Megan Garcia+FollowTarget’s Texas Takeover: What’s In It For You?Heads up, Texas shoppers! Target’s popping up everywhere—six new stores are coming to North Texas and Houston next year. Why does this matter? More Targets mean more job openings, easier grocery runs, and those sweet same-day pickups just got closer to home. The real win: Target wants to be within 10 minutes of your couch, so last-minute snack runs or home upgrades are about to get way easier. Anyone else planning a Target run just for fun? #Business #LocalBusiness #TargetRun00Share
carlsongary+FollowWalmart Shakes Up Store Jobs—What’s Changing?Walmart’s making some behind-the-scenes changes: they’re trimming certain support and training roles to keep things running smoother. If you know someone who helps managers crunch numbers or trains new hires, their job might be shifting. The upside? Walmart says they’ll offer new roles to those affected, like coaching gigs. For shoppers, this could mean more staff on the floor and better service in busy stores. Just another reminder that even retail giants have to keep adapting! #Business #LocalBusiness #Walmart7368Share
Bryan Grant+FollowKids Buying Nicotine Pouches? Yikes!Did you know kids can legally buy those sweet-flavored nicotine pouches at your local shop? Because of a legal loophole, there’s no age limit yet, so these colorful, candy-like pouches are popping up right next to the checkout. It’s a classic case of 'new product, old problem'—just as single-use vapes get banned, another sneaky habit slides in. Heads up, parents: these pouches are super discreet and easy to miss. Lawmakers are scrambling to close the gap, but for now, keep an eye out! #Business #LocalBusiness #ParentingTips30Share
Jordan Williams+FollowWhy 7-Eleven Said 'No Thanks' to a BuyoutSo, Couche-Tard (the folks behind Circle K) tried to buy Japan’s 7-Eleven stores, but talks fizzled out. Basically, 7-Eleven’s parent company wasn’t playing ball, leaving Couche-Tard frustrated and walking away. For shoppers, this means your favorite conbini snacks and late-night runs aren’t changing hands anytime soon. The real drama? Even global giants can’t always seal the deal when the other side ghosts your meetings! #Business #LocalBusiness #BusinessNews239Share
Jasmine Rush+FollowCostco Faves Gone? Here’s What to Buy NowCostco just axed some cult-favorite Kirkland goodies—soy milk, mango salsa, four cheese ravioli, and chocolate chips are off the shelves. Soy milk fans can swap in Trader Joe’s or try oat milk for now. Salsa lovers, check out La Mexicana or Mrs. Renfro’s (just watch for recalls). Ravioli diehards: Target and Walmart have cheesy alternatives worth a taste test. And for bakers, Walmart’s chocolate chips are a solid budget pick. Time to get creative with your grocery list! #Business #LocalBusiness #CostcoFinds31Share
Jordan Williams+FollowFry’s Moves In Before the Tech GiantsHeads up, Avondale locals! Fry’s Marketplace is setting up shop first at the new Hermosa Ranch tech campus—yep, before all those fancy data centers. City Council just flipped the script, putting your grocery runs ahead of server farms. So, you’ll get your shopping fix sooner, while the tech giants wait their turn. Looks like your next snack run could be part of a high-tech neighborhood! #Business #LocalBusiness #AvondaleAZ00Share
Kim Brown+FollowCostco’s New Stores: Worth the Hype?Heads up, Costco lovers! Seven shiny new Costcos are opening soon, with exact dates just dropped. While other big stores are quietly closing up shop, Costco’s going full throttle—aiming for 27 new spots this year. The catch? Thanks to new tariffs, you might see shortages on some fan-fave items. But hey, more locations mean shorter lines and maybe even a closer gas station for your next cheap fill-up. Worth checking out if you’re a bulk-buying pro! #Business #LocalBusiness #CostcoNews40Share
Nicole Washington+FollowWhy Is Everyone Still Betting on UNH?UnitedHealth’s stock just took a hit after some behind-the-scenes money moves and losing a big pharmacy contract to CVS. Even with all the drama—like selling off business units and counting those gains as regular earnings—retail investors are still super optimistic. If you’re watching your 401(k), this is a reminder: sometimes Wall Street’s favorite stocks have more plot twists than your favorite show. Always check what’s really behind those ‘earnings beats’ before you buy the dip! #Business #LocalBusiness #StockMarket00Share
Kim Brown+FollowBarnes & Noble’s Big Comeback?Thought bookstores were toast? Not so fast! Barnes & Noble is quietly opening dozens of new stores, betting big that people still love the feel (and look) of real books. Turns out, most Americans prefer print over e-books, and the chain’s new strategy—letting local managers run stores like indie shops—has sparked a retail revival. So if you miss browsing shelves and coffee-sipping with a paperback, your local B&N might be making a comeback near you! #Business #LocalBusiness #BookstoreRevival40Share
Megan Garcia+FollowWalmart Chicken: Weigh Before You Pay?Ever wonder if that pack of chicken from Walmart is really as heavy as the label says? Shoppers are buzzing after a viral video showed a 6.39-pound chicken pack weighing just over 4 pounds on a home scale. Turns out, some folks think they're paying for more than they get—and not just with chicken. Pro tip: If you’re buying by weight, double-check at home and keep your receipt. You might spot a sneaky shrink! #Business #LocalBusiness #Walmart00Share
