ibarra Posted November 21, 2023 Report Share Posted November 21, 2023 They had bags of dog food but not Kirkland brand. They had 2 different kinds of dog biscuits, rawhide chews and Barky's jerky treats. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lexy Posted November 21, 2023 Report Share Posted November 21, 2023 Hola! Riberas looks great, well supplied with items I usually order from Lakeside Shopping Services (owned by the same nice people). And from the Riberas store one can buy single items instead of bulk from Costco. However there are some things I still want by the case (bottled water, Kirkland green tea) and to do that at Hola! is a problem for me physically: carrying them into my house. I realize they're still in the process of working out the logistics. So I emailed to say I'd be glad to pay a delivery fee for having cases brought to my door. It's very likely there are other customers like me who want cases of stuff. It's a delight to have an Hola! market in the neighborhood.

Mad_Max Posted November 23, 2023 Report Share Posted November 23, 2023 I was there yesterday - as was a friend - we both grabbed some cans of 411 gm kirkland organic diced tomatoes marked at 25 pesos each. When I got to the cash register they rang up 185p (i am not sure if for one or two - I think for each) . I related they were marked 25 p and without a groan they repriced at 25 pesos. I will be back - good customer service. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We didn't question that as it was less than the listed price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is what the page had said, I took it to mean, they are selling out the stock. I see now it does not say that any longer.... and yes, a typo...

HoneyBee Posted January 6 Report Share Posted January 6 So I decided to stop by the Hola market today to see is they had jerky sticks. They had them and the price was 230 pesos a bag. Bought 2 because Costco sells them at 210 pesos a bag and from memory Pancho's sells them at around 340 pesos a bag. So my days going to Costco are over 😊 Just hope Pancho's does not find a way to put them out of business. Some of you may remember the grocery store that was located where the Tuesday market now operates. It was operated by a couple from Texas. Me and my mom use to shop there back in I think 2008. Well every week there was less and less stuff on the shelves and one day they just closed. The story I got is that Superlake where paying customs to hold back containers of stuff for this business. (Yes money rules in Mexico). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously it would be impossible to bribe hundreds of agents to scan thousands of importations daily to look for one individual company. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NEWMtnMama Posted January 6 Author Report Share Posted January 6 I think Hola! Market has a winning business plan since they already have an arrangement with Costco. There are 3 or 4 cars in the lot whenever I drive by. Garage Gourmet is another story. They don't seem to have cars in their lot very often at all. For me they don't carry items that I buy. So it goes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad_Max Posted January 6 Report Share Posted January 6 an interesting way of measuring success is sales per square foot - that of course gets challenging to measure when they do receive some money for sales that are not sales per square foot. Also - when in Hola, Fresh and Gourmet, is it apparent that they aren't thinking about sales per square foot - so assume they really don't have such a thing as a business plan or at least a worthwhile one - HA. Here is Trader Joes Trivia - In 2020, grocery chain Trader Joe's gross average revenue per square foot was about $2,130—nearly double its competitors.

HoneyBee Posted January 6 Report Share Posted January 6 Drove by Garage Gourmet today and from what I could see they seemed to be closing their business (shelving's where empty). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sea Posted January 7 Report Share Posted January 7 Gourmet Garage is moving to the Centro Laguna Mall. A much smaller location. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mad_Max Posted January 7 Report Share Posted January 7 No more gourmet garage as their new mall name is gourmet goods. So now you know where to go to purchase gourmet cheetos I wish them success - just seems like a strange move for them. I did try to purchase some products from them but could not find anything needed or wanted 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sea Posted January 7 Report Share Posted January 7 They occasionally sold gourmet Fritos also. Not consistently. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rafterbr Posted January 7 Report Share Posted January 7 When I went to Garage the things I looked at were not priced and when I bought something it was always more than I expected. They could not compete with Pancho's and Hola Market put them out of business. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
