Nicole Washington+FollowSears Is Down to Its Last SoCal Store!Remember when Sears was the go-to spot for everything from jeans to washing machines? Well, the Burbank Sears is closing, leaving just one left in California. It’s a sign of the times—big stores are struggling as more of us shop online or hit up smaller, trendier spots.

Retail therapy is changing, so keep an eye out for what pops up in those empty mall spaces next. #Business #LocalBusiness #RetailNews00Share

Brad Caldwell+FollowLexington Center’s $6.8M sale shakes up Sunset BlvdLexington Center just changed hands for a whopping $6.8 million, and it’s fully leased with big names like Chipotle, Krispy Kreme, and Verizon. Sitting right next to the area’s busiest Home Depot, this spot sees nearly 37,000 cars pass by every day—no wonder it sold so fast! For folks in Lexington, this means the retail hub you know isn’t going anywhere, but it could get even better with new owners at the helm.

Robert Daniels+FollowWalmart’s Sneaky Self-Checkout CrackdownWalmart’s not-so-secret weapon against shoplifters? Remotely shutting down self-checkout kiosks and sending over staff to “help” (aka, check if you’re scanning everything). Some stores are ditching self-checkout altogether after seeing thefts drop big time. Even Dollar General and Target are quietly following suit. Is this the end of speedy solo checkouts, or just the start of more awkward ‘glitches’ at the register? #Food #Walmart #RetailNews214339Share
Justin Martin+FollowWalmart’s Sticker Patrol at Self-CheckoutEver tried to skip the plastic bags at Walmart and just carry your stuff out? You might get chased down by an employee! Walmart’s rolling out a new rule: if you don’t bag your items, staff will slap a sticker on them to prove you paid. Shoppers are buzzing about getting stopped for something as small as a soda. It’s all part of Walmart’s crackdown on self-checkout theft, but people are seriously confused (and a little annoyed) about the sticker drama. #Shopping #Walmart #RetailNews7265Share
