Saw that Costco is testing out a version of Scan & Go. I tend to go to Sam's more often for that reason alone. If Costco rolls it out nationwide I'd probably shop there more than I do now.

We didn't lose anyone in April. Still at 40 members.

JoAnn files for bankruptcy for the second time in less than a year https://www.cnn.com/2025/01/15/business/joann-bankruptcy/index.html

https://www.axios.com/2025/01/09/kohls-closing-stores-list-april-2025 Kohl's closing 27 stores by April. I'm guessing there will be more than that before the year is done.

Our annual thread to discuss store closures, bankruptcies and other not-so-fun stuff.
