If this week’s headlines are an indication, the American consumer economy is drawn in every direction at the same time. Grocery accounts are becoming heavier, while retail giants and airlines rewrite some of their most famous Playbooks. At the same time, the housing market cools in dozens of large metro lines, Chipotle feels the angel of the food belt and the late-night TV world is suddenly united in a words war on CBS ‘surprise channels of the late show with Stephen Colbert.
In supermarket, one of the own retailers in the country is in a tear: Trader Joe’s announced 30 new store openings in 17 states and DC, which pushes the grocer closer to the 600-location brand. In the meantime, if you were planning to load the hamburger balances for the summer, get hold of yourself. The prices of beef are included up to the highest level, and there is no quick solution in sight if the American cattle herd reaches its lowest level since 1951.
Elsewhere, large companies make movements: Target scales its popular price match policy back, Southwest Airlines ditches open seats in favor of assigned entry groups, and show the latest income from Chipotle that even quickly is not very immune to change consumer expenditure.
This is what you need to know this week in business:
