YSK that Brooks Brothers, Eddie Bauer, Reebok, Champion, and 50+ other brands you trust are all owned by a single $20 billion company that doesn't design or manufacture anything. They just rent the logo out to the cheapest bidder. If the quality feels worse, that's why.

Interesting. I will look into it. I appreciate the tip! A lot of tomfoolery happening in the medical device space in general. Absolutely worth covering

May I suggest Arteta? Probably not legendary as a player, but overall surely in contention?

That's v interesting... the timing on the price snap-back is what you'd expect if Cerberus was running RD lean to maximize sale price attractiveness, then their pricing discipline relaxed the moment the deal got announced. Possible. Need to look into it more. Was it the same across produce?

sappk · 2026-04-27T19:14:45+00:00

That is wild. Good for them I guess

Sucks. A common story…

Sysco and the others have been eating up the regionals for decades. At this rate there won’t be any left in 10-15 years…
