Retail Watchers

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%...

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...

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...

I'd like to see a break out on Supercenters vs. Neighborhood Markets for these new stores.

I also think announcing 150 stores over a fairly long time span is an ...
