Michigan faces wave of store and restaurant closures

Big changes are coming to Michigan’s shopping and dining scene—many familiar stores and restaurants are set to close their doors by the end of 2026. Macy’s, Walgreens, Foot Locker, Red Robin, Carter’s, Kroger, Yankee Candle, and even Wendy’s are among the big names scaling back or shutting down locations. It’s not just about bankruptcy—shifting shopping habits, more online sales, and rising costs are all playing a part. For many, this means fewer options for quick errands or family meals out. How do you feel about these closures? Will it change how you shop or eat out? #Business #LocalBusiness #Michigan

Portal Targets: Daley vs Berry vs Dotson

The transfer portal is heating up, and the big debate is how Utah’s John Henry Daley stacks up against Michigan’s Zeke Berry and BYU’s Elijah Dotson.

Michigan sturgeon make a comeback

Seeing a tagged sturgeon return to spawn in Michigan’s Upper Black River is a huge win for local wildlife.
