Mountain Avenue Rite Aid is Closing in Five Days

Update to my July 2 Bredemarket blog post.

As of July 21, the Rite Aid at 4th and Mountain in Ontario, California IS closing. In the next five days.

No Thrifty Ice Cream here.

And while the Thrifty Ice Cream counter at this store is empty, at least the Thrifty company survives.

No pharmacy pick up either.

More pictures below. Avoid if store closings depress you.

Aisles mostly bare, some store fixtures disassembled.
And they’re for sale.

Infrastructure!

Ontario’s Measure Q sales tax increase is funding infrastructure.

““This is a big measure for us,” he continues. “It’s going to bring in anywhere between 65 and 95 million a year in extra funding for our community.” The majority of that is going to be used for capital improvement projects like infrastructure, and so we’re really trying to make sure that our strategy for Measure Q means being transparent in where residents can see the money in their community.””

I’m Shaky

Ever since I started working from home in March 2020 (while I was still at IDEMIA), I’ve gotten used to having work-related brainstorms at 3:30 am.

So it’s Sunday at 3:30 am and I had a brilliant idea for a Wednesday Bredemarket post.

While drafting that post on my phone, I discovered an UTM-related issue in Friday’s Bredemarket post.

I couldn’t fix it on my phone, so I got up to go to the computer.

Then the house shook and a nearby car alarm went off.

We’ve had a lot of earthquakes in the 3-4 range lately.

As long as they stay small, I’m fine.

Now back to my brilliant idea…

Too Many Dollar Trees?

Are there/will there be too many Dollar Trees in or near Ontario, California?

This used to be my Alpha Beta, a grocery store chain acquired by Kroger and Albertsons.

Then it became a 99 Cents Only Store. (Actually a 99.99 Cents Only Store, but close enough.) And we know what happened there.

Now this location, on Mountain Avenue near D St. in Ontario, California, is slated to become a Dollar Tree. (Actually a Dollar Twenty Five Tree, but close enough.)

Just like the former 99 Cents Only Store on Euclid near Francis, which has already reopened as a Dollar Tree.

And just like the three Dollar Trees within a two mile radius in Ontario, Upland, and Montclair.

Maybe it’s just me, but I doubt all of them will survive. The dollar store market hasn’t gotten appreciably better.
