Kroger just posted

Received an email today that this current round is due by the 6th. It means the next round shops are likely due out this coming week.

Do not read so much, look about you and think of what you see there.

With the merger of Albertsons and Kroger and many stores being sold off---does anyone else think this program will be affected?

Yes

Rho,
Probably. but they seem to be building more Kroger stores around me, not closing any. Don't know if that has anything to do with Albertsons or not.

They just remodeled several Kroger stores near me so I hope they keep being shopped!

There was something in the news about the growing family of Kroger stores and a need to avoid a monopoly. Also, as population shifts, so should the placement of grocery stores adapt for maximum.profit potential.

End of month yet no new shops listed. The system still has shops available in Ohio area and a couple left but the new shops have not posted. Seriously has Kroger re thought the money they spend on this and lost with a merger and find the expense is too high to continue? Look a the cost involved just in our won markets not figuring in all the costs for pickup and chainwide stores they own, HT Others! I will certainly miss them if gone!
Just to make a quick edit I am new to post on here as it sounds like only fifty people talk all the times. I've been doing these since Trendsource/ MSI had them way back and it paid 14$$ and at one time you had to have report on within two hours. My reason for posting is no new shops are posted to be done and generally they are all grabbed up the first day.

There is no reason to think the sky is falling.

What date was this post started? There might be a hint in looking at that...

It's not time for new shops yet. The cycles are NOT monthly.

I did these shops with the previous MSC too, and quit working for them a couple years before the current company got the contract. It's a real relief to be able to do grocery shops again. Makes my life 100% easier.

I will not say exactly when the new shops will be posted because I did extra work to find out and don't feel like giving up a competitive advantage. However, Morledzep is correct. The cycles are not monthly. New shops have not been posted yet. Nobody missed anything.

I also used to do these for Trendsource. Much easier now.

Ohio New shops out WEDNESDAY

Some people won't share information, which is their choice, but I just don't understand the snarky or inane remarks. Why not just remain silent?

People who did the work to sign up won't give it away for free and/or risk getting in trouble with the MSC. There are already new restrictions in place due to some shoppers being outed. There is no way to be sure anyone joining the forums isn't a Kroger employee or relative. Sorry, not sorry.

If Capruto disagrees, maybe they will PM you the information off forum.

What state are you in? I am not seeing any at all in Michigan.

There are other threads here with the MSC listed, a little searching on grocery store shops will provide the company.

IN STORE SHOPS JUST POSTED. Site is unstable. May need to log out and back in.

They just posted again for October but no pickup shops at all for my area. Did they decide enought with the pickup shops???

I was wondering the same, no Pickups in my area, either.

Still no pickup shops..,

That is a possibility. Once, the pickup service is robust, the customer may not conduct these shops anymore.

Pickups are posted now

No competitor shops this month.
