Kroger’s Post

New Whole Foods opened in Jersey City, NJ The area is like a mini Manhattan. With 51,156 square feet of space, the Jersey City, NJ store (located on the corner of Washington Street and Columbus Drive) is slightly bigger than the average Whole Foods store — and nearly twice the size of the nearby Weehawken(NJ) location that opened in 2019. Exchange Place neighborhood, tricky parking, to combat that, there is a parking garage attached to the building with multiple levels of spots reserved for Whole Foods customers. You can park there free for 90 minutes if you spend $10 or more in the store. Whole Foods immediately becomes the preeminent grocery store in Jersey City, and the most expensive. ShopRite, Acme and Key Food are nearby downtown, Stop & Shop and Supremo are in the Heights and a CTown is situated in McGinley Square. None bring Whole Foods selection and quality to the table, but that comes with a price. While the arrival ….has been heralded by residents, it also comes at a time of great change for the city. The store is surrounded by high-rise buildings that have become more prominent throughout Jersey City. As those buildings have risen, so have rents in the city — in 2022, it was named the most expensive city for renters in the United States. Whole Foods Market #nynjfoodguru https://lnkd.in/eja5tmbw

This was an ongoing concern. Improvements allow adding/linking specials to card/number. The issue has been phones, phone capabilities, households. People recommend doing from computer. Not all have computer. Online delivery orders and curbside present challenges. Order changes involve another service. Payment method card access is accessible to temporary help. Multiple “hand held” and mobile devices retain information. Cross sharing. I asked why all coupons and specials are unable to be linked to Kroger Card number, instead of selected coupons? I didn’t receive a response. I’ve noticed modifications and improvements on a monthly basis. Sometimes, improvement is reversed after a short period? Some locations, have admitted to customers, they are targeting “younger” shoppers. Other locations, intentionally, stocked and set up for families, with children. I’ve noticed, some efforts, in grocery to sell smaller portions and packaging for singles, couples and elderly. Prices were more expensive, in some cases. Same in others. Self serve, allowing personalized quantity selection, were/are difficult to manage. Remodels have been in progress for Walmart, Kroger and Meijer. Store designs and products are based on statistical, demographics captured by rewards cards and local agencies. Scan check out areas have gone through, several, revisions in “software” and processing, in recent 2+ years. Sometimes, new systems were changed, again, within a short period of time.
