Michigan’s retail landscape is changing fast

Empty storefronts and 'Store Closing' signs are popping up across Michigan as five major retail chains—Macy’s, GameStop, Advance Auto Parts, Big Lots, and Walgreens—pull back in 2026. For folks in Grand Rapids, Ann Arbor, and smaller towns, this means fewer shopping options, longer drives for basics, and even some neighborhoods losing their only pharmacy. Clearance sales might offer short-term deals, but the long-term impact could reshape how we shop, work, and connect locally. How do you think these closures will affect your daily routine or your community’s vibe? #Business #LocalBusiness #Michigan

Eugene’s campus businesses need us now

Construction near 13th and Alder has made it nearly impossible for small businesses to survive—parking is gone, sidewalks are blocked, and sales are plummeting. Local favorites like Cluckin’ Dog, Bree’s Way, and Sy’s Pizza are hanging on by a thread, with owners working overtime just to keep the lights on. These shops aren’t just places to eat or shop—they’re part of what makes Eugene’s campus area unique and welcoming. If you want to see these businesses stick around, now’s the time to show up, grab a bite, or pick up a gift. What do you think could help them get through this tough stretch? #Business #LocalBusiness #Eugene

Costco Parking Woes: Worth the Wait?

Ever felt like you need a game plan just to park at Costco? You’re not alone. A new survey says the best Costcos are in the Midwest and South, while East Coast stores are infamous for parking nightmares and long lines. Still, fans swear by their local spot for cheap gas, free samples, and those $1.50 hot dogs. Pro tip: If you’re in a rush, try off-peak hours or check if your store lets you tally up your cart before the register. Even the 'worst' Costco is still a win for your wallet! #Business #LocalBusiness #CostcoHacks

Amazon’s Mega Store: Shopping Meets Pickup

Amazon’s going big in Chicago with a superstore that’s part grocery, part everything-else, and part order pickup hub. Imagine grabbing dinner, stocking up on snacks, and picking up your online orders—all in one stop. The twist? Regular shoppers and delivery drivers use separate entrances, so you won’t get stuck behind a line of pickup folks. It’s Amazon’s way of blending online convenience with real-world shopping. Will this finally crack the code for in-person Amazon stores? #Business #LocalBusiness #Amazon

Francesca’s closing: What’s next for Boise malls?

Francesca’s, a favorite women’s boutique at Boise Towne Square Mall and The Village at Meridian, is shutting down all its stores for good.
