Stores are increasingly looking for ways to make money while saving you a few dollars at the same time. It may seem counterintuitive, but much of the push toward online shopping, ordering, picking and delivery can benefit both the consumer and the business.
Albertsons customers are loyal
There are people here in the office who are almost like a cult in their dedication to Albertsons (especially when it comes to fried chicken!). Parking is not the easiest thing to do at the local store and I would say the same for the Hailey store, simply because it is always full.
On Wednesday morning he was preparing an agricultural report at 5:30 a.m. M. When I saw an advertisement on the Associated Press cable about the grocery chain’s effort to make shopping an easier experience. Later in the morning, I came across this link, which tells the story in a cleaner format.
Online shopping is very much the future
People don’t believe me when I tell them that the day is coming when there are few large and grocery stores. However, the youngest are comfortable shopping online. A friend in Kent, Washington, got used to the idea of her local WinCo delivering groceries. The shipping cost is cheaper than your gasoline.
Let me make another point, again.
How much does the maintenance of large buildings cost? Keep the roof sealed? Heat it in winter and cool it in summer? How much merchandise or products are lost due to theft? Now if you could close a lot of these big box stores and still maintain healthy sales, how much money would the company make?
Albertsons is getting ahead of the curve.
