Re: Subway Switches To Pepsi For 10 Years From Coke
I personally prefer Pepsi products. I gotta wonder if Coke was pushing Subway to adapt Freestyle machines...those seem to only work in high volume operations, and not all Subway locations fit that bill. I have been noticing some restaurants that went to the countertop Freestyle machines have switche...

Re: 🛒 Kroger-Albertsons Merger: National Impact
I don't want to call Haggen, Andronico's, Kings, and Balducci's worthless but those banners alone I am not sure they could stand alone. There is a reason who those companies sold to Albertsons. They were not exactly thriving. Haggen and King's/Balducci's were in bankruptcy. Haggen as a name was sev...

Re: Fast Food chains focusing on apps while menu prices skyrocket
I've been talking about this for quite some time now. The situation is fluid but I have found locally both McDonald's and Burger King have lower prices on their apps versus in restaurant, and also offer massive discount deals not available without the app. Basically these restaurants have decided t...

Fast Food chains focusing on apps while menu prices skyrocket
A trend I am noticing in my area, is that various major chains are heavily pushing people to use apps for pretty much all specials, while the pricing of menu items continues to climb, in some cases, to a point where prices are more than an item is worth. Several are also discontinuing mailing coupon...

Re: SLC WinCo joins Teamsters
At one point, it was common to see people picketing outside of WinCo stores in the Portland/Vancouver, WA area. They were picketing about the fact that WinCo did not have a union contract. This seems to have stopped as I have not seen those pickets in years. I am not sure if the picketers were from ...

Re: Rite Aid closing at least 63 stores
Rite Aid 5413 in Boise is the former Marina Safeway at 1515 W. State Street. This one has been remodeled quite extensively on the inside and seemed like a good performer, and has been there a long time. Kinda surprised to see this location pop up on such a list.

Re: Digital Coupons
The whole card thing has caused me to shift a lot of shopping to WinCo where they don't have all these gimmicks. If only WinCo could get their random out of stock issues under control and offer better dairy and produce so I could avoid Fred Meyer altogether.... WinCo does offer digital manufacturer...
