This purchase allows 7-11 to take in the remaining part of Stripes/Laredo Taco that they do not already own, per multiple sites.

CVS saw that running a pharmacy without a front end was subject to losses. We all saw this coming for some time. I disagree with that sentiment for two reasons: Pharmacies in CVS and Walgreens are the profit centers of their main stores - why do you think front store pricing there is so high? To ma...

JCPenney is trying to drum up business by offer free headshots. I can't believe the portrait studios are still open. Do they even do any business these days? Are there still portrait studios run by other companies anywhere else? Didn't Sears have these at one time? https://chainstoreage.com/jcpenne...

They are not talking about anything other than the FTC extending the deadline beyond January 17. This is complete silliness. The FTC and multiple states are going to sue to block it.

Where I live in South Louisiana, Gas Station food is considered a delicacy; some are better than the average restaurant. Most convenience stores worth their salt have a deli somewhere that serves hot food of all kinds, ranging from chicken strips, corn dogs, meat pies and other small fried items, to...

There is a massive Hobby Lobby store in Baton Rouge on College Drive that was a former Kmart. Kmart, when open, took the entire building, including the Kmart Foods that had long since closed. Office Max opened in a 15,000 sq. ft. area (which is now Dollar Tree), but HL has the rest - over 100,000 sq...
