It’s Tuesday and here are the top stories we are talking about today:

Shoppers unhappy with grocers’ performance

Only 36% of shoppers feel that stores are doing a good job handling the pandemic, this is down from 50% in February of this year. This has to be in large part due to the labor shortage that everyone is feeling, stores just don’t have enough employees to do what they need or want to do.

Amazon Ending Free Delivery from Whole Foods

Soon, Amazon Prime Members will have to pay a delivery fee to receive their order from Whole Foods. Once again, the last mile of delivery rears its ugly head. Everyone is struggling with it, even Amazon.

Dollar General Continues their expansion

You can now find Dollar General in 47 states, and with over 17,000 stores nationwide nothing seems to be slowing down their growth and expansion.

Black Friday expected to be retails biggest day of the season

We have already heard all the predictions, holiday spending is expected to be huge this year. But, now the theory is Black Friday is going to be the pinnacle. Some stores have already committed to staying closed that day, while others are entertaining the early morning opening and resulting rush. We think the chances are high that most of this spend is going to happen online and not physically in a store setting – get ready for a midnight rush of online sales!
