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 #Walmart6454Share

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 #BusinessNews156Share
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
