After Scolari's - what to do

[o4asf260]

It is my understanding that Scolari's has closed down at Lemmon Valley turnoff after many years of supporting the races. Any suggestions for a preferred store to spend our air race dollars with? Anyone selling ticket packages in the local area?

I would prefer to spend with those that support the races actively or otherwise. Thanks all - Bob

Precious Metal has a new sponsor that is on the way into the races.

I believe they're in the same location as Scolari's use to be.

Yes they are in the old building and the manager is a supporter.
There are still a couple of Scolari's in town, one on South Virginia and the one on Robb Drive is still open I think. I have not looked into whether they still give ticket discounts.
There are also a WalMart and a Smith's at Lemmon Valley if Grocery Outlet doesn't have something you need.

Is Scolari's closing down all of their stores?

Re: After Scolari's - what to do

They've been downsizing but I don't know their plan.
There is a member here who's wife (I think) either works for them or did. They might know.
I do know that my wife follows the blogs and chats for our valley (Cold Springs, the next one north of Stead) and the Grocery Outlet manager is very cool, serious about the local community and responsive to problems. He reads the blogs and responds to praise, criticism and suggestions if that counts!
We go there first, then Smith's to get those few things they don't carry.

Sounds like good references and a place worth supporting. Thanks!

Getting tickets there was a bonus, but they got all of the business for our groups four days of racing.

The Scolari's in Lemmon Valley closed after the Walmart opened across the street and siphoned most of their business. No surprise there, it happens across the country. This is from the manager at Scolari's before they closed.

Yes Grocery Outlet sponsors Knotty Girl and Precious Metal. Great supporters of the air races.

Dean and Sara, the owners of Lemmon Valley Grocery Outlet are supporting Precious Metal and Knotty Girl this year. They have been fabulous to work with. Go support the local Grocery Outlet!!

Good enough for me. I will chose to support the new sponsor. BUT, the Scolari family has long supported the NCAR and I believe are still on the RARA board. The economics of the Lemmon Valley location could no longer support the store. As a local, I am still a loyal customer at other Scolari's locations (they have excellent deli sandwiches and a good beer cooler).

Re: After Scolari's - what to do

The only two Scolaris that will remain open as far as I know are the Caughlin Ranch store and the Pyramid Way store. I think Sac-N-Save too but, not 100% sure. They are downsizing the company. I do my shopping at Raley's now. There is a Raley's right off 395N in Golden Valley (just before Lemmon Valley).

I haven't been to Grocery Outlet yet. If they are supporting the races though, I'll do my race week shopping there since I'll be passing by it every day anyways.

That is why all the Walmart heirs are billionaires. They drove all the mom and pop stores out of business. What you gonna do? Give your business to local businesses.

There are high costs associated with the low prices........

Re: After Scolari's - what to do

The remaining Scolari's stores still offer the $5.00 off admission tickets.
