Timothy Weaver+FollowWhy 7-Eleven Said 'No Thanks' to a $47B DealGrab your coffee—here’s the latest: The company behind Circle K just walked away from a $47 billion deal to buy 7-Eleven’s parent, after months of being ghosted by the Japanese side.

Jasmine Rush+FollowTarget’s Price Match Drama: What’s Next?Heads up, deal hunters: Target is pulling the plug on price matching with Amazon, Walmart, and other stores starting July 28. That means no more showing your phone at checkout for a better deal. Shoppers are fired up, saying this move will make it harder to trust Target’s prices—especially since the app and in-store prices don’t always match. Pro tip: Always check the Target app before you buy in-store, or you might pay more than you need to! #Business #LocalBusiness #TargetTips00Share

Kim Brown+FollowWalmart’s Cutting Back—What’s It Mean for Shoppers?Walmart’s trimming hundreds of behind-the-scenes jobs to make things run smoother for their in-store teams. Translation: fewer middle managers, more direct action. If you’ve ever wondered why checkout lines move faster or why there’s a new face at the service desk, this could be why. For shoppers, it might mean a leaner, more efficient Walmart experience—just don’t expect to see your favorite store coach hanging around as much. #Business #LocalBusiness #WalmartNews24Share
Jordan Williams+FollowCostco Letdowns: What’s Not Worth the Cart?Heads up, Costco fans! Not everything in that giant cart is a steal these days.

Even viral treats like Nightingale ice cream sandwiches are getting the side-eye. The takeaway? Always check reviews and compare prices, even at your favorite warehouse club. Sometimes, the best deal is skipping the hype! #Business #LocalBusiness #CostcoFinds40Share
