Re: Rite Aid closing at least 63 stores
The Rite Aid bankruptcy was supposed to end April 22. There is now a new filing in the Kroll website of dockets: This is Docket 2774. Does this mean the bankruptcy is being extended? "Upon the Debtors’ Motion for Entry of an Order (I) Extending the Debtors’ Exclusive Periods to File a Chapter ...

Re: Downtown Denver (Central Business District) Retail
I was there not long before COVID. There was some retail development around the big hotels, but nothing really memorable. It's clear that the downtown business district once spanned close to a mile along 16th and adjacent streets toward Union Station--I stayed in a repurposed warehouse/industrial b...

Re: Why Have Some Chain Stores Haven't Gotten Makeovers Yet and What Lies Ahead for Them!"
Recent Burger King remodels have removed a large amount of chairs and tables. The seating capacity is probably only a third of what used to be there. There is a lot of empty floor space. No more outdoor tables or chairs. Those were removed for a double drive-thru. Perhaps they think that fewer dine...

Re: 99 CENT ONLY closing
So the backrooms are STUFFED FULL in both Reno and Sparks. The stores are closing on or BY April 28 (some employees think they could be closed any second). So I asked what is happening to the stuff in the backroom. I was told they are going to pick it all up and nothing more is going to be stocked. ...

Re: The backroom at TJs
Funny that this comes up as I happened to be driving around the back of a shopping center with a Trader Joe's last week and I noticed on their loading dock area they had a TJ's branded pop-up canopy with boxes of merchandise (or perhaps and hopefully, store supplies) being stored underneath! Was it...

Re: 🛒 Kroger-Albertsons Merger: National Impact
Fred Meyer would be its own company. Under one scenario, divest Fred Meyer, throw in Ralphs, Fry's, Smith's (except for Utah, those get converted to Safeway or Albertsons), King Soopers, Randalls, Tom Thumb, and Mariano's. Some of those stores could be traded around, but it creates a complete, viab...

Re: Target Rolls 10 item "Express Self Checkout" Nationwide
I was referring to when Cornell was CEO of Michaels, where he had very luxurious prototypes built that resembles a Barnes and Noble/Toys R Us type store with custom fixtures everywhere, lower gondolas like CVS, fancy signage and screens everywhere. They went in during 2008, and by end of 2009 they ...

Re: Why Have Some Chain Stores Haven't Gotten Makeovers Yet and What Lies Ahead for Them!"
McDonalds was making some relatively nice looking restaurants with what I'd call pleasant looking tile work, walls, lighting... but the recent remodels un-do all of that. I am hearing the franchisees favor these recent remodels as they are cheaper to maintain. It is even cheaper to maintain things ...

Re: Cracker Barrel closes Medford, OR location
It looks like the two obscure units in Santa Maria and Camarillo are running regular hours now, 7a-9p with Friday and Saturday open till 10p. Last time I drove past Camarillo it was dinnertime and I didn't see one person waiting for a table outside, meanwhile next door Finneys (a fast growing, no f...
