Is Meijer Rivertown Really A Meijer Store?

[Richard]

Coupons are loss leaders,to get you into the store and buy more product,in smaller stores you are not going to go in and fill your cart.

Where I am at the smaller wal-mart marketplace stores,same concept,are actually higher then if you go into the grown up stores,so even if they honored coupons the discount would be the same price as if you would have purchased in the big store.

Smaller stores are more convenient,thats what you pay extra for,the real estate is more expensive for them so less incentive to offer discounts.

Target is still going to be Target located in City Club,they do not have the same items as the regular stores,smaller packages etc. so you will not be able to use a like for like coupon and you will not be able to find the exact same items at each location for the most part.

Thats what all of the smaller market place type stores do,smaller footprint,smaller packages,that’s the issue I have even with places like Aldi,you can buy one pound of sugar but not 5#,2# or 3# of potato’s not 5 or 10 #

they are really supplemental stores that if that is your only source,then you have to go shopping every week,even worse most only carry 1 brand of nasty coffee.

Like our Cash n Carry stores,you can buy any brand of coffee that you want as long as it is Chock full o nuts brand.

Targets stated goal is locating around the younger crowd unban style in order to retain them as customers as they get married and have families,if you are more then 2 people,it’s an expensive way to shop in both time and value,but it does serve its purpose,quick in and out and convenient.

If you are looking for couponing value,not the place for you,the good part is,for the most part the shoppers do not wear pajamas like they do in other places.
