Up 38% today. WFMI.

Of course it's nowhere near the $75/share it was back in October of 2006. This stock has lost most of its value and I wonder how their stores are holding up under the recession?

Well, Barrons upgraded Whole Foods today to a Buy from a Hold.

Yes.

While Whole Foods' produce is amazing and their meats are excellent, why do you guys have the absolute WORST looking fish in the world? I could go to a frickin' Pathmark and get better looking fish.

lol.

I'll make a note of it.

lol pathmark

haven't heard that ina while living in florida

even though I was more of a Shop Rite guy myself

It's all abou tthe can can month

 

[jillian]

I grew up on Waldbaum's.

 

[Andrew2382]

oo Waldbaums was good...I also hit up the A&P cause it was always dead

 

[jillian]

when i was in high school, i worked in a waldbaum's to pick up extra cash. they had the best appetizing around. they still do, actually.

A&P near my folks is way nicer than waldbaum's, though. really pretty store. and you're right, no lines.

 

[Andrew2382]

yeah, always wondered why A&P never had lines...are they still in business?

I always thought Pathmark was the ghetto supermarket...not in the fact that black people shopped there...they just always looked run down and the building was always ugly...at least the ones I always went too.

When I first moved to Florida, I wanted to go pick up eggs or something it was 3 or 4 inthe morning. Went to the Publix and guy told me they were closed...I thought it was illegal or something by the face I gave him... I didn't even know supermarkets closed.

It was a real eye opner when I moved down.

It amases me how Publix and Win Dixie even though they are getting killed by Publix are the only 2 major supermarket chains here.

When I lived in NYC

I had Shop Rite, Pathmark, A&P, Waulbaums all within 5 miles of each other

I always thought it was because A&P's were in waspier neighborhoods and waldbaum's were in more jewishy neighborhoods where people were more into food... lol. so more lines. The A&P in Holmdel, NJ is beautiful. And there was a futurestore up northern jersey (Alpine, I think) that used to be really nice. (My family's in the food industry... when i was in my first two years of law school, interning didn't fill my pockets, my paid summer job for two years was doing merchandising, so i had to drive from store to store. amazing what you get to learn about supermarkets).

i remember the first time i went to florida and didn't recognize the names of any of the supermarkets. I mean, really, Winn-Dixie?!?!?! Publix????

i had never even heard of them.

I still have a Pathmark, Two Waldbaum's and a Stop 'n Shop within walking distance. And that doesn't include our little local supermarket. I don't know how they all do ok. But they seem to. Of all of them, the pathmark is my least favorite.... rudest employees, terrible deli. (But NY rocks!)

 

[Andrew2382]

yeah stop & shop is the new thing I hear....I went into one on Staten Island...it was real nice.

 

[jillian]

If I'm not mistaken, Stop 'n Shop is the higher end version of Edwards. I could be wrong about that. But their stores aren't bad.

 

[DavidS]

A&P? I think they went the way of Acme....

 

[Andrew2382]

yeah, this past weekend when I went up North me and friends were talking about old stores from our youths

Example....I still call CVS, Sav On...I think I'm the only person that does that

 

[Andrew2382]

wow acme...that is old school

 

[jillian]

nope.

The Whole Foods I shopped at in Colorado had excellent fish.

having designed a couple of whole foods stores ..... originally they had a very solid 45k sq ft store concept that was very efficient and targeted what people want ....then they wandered off into this german super store concept ..... i think they built one in texas......they drifted away from who they are....anyway i haven't done a store in quite awhile....i hear they are returning to their roots.....

There's no where to park in Columbus Circle. What's wrong with Houston St or the Chelsea store?
