Retail shakeup: Big closures hit New Mexico

Major changes are coming to New Mexico’s shopping scene this year as six well-known retail chains—Conn’s HomePlus, Big Lots, Walgreens, Family Dollar, Advance Auto Parts, and Denny’s—are closing multiple locations across the state. This wave of closures means fewer options for everything from furniture and groceries to late-night diner stops, especially in Albuquerque, Santa Fe, and Las Cruces. For many neighborhoods, these stores were more than just places to shop—they were community staples. How do you think these closures will impact your daily routine or local economy? Let’s talk about what this means for our towns and what could fill these empty storefronts. #Business #LocalBusiness #NewMexico

New Mexico invests in homegrown talent

Nearly $2 million just went straight into the hands of seven New Mexico companies to help train and promote local workers. This isn’t just about job skills—it’s about boosting paychecks, keeping talent in the state, and giving recent grads and veterans a real shot at high-tech careers. The Job Training Incentive Program is making it possible for folks to move up, whether they’re building space tech or working in advanced energy. With average wages rising from $20 to $28 an hour since 2018, it’s clear this approach is changing lives. What do you think—should more states follow New Mexico’s lead? #Business #NewMexico #WorkforceDevelopment

Bosque Brewing closes all NM taprooms

Bosque Brewing is shutting the doors on all its New Mexico taprooms, marking the end of an era for local craft beer lovers. The closures come after a federal judge dismissed the company’s bankruptcy case, leaving staff and regulars stunned. From Albuquerque to Las Cruces and Bernalillo, Bosque’s spaces were more than just bars—they were community hubs. While Restoration Pizza and Smothered Brunch will stay open, and Bosque beer will still be brewed by Marble, it’s hard not to feel the loss. What’s your favorite Bosque memory, and what does this mean for the local beer scene? #Food #BosqueBrewing #NewMexico
