Kroger unveils its "deli of the future" in a new Kentucky marketplace store, sponsored by the A&M Consumer and Retail Group, Mirakl, Ocampo Capital, Infios, and Quorso. The 6,500 square foot prepared food section features open kitchens, made-to-order sandwiches, and premium offerings like Murray's cheese and Snow Fox sushi. Anne sees potential for additional trip occasions, while Chris questions whether this innovation addresses Kroger's real challenges with their existing store base.

Pablo Garces and Katherine Black talk Kroger (KR) earnings and consumer health after its CEO gave comments about shopper pullback. Pablo notes “more frequent, smaller baskets” as economic pressures persist, and he thinks Kroger must use its differentiators to gain market share. Katherine thinks they have an advantage because they are less impacted by tariffs by having a bigger grocery section than competitors, but they need to be very careful around pricing.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Burt Flickinger joins Diane King Hall at the NYSE set to dive into the retail and grocery sector. He says Kroger's (KR) latest earnings report "couldn't have been better" and says they'll "mop the floor with Albertsons (ACI)." Burt believes the scuttled merger between Kroger and Albertsons was ultimately a better course of action. In terms of approaching the retail space, he says "food is the place to be for safety" and believes that grocery stocks will offer investors value. Burt compares Kroger to other grocery retailers like Walmart (WMT), Target (TGT) and Costco (COST).======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – / schwabnetwork Follow us on Facebook – / schwabnetwork Follow us on LinkedIn - / schwab-network About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

Food inflation saw its largest increase of the year last month, Kroger's ecommerce division drove a big quarter, and your c-store candy bar is getting more expensive.

In this week's Omni Talk Retail Fast Five, sponsored by the A&M Consumer and Retail Group, Mirakl, Ocampo Capital, Infios, and Quorso, Chris and Anne discussed: Sam's Club's brilliant app redesign — Anne and I break down why this move is so genius and what other retailers can and cannot learn from it. Gap's beauty gamble — The company wants to expand into beauty and accessories across all brands, starting with Old Navy. Is this Richard Dickson's next stroke of genius, or are they about to learn why Nintendo doesn't sell makeup? Albertsons' retail media evolution — Three new channels including influencer matching and premium in-store screens. We explore whether this “evolve or die” mentality is what separates winners from losers in retail media. Kroger's “deli of the future” — A 6,500-square-foot prepared food section that's supposed to revolutionize grocery. Anne loves the concept, but I'm asking the hard questions about scalability and architectural debt. Office Depot's 15-minute promise — They're guaranteeing pickup in 15 minutes or you get a $15 coupon but will this idea put too much strain on the store team? There's all that, plus we announce this month's OmniStar award winner Katherine Dela Cruz Paulk from Fabletics in partnership with Quorso, and dive into everything from New York Fashion Week to whether AI-generated movies are worth your theater ticket money.

Likefolio's Landon Swan looks at Kroger (KR) ahead of earnings. He notes a “widening gap” in the price of eating out and cooking at home that grocery stores are benefitting from. However, they're “in the middle” of grocery store performance based on Likefolio's visits data.

Freeze dried chicken! 50% off with code WAM50! https://wambeef.com/ HELP SUPPORT US AS WE DOCUMENT HISTORY HERE: https://gogetfunding.com/help-keep-wam-alive/# Josh Sigurdson talks with Mark Gonzales about the historic signals by Wall Street investors as the inflation guage shows prices skyrocketing despite claims that the Trump tariffs would rebound for the economy. Currently the official inflation rate sits at 2.9%, continuously rising from previous months. However, when you use the same method of calculation from before the 1980s which is far more accurate, the inflation rate actually sits at over 10%. The unemployment rate also sits in reality according to John Williams of Shadow Stats at around 27%. Of course the employment rate given by given by the government has been incorrect for decades. People need to take into account the Labor Force Participation Rate rather than the unreliable Employment Rate data as the official numbers are skewed. Many unemployed are not considered unemployed after a short period of time. There are mass layoffs happening across the board as major grocery chains like Kroger have shut 60 locations, set to be completed by the end of 2026. If people cannot spend money into the economy, then stores can't afford to pay employees which leads to more people being unable to spend money into the economy. This is a disaster waiting to happen. As global food prices surge in the face of a supply chain crisis, restaurants are bringing back 2008 era "recession specials" which mean low cost items across the board. Meanwhile, nearly half of US adults say they regularly order from the kid's menu when eating out. While Biden claimed the economy was great when it wasn't and was rightly called out by millions of people for it, Trump is doing the exact same thing right now. Some of his supporters say there is a wave of prosperity coming, we just need to give it time. Economic and market indicators do not show that. There is a concerted effort to devastate the economy in order to bring in a new digital system of money linked to social credit. It is beyond obvious where this is heading right now as nearly every nation on earth begins to roll out CBDCs. Are you prepared? Stay tuned for more from WAM!

