Re: Smiths Remodel-Carson City, NV
Smiths has started remodeling in Carson City, NV. So far they are off to a bang. They seem to be keeping the old tan/brown shelves from when the store opened. In the late 1980's. I really hate the way those shelves look. They should all be replaced. The Sparks Smiths had a lot of those until its la...

Re: Golden Corral All You Can Eat Butterfly Shrimp & Chicken Tenders
I'm pretty sure everyone in Utah has some vomitous variation on the Chuck-a-Rama name (In our family it was "Upchuck-a-Rama", my wife called it the "Barf-o-Rama") but the same is probably true for a lot of buffet places. What’s funny is that my family loves “Upchuck-a-Rama”! We ...

Re: 🛒 Kroger-Albertsons Merger: National Impact
I still wonder how Fred Meyer / Ralph’s / Fry’s / Smith’s would have done as a stand-alone company versus the Kroger merger, and how much different the grocery retail scene would look today given what others have mentioned about Ralph’s volume. I’m guessing the Fred Meyer experiment in California wo...

Saw this out on Loopnet, which matches rumors going around town about Sprouts expanding from their three Reno locations, adding a location in Carson City: https://www.loopnet.com/viewer/pdf?file=https%3a%2f%2fimages1.loopnet.com%2fd2%2fuTSHsg3KFsmAfQQAgqMA_mvdA1ru0wW5LOZoPh8cLEk%2fNorth%2520Carson%...

Re: CVS Closing 25 Minuteclinic locations in LA market, leaving only 11
I wish I could turn back time and have had Longs Drugs take over some of the Rite Aid locations on the West Coast, instead of merging with CVS. While I've had awesome care the three times I've used a MinuteClinic (twice for COVID testing), their pharmacies leave a lot to be desired. Unfortunately, f...

Re: CVS Closing 25 Minuteclinic locations in LA market, leaving only 11
I'm starting to wonder about CVS though. There sure are a lot of cracks showing right now. They seem to be starting to experience the same problems as Walgreens and Rite Aid. It's catching up to them. Reading that the moribund Albertsons pharmacy operation is up 30% is very telling. And I just saw ...

Re: Dollar Tree
When an item scans on the POS "item cannot be sold" or "recalled item" or similar - the employee needs to understand and not sell the item. I had this with Wal Mart on some clearance candles not long ago. They scanned on the app at $1 but when I paid they would not scan. Message...

Re: First ALDI in Nevada coming to Henderson
Hahahaha, I get what you’re saying, however, I’m one of those people who have driven out of the way to go to ALDI. I may have had someone send me some of their coffee recently, lol! Can't speak for the coffee, I wonder who produces it. Is it from Germany? I used to find candy from Germany at Aldi a...

Re: Walmart announces major new store opening and remodel initiative
I'd like to see a break out on Supercenters vs. Neighborhood Markets for these new stores. Really hoping the strongly rumored new Supercenter in Dayton, NV is one of these in the initial group of 12 to begin development in 2024. I also think announcing 150 stores over a fairly long time span is an ...
