Podcast appearances and mentions of Fred Meyer

Seattle allows rampant crime and homelessness, then acts shocked when businesses flee and residents face food deserts. After clearing downtown encampments, Mayor Bruce Harrell just shuffled the problem to residential neighborhoods like Lake City, where Fred Meyer finally said "we're done" and closed shop. Now Seattle's brilliant solution? Government-run grocery stores and "multi-pronged approaches" – everything except actually dealing with the shoplifting, drug addiction, and safety issues that drove businesses away in the first place. We dive into how the city's whack-a-mole homeless sweeps moved encampments two blocks down the street, why less than 5% of homeless accept actual housing, and how this predictable disaster is hitting the very communities Seattle claims to protect most. Is anyone surprised that businesses won't stick around when customers can't safely shop and inventory walks out the door daily? What's next – taxpayer-funded security guards for government grocery stores? Hit subscribe if you're tired of watching cities create problems, ignore solutions, and then blame "big corporate" when reality hits.

(The Center Square) – Last month, the Snohomish Police Department issued a statement telling people not to call 911 in response to initiative signature gatherers operating outside stores such as Fred Meyer and Safeway. Many of the 9-11 callers reported to the nonemergency line such activities as trespassing, but others expressed concerned about nature of the initiatives themselves. Support this podcast: https://secure.anedot.com/franklin-news-foundation/ce052532-b1e4-41c4-945c-d7ce2f52c38a?source_code=xxxxxx Read more: https://www.thecentersquare.com/washington/article_30d4c297-faf8-432b-b6e7-54a9a52e0df1.html Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

HT2398 - Food Clothing, and Shelter In my twenties I work for the 9th largest retailer in the United States, a company called Fred Meyer, located in the Pacific Northwest. Mr. Meyer had a fascinating philosophy. He observed that everybody needs three things: food, clothing, and shelter. Everything else is a luxury. I suppose that includes photography. It's an uncomfortable reality for us photographers but no one needs what we produce. At the same time, making art is one of the most important activities we can pursue.

Today, we’re bringing you important stories from our public radio newsroom colleagues. As closure of their Fred Meyer draws closer, Lake City community advocates are raising the alarm that the neighborhood is transforming into a food desert.

What will it take to save the Lake City Fred Meyer? Is it even possible? Lawmakers and local shoppers are asking those questions after Kroger announced last month that the Lake City location would be part of a wave of regional closures. Local residents remain worried about where people will go for prescriptions and fresh produce, especially elderly and low-income residents, who may not have access to a car.

Two Fred Meyer stores in Washington—Kent (SE 240th St.) and Everett (Evergreen Way)—are set to close in October 2025. Kroger, the parent company, blames a “steady rise in theft” and regulatory costs, despite reportedly doubling its security investments.But union leaders, workers, and local officials push back, arguing that crime has actually declined in these areas. Critics say the closures could create food deserts, especially for vulnerable communities.

Fred Meyer - Tourist Oregon

Today we uncover an invisible killer hidden, for over a hundred years, by reasonable disbelief. Science journalist extraordinaire Carl Zimmer tells us the story of a centuries-long battle of ideas that came to a head, with tragic consequences, in the very recent past. His latest book, called Airborne, details a  largely forgotten history of science that never quite managed to get off the ground. Along the way, Carl helps us understand how we can fail, over and over again, to see a truth right in front of our faces. And how we finally came around thanks to scientific evidence hidden inside a song.EPISODE CREDITS:Reported by - Carl ZimmerProduced by - Sarah Qariwith mixing help from - Jeremy BloomFact-checking by - Natalie MiddletonEPISODE CITATIONS:Books -  Check out Carl Zimmer's new book, Airborne (https://zpr.io/Q5bdYrubcwE4).Articles -  Read about the study on the Skagit Valley Chorale COVID superspreading event (https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32979298/).Signup for our newsletter!!