Host Jeremy C. Park talks with Missy Acosta, Senior Vice President of Brand Experience for Delta Dental of Tennessee, and Adam English, General Manager and Chief Operating Officer with the Nashville Sounds, who highlight the origins and evolution of the annual Kids Dental Day, which has grown over the last four years to include a number of partnerships providing shoe and book distributions and a variety of educational activities that serve hundreds of kids across Middle Tennessee at First Horizon Park baseball stadium.In 2022, the Nashville Sounds partnered with Delta Dental of Tennessee to create Kids Dental Day as a way to foster a day of fun and provide dental care and other related services to kids in need. Over the years, the event has expanded greatly thanks to a number of partnerships with organizations like cityCURRENT, Samaritan's Feet, Kroger, Higginbotham Insurance, Meharry Medical College, Neighborhood Health, Hope Smiles, Book'em, Nashville PBS, American Heart Association, the Adventure Science Center, Henry Schein, Dunkin' Donuts, and more. As a result, the event has evolved from providing simple dental screenings to a comprehensive day of care including dental check-ups and cleanings, a shoe distribution, new books, and tons of fun educational activities designed to help prepare the kids for the new school year ahead.During the interview, Missy and Adam talk about how the event has grown significantly over four years, the power of collaborating with multiple partners and services, including participation from dental students, local businesses, and community organizations, and what the event means to the kids served. They discuss plans to further expand the event's reach and impact by adding more partners and services, while emphasizing the importance of long-term commitment and advance planning for logistics and participation.Visit www.KidsDentalDay.com to learn more about the annual Kids Dental Day and how your nonprofit or company can get involved.Visit https://deltadentaltn.com to learn more about Delta Dental of Tennessee.

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.

Story of the Week (DR):End of summer anti-woke bro rage brigade MMNew Cracker Barrel Logo Sparks Right-Wing Backlash—From Trump Jr. And MoreMAGA erupts over Cracker Barrel logo change, and stock plungesRight-Winger, Others Call Out 'Woke' New Change To Cracker Barrel's Peg GameThe goal of the game is to whittle down the number of pegs on the board to one through a series of “jumping” pegs, not unlike checkers. Previously, directions on the game explained that people who have only one peg left on the board are geniuses, while people with two pegs left are “pretty smart.” However, if you leave three pegs, the game considers you “dumb,” while anyone who leaves four pegs is an “EG-NO-RA-MOOOSE.”That was the old game. New peg games have removed the playful insults and instead say, “leave three or more ― no reason to be embarrassed. Try again.”Sean Davis, the CEO of The Federalist: Cracker Barrel didn't just destroy its logo and restaurant vibe. It also changed the peg game to make dumb people feel better when they do poorly.Until October 2017, The Federalist had a "black crime" tag, which aggregated articles related to criminal activity by African AmericansChristian College's Hot Take On Cracker Barrel Has People Saying, ‘Huh?'Hillsdale College in Michigan: A post on its official account on X (formerly Twitter) likened the updated logo to a vandalized statue of President George Washington that was defaced during the 2020 protests over the police killing of George Floyd.MAGA Rep Drags Jesus Christ Into ‘Woke' Cracker Barrel MeltdownCongressman Byron Donalds slammed the restaurant chain for daring to rebrand after he had a religious experience in one of its Florida parking lots: “In college, I worked at @CrackerBarrel in Tallahassee,” the Florida Republican wrote on X, “I even gave my life to Christ in their parking lot. Their logo was iconic and their unique restaurants were a fixture of American culture. No one asked for this woke rebrand.”‘Cracker barrel goes woke': CEO under MAGA fire for changing logo first time in 48 years, removes ‘white guy'Steak 'n Shake slams Cracker Barrel CEO for eliminating 'old-timer' from logo: 'We take pride in our history'“This is what happens when you have a board that does not respect their historical customers or their brand.At Steak n Shake, we have gone back to basics. Our tallow fries are waiting for you. Oh yeah, you can also now pay with Bitcoin!”Entrepreneur Sardar Biglari owns Steak ‘n ShakeOwns 9.3% of Cracker barreltook control of Steak 'n Shake in August 2008 after three years of declining same-store sales and losses of $100,000 per day.Biglari controls the Steak 'n Shake Company, First Guard Insurance, Abraxas Petroleum, Maxim, Southern Oil of Louisiana, Southern Pioneer Insurance and the Western Sizzlin' corporation. Biglari was born in Iran in 1977However the chain ran into more problems in 2016 and onward, with revenue declining sharply.In 2021, Steak N' Shake made a strategic decision to transition away from casual dining and become a fast food restaurant. Steak 'n Shake replaced lunch counters with self-serve kiosks in 2021 to improve efficiency and reduce costs. Changing the service model allowed a significant reduction of store staffIn 2024, Biglari fought and lost a proxy contest with Cracker Barrel, trying to get himself and two buddies on the CB board.This marks the sixth time since 2011 that Biglari has initiated a proxy contest seeking seats on the Board (the fourth time for Sardar Biglari personally), and the seventh contested solicitation overall during that span.POP QUIZ:Was that the original logo?No. The Cracker Barrel chain opened first in 1969 and had a text-only logo. In 1977, the famous logo with a man and a barrel was introduced.Is Cracker Barrel's new-ish CEO (11/23) a man or a woman?Cracker Barrel CEO Julie Felss Masino and the new logo controversyMs. Masino previously served as the President, International of Taco Bell, a subsidiary of Yum! Brands, Inc. (NYSE: YUM) from January 2020 to June 2023. From January 2018 to December 2019, she served as President, North America of Taco Bell.“Cracker Barrel's new logo isn't an accident — it's CEO Julie Felss Masino's project. She scrapped a beloved American aesthetic and replaced it with sterile, soulless branding.”Benny Johnson said the logo change could cause the company to collapse in a similar way that Target and other stores that embraced DEI (diversity, equity and inclusion) did.‘Go woke, you go broke:' Ohio faith leaders urge Kroger to abandon LGBTQ+ policiesTrump calls on Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook to resignLisa DeNell Cook is an American economist who has served as a member of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors since May 23, 2022.
