Big retail shakeup hits California malls

California’s shopping scene is about to look very different. Major names like Macy’s, Rite Aid, Walgreens, Saks OFF 5TH, and Carter’s are all shutting down multiple locations across the state this February. Macy’s is closing its historic Grossmont Center store, while Rite Aid is reportedly leaving California entirely. Walgreens is pulling out of more Bay Area neighborhoods, deepening pharmacy shortages. Saks OFF 5TH and Carter’s are also trimming their store counts, especially in malls. These closures could mean longer drives for basics and fewer local jobs. How do you think this wave of closures will affect your community? #Business #LocalBusiness #California

With AI reshaping manufacturing and companies like Nvidia and Siemens doubling down on local expertise, it’s a real crossroads for California’s future. Would you stick around, or look for greener (and cheaper) pastures? #Business #EntrepreneurshipStartup #California

How a $15K down payment vanished at a California dealership

Imagine putting $15,000 down on a new Prius, trading in your old car, and still owing the full sticker price on your loan. That’s what happened to a California buyer who later realized the dealership quietly hiked the price by $7,000 and tacked on thousands more in fees—turning a $29K car into a $45K deal. The kicker? The buyer only discovered the mess after checking their credit report months later. This story is a wake-up call: dealership paperwork can be a maze, and focusing only on monthly payments can cost you big. Has anyone else had a dealership experience like this? #Cars #CarBuying #California