For MCoBeauty CMO Meridith Rojas, the ability to democratize the beauty industry lies in the power of dupes.  “We're in this moment, in this cultural zeitgeist, where people don't want to have to spend $1,000 on a face of beauty and don't want to be left out of the trends,” said Rojas. “We really want to create luxury for everyone. And of course, we have amazing dupes, but we also have some homegrown innovation. The combination has been really magnetic, and our community is growing in the U.S. so fast. We have a very exciting year ahead of us.”  Dupes, the colloquial term for a lower-priced product inspired by a luxury category leader, makes up about half of MCo's offering. Unlike counterfeits or copies, which are often associated with unsafe formulas and flagrant IP violations, dupes are in their own category and are incredibly popular globally.  MCoBeauty sells recognizable dupes for popular products from brands like Charlotte Tilbury, Drunk Elephant, Sol de Janeiro and Laneige for around a third of the price. For example, MCo Beauty's best-selling Flawless Glow Foundation retails for $14.99, and its Miracle Flawless Pressed Powder goes for $9.99. Similar products from Charlotte Tilbury retail for $49 and $28, respectively. It also offers non-dupes, like its best-selling XtendLash tubing mascara, which sells for $13.99. MCoBeauty was launched in Australia in 2016 by founder Shelley Sullivan, a former modeling agency owner. It is currently the top-selling color cosmetics brand in Australia and New Zealand, according to Greg Barker, MCoBeauty's evp of North America. As previously reported by Glossy in December, MCoBeauty launched its U.S. expansion at the end of 2024 with entry into 1,700 Kroger stores, which include regional grocery stores like Smiths, Fred Meyer, King Soopers, Frys, Ralphs and more. The expansion also includes DTC sales via MCoBeauty's site and Amazon. This week, MCo Beauty also launched into 1,300 Target doors and on Target.com.  Rojas joined The Glossy Beauty Podcast to discuss MCoBeauty's U.S. expansion and the marketing strategy supporting it. She shared anecdotes about the company's OOH and digital marketing successes, including advice on building a digital community, connecting with influencers early in their careers, getting the best community UGC and hiring digitally-minded celebrities to lead social-first campaigns.

Hey friend!   If you are looking for the perfect low cost recipe for the holiday season that you can also enjoy any time of year, look no further!   This week's recipe not only uses staples most households typically have on hand, but it even can utilize an ingredient that you may normally throw away. Now that's frugal!   Blessings to your family, Mandy Thank you for helping this show rank in the top 2% globally! I appreciate you so much!   P.S. As promised, here is the full recipe with instructions:   Bread Pudding Ingredients: 6 slices day-old bread, torn into small pieces (FREE if you use up what you would toss, otherwise buy day-old or marked down bread for cheap.) 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted ($4.49 for 16oz today at my Fred Meyer, but you're only using a tiny amount) 2 cups milk (2% or whole is recommended) $2.59 ½ gallon or $3.69 gallon ¾ cup white sugar ($2.99 for 4lbs) 4 large eggs, beaten ($4.99 lowest price at my store) 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon ($1.25 at my store) 1 teaspoon vanilla extract $1.99 for imitation or $5.99 for pure (can also sub another flavor if you have it on hand or to change it up: Ex. pure orange extract is $2.29 at Fred Meyer or almond is $3.69, lemon is 3.49 (may need to play around with quantities of other flavors) Steps: 1. Gather all ingredients. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). 2. Place bread pieces into an 8-inch square baking pan. Drizzle melted butter over bread. Sprinkle your choice of mix-ins over top - optional. 3. Whisk milk, sugar, eggs, cinnamon, and vanilla together in a medium mixing bowl until well combined. 4. Pour mixture over bread, and lightly push down with a fork until all bread is covered and soaking up the liquid. 5. Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown and the top springs back when lightly pressed, about 45 minutes. Enjoy! Or add any optional toppings after if you'd like, but it's not needed.  

Nesta edição do podcast cinematório café, nós conversamos com a equipe do filme - e, agora, também série - “Meu Sangue Ferve Por Você”. Após o sucesso nos cinemas, o romance musical sobre a história do cantor Sidney Magal e sua esposa, Magali West, ganha versão estendida no streaming. Confira os bastidores na entrevista exclusiva que fizemos com o próprio Magal, o ator Filipe Bragança e o diretor Paulo Machline ("Trinta", "O Filho Eterno"). - Visite a página do podcast no site e confira material extra sobre o tema do episódio - Junte-se ao Cineclube Cinematório e tenha acesso a conteúdo exclusivo de cinema “Meu Sangue Ferve Por Você” é descrito como uma “fábula magalesca”. A expressão significa que o roteiro é inspirado em uma história verídica, mas que é narrada com todas as licenças poéticas necessárias para aproximá-la do universo musical e caliente de Sidney Magal. Com isso, o filme escapa de ser uma mera cinebiografia sobre a vida do artista -- que já havia ganhado um documentário sobre sua trajetória em 2002, o premiado "Me Chama que Eu Vou", dirigido por Joana Mariani, também produtora de “Meu Sangue Ferve Por Você”. Na verdade, “Meu Sangue Ferve Por Você” é sobre a mulher que se tornou protagonista da vida de Magal: Magali West, interpretada na tela pela atriz Giovana Cordeiro.

