New Seasons announces a "flattening of the executive leadership structure", aka terminating the CEO and not backfilling the position. The press release also states Sunnyvale will close after less than a year open, but Aptos will continue as planned and open this Fall.

Re: New Seasons Shifts Strategy
I was never too impressed with New Seasons, but they seem to be the inspiration for everything Fred Meyer is doing wrong the past few years. New Seasons along with a few other similar chains have also kept Whole Foods in a fairly weakened position in the Pacific Northwest, compared to, say, California. So my assumption is New Seasons has had a pretty severe competitive impact on Fred Meyer.

Re: New Seasons Shifts Strategy
I don't mind that element, that is a positive. I mind the element of cutting out non food the way they have in certain locations. That and some of the attitude they display, like they are trying to be a want to be New Seasons, but missing the mark...babs wrote: ↑February 7th, 2018, 8:28 amIt's because of New Seasons that Natural Choice departments in many Fred Meyer stores has been greatly expanded.storewanderer wrote: ↑February 6th, 2018, 9:13 pm I was never too impressed with New Seasons, but they seem to be the inspiration for everything Fred Meyer is doing wrong the past few years.
