@cshentrup Walmart famously cultivated a (deserved) reputation for everyday low prices, made its profits by strategically raising prices on subsets of goods, relying on the everyday low profits reputation to draw customers in who would presume these goods would be around best-price when they were not.
Fred Meyer has an opportunity with u to do the same!
Under competitive markets, relative prices certainly wld vary btw stores offering similar quality+services. (WF is a different amenities tier)