Last week, plans for the largest U.S. supermarket merger in history imploded in spectacular fashion. First, an Oregon federal judge blocked the $24.6 billion bid by Kroger to take over Albertson's, its next largest rival. Less than 24 hours later, Albertsons, which also owns Safeway, pulled out of the deal entirely — and then filed a massive lawsuit against Kroger, the parent company of Fred Meyer and QFC. The bitter breakup marks the end of a two-year saga that stood to upend grocery shopping across Oregon and centered largely right here in Portland. On the latest Beat Check, Oregonian/OregonLive reporters Kristine de Leon and Shane Dixon Kavanaugh unpack the final twists and turns of the supermarket deal gone sour.

It's Labor Day, and that can only mean workers standing up for our rights on the job. We begin this week with the launch of this weekend's national hotel strike by workers in Unite Here. After some quick stories on workers fighting for Palestine, the massive surge in unionization in academia, and more warehouse organizing by the Teamsters, we get into our main stories. We follow up with the UAW strike at Cornell, as workers have won a historic new contract. Workers at the Audubon Society have announced they will strike next week as their highly paid CEO continues a petty, illegal union busting campaign. Fred Meyer workers also struck this weekend, simultaneously showing how important stopping the Kroger-Albertsons merger is. Negotiations for a new contract for the East Coast dockworkers in the ILA have ground to a halt, potentially portending the first east coast port shutdown in nearly 50 years. We also discuss this week's 99.99% strike authorization vote by flight attendants at United and a new report showing just how deep the exploitation in the industry is. Finally, we celebrate the union election win of 4000 "temporary" workers at Firestone's massive rubber plantation in Liberia.

Today on City Cast Portland, we're talking about the Fred Meyer strike as the biggest grocery merger ever is debated in a local court, the frantic wrangling over plans as Measure 110 officially comes to an end, and the sky-high costs of building renovations as Portland Public Schools resume classes.

Seven & i Holdings tries to block a takeover bid from a competitor, Fred Meyer grocery workers in Portland begin a one-week strike, and Walmart deals with an apple juice recall.

On Monday, a judge at the U.S. District Court of Oregon in Portland will hear arguments to temporarily block the proposed merger of Kroger and Albertsons grocery chains. The nearly $25 billion deal, which was announced nearly two years ago, would create the largest supermarket chain in U.S. history, with roughly 5,000 stores and 700,000 employees across 48 states. Kroger owns Fred Meyer and QFC grocery stores in the Northwest, and Albertsons owns Safeway.  In February, the Federal Trade Commission sued to block the merger, claiming it would hurt workers, stifle competition and raise prices for consumers. Executives at Kroger and Albertsons dispute those claims, saying the merger will result in lower prices and more choices for consumers, and result in no layoffs of “frontline workers.”  On Capitol Hill, opposition to the merger is being led by Oregon’s senior Democratic Senator, Ron Wyden, and Washington’s U.S. Rep. Pramila Jayapal (D-07). Sen. Wyden joins us to share his perspective on the proposed merger, the presidential election and other issues. 

Company mergers are often touted as a way to create more efficiencies for the companies and savings for customers. Albertsons, the owner of Safeway and Carrs, wants to sell to Kroger, the parent company of Fred Meyer. The deal would affect multiple stores in Alaska. The companies say the merger will result in better prices for consumers. Do economists, public advocates and attorneys agree? We ask them on this Talk of Alaska.

Oregon’s Bottle Bill, which offers cash refunds for empty bottles and cans, was a landmark piece of legislation when it first passed in 1971. Since then, it’s served as a model for similar bills in other states and led to some of the highest recycling rates in the nation. The bill was originally intended to discourage littering, but the cash refunds it offers have increasingly become a lifeline for low-income Oregonians and people experiencing homelessness. As extensively reported in Willamette Week, critics now say the bill is fueling open-air drug markets outside return sites. We’ll get an overview of the Bottle Bill from Eric Chambers, vice president of strategy and outreach for the Oregon Beverage Recycling Cooperative. We’re also joined by RJ DeMello, chair of the St. Johns Neighborhood Association; Ken Thrasher, former CEO of Fred Meyer and board chair of the Northwest Community Conservancy; and Kris Brown, manager of The People’s Depot, a Portland redemption center run by can collectors. They share their perspectives on how the Bottle Bill does – or doesn’t – interact with the state’s growing opioid and homelessness crises.
