Re: Kroger Chain Stores: Regions and Sale Cycle Can i get another set of eyes on this to confirm what I suspect is true?
We live in Phoenix, AZ, and are on the Wed-Tue cycle. Our current Fry's (Kroger) sales ad is easy to spot across other regions because it's the Mother's Day and the Buy 10/Save 5 paper. Dead obvious ads. When I looked at folks ahead of us in terms of WEEKDAY (the Tennessee River Valley, Richmond, Virginia, etc., who are Sun-Sat), their ad is the same Mother's Day, yadda, but its start date isn't Sunday BEFORE us, it's the Sunday AFTER us.
Is Phoenix (and Los Angeles, Chicago, Salt Lake City, Central Kansas, etc., who I found are also with us on the Wed-Tue cycle and have the same ad and dates this week that we do)... Are we FIRST in line? Is this week (perhaps because of Mother's Day) an atypical week? Can Phoenix sneak peek ANYONE'S ads? =(
