We tried the Wahlburgers once. Ridiculously overpriced, very average burgers.
Hy-Vee's weirdest business decision yet?
- Thread starter JP4CY
- Start date
That was a decision made when the Whalburger brothers were hot on TV with their family show. There were people who questioned the move but others felt the exposure would be good. If you recall they also were promoting the health/workout products Mark had.
The whole Perk program never really seems like it took off. Do they even offer "perk only" pricing anymore?
It's because they are more expensive than Wal-Mart. Highlighting certain products is nothing more than marketing. At the end of the day if you fill a cart with the same items at Wal-Mart and HyVee, Wal-Mart is going to be significantly cheaper. Once on sale items are balanced out by Wal-Marts every day shelf price.
Yes, PharMor! Wow that's another blast from the past.
My mom worked in the bakery at Barlow's for awhile. Only grocery store I ever remember having carpeted floors.
My mom shopped there when we were kids in the 80s/90s. I hated it because you had to bag your own groceries. Which meant I had to help bag and carry them out. Fareway had people who would do that FOR YOU!
I didn't know there were more than 1 Barlow's. I thought the only one was on 1st Ave near Marion, right across from Carlos O'Kelly's. That one did become a Randall's. where was the other one?
There was a Barlow's on the SW side of CR...NW corner of Edgewood Rd and 16th Ave. Not sure what that building is now...currently sits behind a KFC that shares an entrance with Earl May.
Yes, because I've trained myself to look closer at the pricing because the Perk price is in bold, with the regular price in tiny print below it.
The dirty had one back in the early 70s, pretty sure it was gone by the 80s.
I think it is the CRST corporate Headquarters in the former building.
Interesting…but weird. Hyvee is having people pitch products Shark Tank style to get shelf space.
Publicity stunt? I notice it doesn't say anything about Hy Vee committing a certain amount of shelf space to winning pitches.
Can't believe we went a year between posts on this thread
Or, they are allowing small and emerging businesses a chance to get their products on the market while engaging with their community.
I see nothing wrong or weird about this.
