Case of the disappearing mystery shop

September 17, 2024 12:13AM
I was looking over my shops from last year and realized there are a few that I have not seen recently. Do you have any that you have not seen around for a while or seem to be gone for good?

My list:
Lush
Boiling Crab
iFly
Amazon Fresh (admittedly, I have not been looking so they might be around still)
Gopuff

Yup, no more Lush or Boiling Crab near me, also on the bye-bye list are Gyroville, Tom Thumb, Publix, Chevy's, Pincho Factory, Blaze Pizza, and Supercuts.

I still see BWW but maybe it's a regional thing? Never shopped them so I don't know that much about the program.

BWW actually has/had some very good hamburgers when I shopped them.

I did Lush in May. I saw GoPuff around June, but it was an alcohol related one I didn't want to do. I haven't seen iFly all year, I don't think. I've seen some Amazon ones, but all delivery.

Amazon Fresh is being shopped by the "Who Wants a Burger" outfit.

I did Lush for the Burger Bros MSC in December. I wish it would come back. That was the first time I purchased from them and now my 9 year old is obsessed.

Regarding Lush, I am pretty cheap. Sometimes if I'm at the mall, I just ask for samples. Makes for a nice solution when traveling overnight.[/quote]

Lush closed many shops once their leases were up. I think the shops went by the wayside.

Love the Lush products, but never saw shops for them in my area. Maybe I wasn't looking?

As for the OQ, I miss the Cafe Zupas shops.

Always good for a meal a week or so, and I enjoyed the variety available, and the beverage bar. I will still pop in occasionally on my own dime.

Have synthesizers, will travel...

Not sure if it's still around - Google Pay shops. Also, for two years straight, there was a large study of grocery competitors that could last a month. I didn't see it this year. It may have been a temporary thing with a specific client in my area.

Restaurants and cafes through a large luxury department store. After COVID, these shops were gone. The retail ones got moved to another MSC, cutting more than half the pay, and I never really followed it anymore going forward.

Oh, ouch.

No more bi-mart in my area, sadly. Hint at the msc that does lush?

Wingstop is still shopped in my area. Maybe there's more than one MS company doing them.

I loved the luxury department store cafe shop and it was great while shopping with one of my DDs Never took a purchase shop as it required a return.

We see Lush at our mall but never entered. One DD did receive bath bombs as a gift last year. I may venture in.
