Bryan Grant+FollowSchererville’s Last Chance Overstock closing: Huge deals nowEverything must go at Last Chance Overstock in Schererville, with closing sales slashing prices up to 60% on clothing, furniture, and more. Locals are grabbing deals on everything from coffee pods to armchairs, but once it’s gone, it’s gone for good. This store’s shutdown is just one example of the wave of retail closures sweeping the country as shopping habits shift and big names like Macy’s and Walgreens also shutter locations. How are these changes affecting your shopping routine or favorite stores? Let’s talk about what this means for our community and where you’re finding the best bargains now. #Business #LocalBusiness #Schererville00Share
christinewhite+FollowWhy Your Favorite Stores Might Vanish by 2026Heads up, mall walkers and deal hunters: nearly 300 big-name stores are set to close by 2026. Think Macy’s, Carter’s, and even some go-to craft shops like Joann. Why? More of us are clicking “add to cart” instead of browsing aisles. That means fewer spots to try on clothes or grab last-minute supplies, and more empty storefronts in your local shopping center. Time to get comfy with online shopping—and maybe scout new hangout spots! #Business #LocalBusiness #RetailTrends00Share
Jasmine Rush+FollowCostco Kirkland vs Brands: The Real Savings HackNext time you’re at Costco, skip the name brands and load up on Kirkland Signature products. I compared carts and found Kirkland’s versions were up to 89% cheaper—especially on pharmacy items like allergy meds and pain relievers. Even basics like water, cheese, and batteries were way less. If you’re buying in bulk, Kirkland is basically a money-saving cheat code. Those savings can even cover your membership fee! #Business #LocalBusiness #CostcoHacks00Share
Bryan Grant+FollowVirginia malls face major store shakeup in 2026Big changes are coming to Virginia’s shopping scene in 2026—iconic names like Big Lots and Advance Auto Parts are shutting down locations across the state, leaving big gaps in local strip malls and shopping centers. Norfolk’s MacArthur Center is losing tenants fast, and Richmond’s LL Flooring is scaling back after bankruptcy. Even though Macy’s is safe for now, more closures could be on the horizon. If you’ve got gift cards for these stores, use them ASAP! What do you think will fill all these empty storefronts? Are malls in Virginia headed for a total transformation? #Business #LocalBusiness #VirginiaRetail00Share

Amanda Carroll+FollowSaks Fifth Avenue Drama: Sales Incoming?Heads up, luxury lovers: Saks Fifth Avenue’s parent company just filed for bankruptcy, but your favorite store isn’t closing its doors—at least not yet. The company bit off more than it could chew buying Neiman Marcus and Bergdorf Goodman, and now it’s selling off some real estate and closing underperforming stores to pay down debt. The upside? Keep an eye out for big sales as they try to stay afloat! #Business #LocalBusiness #SaksFifthAvenue00Share
john72+FollowBig changes coming to New York malls in 2026Major shakeups are hitting New York’s malls and neighborhoods in 2026, and it’s not just a city thing—suburbs are feeling it too. Macy’s is leaving Boulevard Mall in Amherst, basically ending the mall era there as it shifts to a new “town center” vibe. In Brooklyn, Stop & Shop’s Flatbush location is closing, making grocery shopping tougher for locals. Big Lots is pulling out of several upstate and Long Island spots, while Walgreens is thinning out stores in the city and upstate, creating pharmacy deserts. Even TGI Fridays is vanishing from suburban parking lots. How do you think these closures will change your shopping or daily routine? #Business #LocalBusiness #NewYork00Share
john72+FollowWhy Your Grocery Bill Isn’t DroppingHere’s a quick money hack: Even though we’re still shopping, we’re not buying more—just paying more. December’s retail numbers show that prices keep climbing, but we’re hitting our spending limits. Groceries cost more, but we’re not tossing extra in the cart. Fun stuff like gadgets and games? We’re buying less. If you want to save, skip the impulse buys and wait for something truly new or useful. Retailers need to get creative to win us back! #Business #LocalBusiness #RetailTrends00Share

Grab those deals before they’re gone! #Business #LocalBusiness #Francescas10Share
Bryan Grant+FollowWhy Your Change Is Getting Rounded UpHeads up: your penny jar could be more valuable than you think! With the U.S. pausing new penny production, stores are running low and many are rounding your change up to the nearest nickel. Some spots even offer gift cards or freebies for your spare coins. So, if you’re paying cash, don’t be surprised if you get a little bonus—or get asked to use a card instead. Time to cash in that coin stash! #Business #LocalBusiness #MoneyHacks11Share
