carlsongary+Follow7-Eleven finally coming to West BrightonAfter years of sitting empty, the corner of Forest and Sharon Avenues in West Brighton is set for a big change—a 7-Eleven is officially on the way, aiming to open in 2027.

This move keeps Aldi ahead in the supermarket pay race and could mean happier, more motivated staff next time you’re in for your weekly shop. #Business #LocalBusiness #Aldi #PayRaise #MoneyHacks #SupermarketLife #UKJobs10Share
john72+FollowWhy Christmas Shopping Was a SnoozeEver notice how the shops felt quieter this Christmas? Turns out, lots of people skipped buying gifts and waited for those juicy Boxing Day and January sales instead. Retailers were left with shelves full of unsold stuff, and the only thing that really moved was food (thanks, inflation). If you’re feeling the pinch, you’re not alone—everyone’s watching their wallets and holding out for better deals. Maybe next year, skip the holiday rush and score your gifts on sale! #Business #LocalBusiness #RetailTrends00Share

Nicole Washington+FollowDetroit’s Big Store: A city icon lostHudson’s Big Store wasn’t just a place to shop—it was a symbol of Detroit’s spirit and ambition. Imagine a department store so massive it spanned 32 floors and drew 100,000 visitors a day! For decades, Hudson’s was the heartbeat of downtown, especially during the holidays. But as Detroit changed, so did shopping habits, and the once-bustling landmark closed its doors in 1983. Its demolition in 1998 left a void—and a parking garage—in the city’s landscape. What memories do you have of Hudson’s, and how do you feel about what’s replaced it? #Business #LocalBusiness #DetroitHistory10Share
