Article about GS says that Marcus is not profitable, lol what a major surprise
That MtM article is just clickbait, that is no “Financial Review”.
Not too happy about the Kroger/Albertsons news. Both have their unique advantages for our hobby.
Hopefully it takes awhile to get implemented…
Quite likely this merger won’t be approved.
I wonder which rewards program will survive the Kroger-Albertsons merger. Kroger partners with Shell, while Albertsons partners with Chevron and Texaco, and the reward programs work somewhat differently too. Remember, it’s not necessarily the buyer: US Airways technically bought American Airlines, but it was the American Airlines AAdvantage program that survived, not the US Airways program.
I agree with your broader question, though it feels like it will be less impactful than when two airlines merge. And FWIW, the Kroger brands in SE Wisconsin (Pick n Save, Metro Market) are partnered with BP and not Shell … I assume it is somehow regional.
Albertson’s (Jewel) for me partners with Exxon and Kroger (Mariano’s) partners with BP/Arco.
We’re not going to see any more of the relatively generous Marcus bonuses, I reckon.
