General question about shops

Why are some places shop and others are not?

For example.. We have four certain pizza places where I live that are shop. However there are only two that show up on my job board at one time.

My question is how come if pizza place A located at 111 state street is shop and 5875 N Smith Lane is shop but pizza place A located at 9,666 Robin lane is not shop?

It's the same pizza place, same food, same prices, same everything (Just different employees and locations)..

The client may have requested that half their shops be done during a certain time period and the other half during another time period--perhaps the client doesn't want to deal with reports for more than half their locations at once.

Or it may be that the MSP doesn't have enough editors to deal with all the shops at once so they split them up.
Sometimes a certain large chain will have multiple locations in one town that can be franchises or corporate owned stores. Some are managed by one company while others are managed by another entirely or independently owned. Not all will participate in the MS program as they are all managed differently.

Other times, a location may be locked into a lease but not really expect much out of the store. A grocery store back home had an older location about 3/4 miles from their newer location. I saw the newer location get renovated twice in the 8 years or so I lived there while the older store got worse and worse, waiting for their lease to end. They never had new items and had few employees working. I would go there only when I was in a hurry and needed one item and didn't feel like fighting the crowds in the newer, nicer store. They finally closed down and I believe the location is still vacant to this day.

We have situations such as that ShopSouthTexas. Generally here it happens when company A purchases company B and turns all locations into company A. But Isaiah is seeing all 4 locations shopped, they are just being done in pairs rather than all in the same release.
In the last few months we had a couple of BIG grocery stores but smaller in size open up in my town. I tend to stay away from this place when we do our shopping. I just hope that these grocery stores don't close the other ones down sad smiley



Some people like this place and some people don't. Where we do most of our shopping. we are in and out about 45 minutes or so and that includes talking to most of the staff and the chip guy when he is there smiling smiley

Also it is very possible if you're talking about the chain that uses fresher ingredients than others that it could be done by two different MSCs. So perhaps one of the other 87 MSCs that shops this client may have the 2 locations you haven't seen and you're just not signed up for them.

I was thinking that could be a possibility also. But like Shop said they are owned by different people or they but not be shop

I have been into FF places and restaurants and it says independently owned

Thanks to all who have reply

I just thought of that possibility because the OP specifically mentioned pizza pie and at one time the 4 locations in my town were shopped by 2 different MSCs. If that was just a random example then yes, it could be a franchise vs corporate thing or a myriad of other reasons.

Ahhhh, I guess I skimmed your question and I apologize. I see what you are asking now. I know with good ol' MF, my rotation of shopping the same location makes it where only some locations are visible to me at one time. But Flash probably has it correct with the company doing their own rotation.
