Another favorite spot gone overnight

It’s wild how one day you’re grabbing brunch at your go-to spot, and the next, it’s just…gone. Bobcat Bonnie’s in Ferndale closed overnight, and now only one location is left (and even that one’s future is shaky). Makes me wonder: with so many local restaurants shutting down so suddenly, are we losing the places that make our neighborhoods feel like home? How do these closures change where we eat, hang out, or even connect with friends? #Business #localbusiness #restaurantclosures

Walmart’s makeover: What’s in it for us?

Walmart is giving a major facelift to hundreds of stores in CT, NY, and MA this year, promising a fresher look, more options, and easier pickup and delivery. For those of us who rely on Walmart for groceries, pharmacy runs, or last-minute shopping, this could mean shorter lines and better service—or maybe just more temptation to spend! Do you think these upgrades will actually make shopping easier, or is it just hype? #Business #LocalBusiness #Walmart

Arizona pays you to become an entrepreneur

Arizona's literally paying people $100k to start businesses through a free 9-month program. Think about it - these could become your go-to coffee spot, the cleaning service you've been needing, or that tech repair place that doesn't overcharge. The program already helped 75 entrepreneurs bring in $5 million total. More local options usually means better prices and service for us. They're focusing on underrepresented entrepreneurs too. Could this actually change what our neighborhood businesses look like in a few years? #Business #LocalBusiness #SmallBusiness

Nordstrom Closures: Should Ohio Shoppers Worry?

Nordstrom is shutting down two stores—one in St. Louis and one in Santa Monica—by next August, but if you’re in Ohio, you’re safe for now. None of the nine Ohio Nordstrom or Nordstrom Rack spots are on the chopping block. The company just went private, so expect more changes as they tighten up. Pro tip: The annual Nordstrom sale is still on, so snag those deals while you can! #Business #LocalBusiness #Nordstrom

Kids are starting businesses—should we too?

Did you hear about a local school where kids are learning to run their own businesses? Some students have already made over $30,000! They're not just selling lemonade—they're learning how to invest and manage money, too. Imagine if we’d learned this stuff in school! Do you think teaching kids about money and business early on could help them avoid the money mistakes many of us made? Would you want your kids to have these skills? #Business #LocalBusiness #FinancialLiteracy

Austin’s Getting a Giant New Furniture Playground

Looks like your next coffee table might just be around the corner! #Business #LocalBusiness #AustinLiving

Why Your Next Target Run Costs More

Ever noticed your shopping bill creeping up lately? It’s not just you—big retailers like Walmart, Target, and Amazon are quietly raising prices thanks to new tariffs on imported goods. That means everything from sneakers to snacks is a bit pricier. The real kicker? Fewer wild markdowns and more subtle price bumps, so your favorite deals might not be as sweet. Pro tip: Watch for bundled promos and loyalty perks to stretch your dollar! #Business #LocalBusiness #RetailTrends

Remembering the Frost Bros. Liquidation Frenzy

Ever wonder what happens when a luxury store goes out of business? Back in '89, San Antonio’s Frost Bros.—the Neiman Marcus of its day—closed for good after a bankruptcy judge pulled the plug. Shoppers lined up for hours to snag designer deals, and even the mannequins went on sale! The lesson? When a fancy store bites the dust, you can score high-end goods for thrift store prices—if you’re willing to brave the crowds. #Business #LocalBusiness #RetailHistory

Is Costco Still a Bulk Buy for Your Wallet?

Costco’s stock has been on a wild ride—up 8% this year, but it dipped 6% last month. The real story? Even with membership price hikes, 90% of folks are still renewing, and Costco’s online shopping is growing fast. They’re dodging tariffs by rerouting shipments and leaning into AI to keep prices low. But if inflation spikes, some families might have to rethink those giant packs of toilet paper. The takeaway: Costco’s still a solid bet for shoppers and investors, but keep an eye on those price tags! #Business #LocalBusiness #Costco

How to Sneak Into Costco’s Food Court

Ever crave that $1.50 Costco hot dog but don’t want to pay for a membership? Here’s the scoop: Costco recently made its food court members-only to keep things exclusive and cut down on parking chaos. But there’s a hack—get a friend to buy you a Costco Shop Card (their gift card), and you can waltz in, grab a slice, and pay in cash. Just don’t overdo it, or they might close the loophole! #Business #LocalBusiness #CostcoHacks
