-Albertsons Merger: Southwest & Hawai'i Impact
Kroger has never had brick and mortar stores there. The only familiarity with the brand would be for people that moved from Texas or another place where Kroger operates. I can't see this venture being successful as a grocery delivery operation started from the ground up. Though, that really isn't m...

Re: Stop & Shop closures
Ahold offloading BI-LO: similar situation happened with Tops. Tops also went bankrupt, and they were sold to Price Chopper/Golub. Tops was in Northeast Ohio (Cleveland) at one time (their stores there were formerly Finast), but Ahold exited Northeast Ohio in 2006, selling the Tops stores there piec...
