Re: Krispy Kreme

After a few trips to the new Krispy Kreme in Sparks, which I keep asking myself why I go back, the answer is clear: that original glazed. It is really great. If it is hot, it is wonderful. If it isn't hot, it is still really good. The original glazed is pure donut heaven IMO I bet it counts for mor...

Re: New Seasons Market - 2021

If someone really wants to get rid of these bottles I suggest a health study for how much melted plastic folks are ingesting when they drink some of these bad tasting bottles of water. Because some of these bottles of water I've opened over the years (always the cheap generic store brand ones) sure...

Re: Albertsons continues to disappear from WA

The SavOn name still had a lot of value for the first ten years or so after selling to CVS. The SavOn and Thrifty brands were iconic in Southern California for many many years.

Re: Target Closing 2 Small Stores in the San Francisco Bay Area

FWIW a few of the small 20,000 sq ft Targets I have been to here in LA all seem pretty busy. People think of them more like a big 7-11 than a traditional Target. They have a lot of convenience grocery items and get a lot of impulse buys on their limited but profitable GM offerings.

Re: Lack of ham this Easter

The good thing about ham is they have a lot preservatives and a long shelf life. There’s not as much risk as stocking up on fresh cut meat The Ralph’s near me stocked up on whole rib beef roasts which evidently didn’t sell well because they’re still there but now ‘seasoned’ to camouflage the change ...

Re: Ralphs, Food 4 Less to Close 3 Los Angeles Stores over $5 per hour extra Hazard Pay

The store never reached its sales goal. The underground parking lot is not well designed. A lot of people avoid it for this reason and shop at Pavilions on Beverly or Vons on Pico & Fairfax.

Re: Smart & Final Corona Del Mar Closed

This store is only about 17,000 sq ft IIRC. The area has good demographics. Parking is a big issue though.

Re: Is 2021 finally the end for Sears/Kmart?

I went to the Sears Grand in Rancho Cucamonga on Saturday. A lot of sections have been closed off with empty shelving, such as the Electronic Department. They had a few appliances out but that area was mostly empty space. They also had a lot of mattress store samples. The only crowding I saw was was...

And to add to this McDonalds, which in my opinion has great fries but horrible burgers.

Re: McDonald's franchisees want a better chicken sandwich

If you can get a Chickfila to serve you extra crispy fries, the fries are quite good. The Reno Chickfila used to fulfill this request (there is a button on the cash register for it- well done). Then one time I received a written notice in my bag stating they will no longer honor special requests in...
