Retail Watchers

It should be noted that you cannot order through the Chipotlane, only pickup online orders.

Portland and Seattle had a very late/wet winter so they’re harvesting a little late this year. There aren’t as many as usual but you should start to see them show up shortly.

It has a completely new layout and exterior and has all the bells and whistles. It also blows the Lucky Dublin or Redding Save Mart(both new build stores) out of the ...

Walgreens has more stores in San Francisco than the entire state of Montana. Montana has a slightly larger population. Target has 13 ...

It is a more realistic measurement when it is per capita instead of these hyperbolic over reported end of the world scenarios that focuses on the usual suspects (blue city sodom and gomorrah). The issue is more the impact it has on the people who live in a given place. Even if some manipulated stat...

Yet Cracker Barrel has 9 California locations...including Hollywood(!) The Hollywood location is a ghost kitchen… Not personally familiar with the Southern California locations, but using Google Maps it doesn’t appear that any of their brick and mortar CA locations are near somewhere where I’d worr...
