Retail Watchers

As with the Fort Lauderdale location, today the Palm Beach Gardens Sears has abruptly closed.

QuikTrip is building its first location in Las Vegas. https://www.cstoredive.com/news/quiktrip-las-vegas-first-store/705937/ The only large rival there is Terrible's. Maverik and Circle K have stores there, plus a bunch of independently owned 7-11s and AMPMs What a funny name for a competitor. Also...

Going to be tricky for Target, if they ever choose to set up operations there.

Not all of them are? Wonder if that varies between neighborhood and tourist areas

I wonder what happened.

Kmart Guam's Facebook is back, although with a rather hilarious post about a huge mess made in the store.

Yes, it is gone. Just the NY one remains.

Looks like I must have confused it for Avenel, which shut down in 2022.

Looks like the removal of physical media displays has begun, per multiple sources. Many have took to social media to forecast a grim outlook for Best Buy in the wake of this decision.

I feel we'll get another major merger somewhere.

Hope you'll be able to get a glimpse at Australian retail, and compare it while still covering American retail as well. Good luck!

McDonald's is a strong example as most of their celebrity meals can be accessed only through the mobile app.
