Built from your backs up

A handful of the grocery stores in my area are closing down; from the looks of it, I’ll only have one small produce store within walking distance any more. These aren’t Mom & Pop shops either, we’re talking large chain stores just shutting down whole sections of Chicago stores. I guess the overriding reason was simple: they weren’t turning enough profit. It makes sense to shutter what’s not profitable, I suppose, but how much profit do you suppose is needed? What does a shareholder need to be satisfied?

My review of Swat Squad’s new single with Alecs Marta, “Speak In Silver,” is up here. Other recommended reading: Phil Sherburne did a fantastic feature for eMusic with Bernard Fevre, or whoever did the music for Black Devil Disco Club. Make sure to check that out.
