  5. Brewery in Flagstaff helping celebrate America’s birthday

    Mother Road Brewing won the rights to brew the state beer of Arizona to celebrate America's 250th birthday this year. The design of the can was important because the team wanted to include every corner of the state. Mason Carroll has a tour and when the beer will hit store shelves.

  9. You best buys are ALWAYS AT FRY's... GUARANTEED.... Perhaps not but Fry's electronics were a NroCal and SoCal chain of a best buy meets a radio shack, meets an electronic parts supply store. Legendarily bad customer service and endless selection. They were all themed. The Palo Alto location had a Miner 49'er theme #Frys #Frys_Electronics

  14. Filing: #Kroger paid #CEO $19M in 2022, typical worker almost $29K

    "Kroger CEO #RodneyMcMullen got a 5.7% pay raise in 2022 as his compensation package climbed $1 million to $19 million, according to a corporate filing Friday morning with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

    "The head of the nation's largest supermarket retailer was paid $18 million in the previous year, according to the Associated Press' methodology for executive compensation that excludes pension value changes.

    "The typical worker got an $1,800 pay raise, climbing 7% in 2022 to $28,644. The ratio of McMullen's pay to the median Kroger worker – as required to be reported by the government – was 671 to 1, a decline from the ratio of 679 to 1 in the previous year.

    "Kroger earned a $2.2 billion #profit on sales of $148 billion last year. In 2022, Kroger contended with higher costs as inflation soared. Overall inflation eased in 2022, climbing 6.4% - slower than 7.2% a year earlier. But the cost of food purchased at #supermarkets and #supercenters rose at a faster rate: 11.8% - the worst calendar year increase since 1978, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

    "Also last year, the grocer proposed acquiring rival #Albertsons in a $25 billion takeover bid that regulators at the Federal Trade Commission are mulling whether to approve or fight.

    "In addition to Kroger stores, the Cincinnati-based grocer operates several regional supermarket chains in 35 states, including #FredMeyer, #HarrisTeeter, #Ralphs, #Marianos, #Frys, Smith's, #KingSoopers, #QFC and others. The company has nearly 2,800 stores and employs 430,000 workers."

  16. Part of my new life is purging out things before I met Jennell (2011). Found a box of cashed checks and bills from 2004-2008 and remembering how I had to mail in payments to now defunct companies #levitz #wamu #frys

  18. Its times like this that I miss computer stores that are NOT online. Gone are the days that you need a power cord or misc card and you would just run down to #frys #pcclub etc... to get what you needed. This is certainly a down-side to rise of Amazon. 😭

  23. Headed to LA for the weekend and planning to stop at Fry's Electronics... is there a particular store that's better than the others for electronics/DIY/maker-type stuff? Or is one store "the original" such that it's the one to go to if you were going for the heck of it?
