99 Cents Only Stores : The discount retail chain becomes the latest to announce store closures in the US
independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/99-cents-only-stores-b2523983.html
99 Cents Only Stores
Quick Glance: 99 Cents Only to Close All 371 Stores and Cease Longstanding Business
  • After more than four decades, 99 Cents Only will close all 371 of its stores and cease its business operations.

  • The decision was made due to various challenges, including the COVID-19 pandemic, shifting consumer demand, inflationary pressures, and increasing levels of shrinkage.

  • The closure of 99 Cents Only reflects a broader weakness in the dollar-store category, with other major retailers also announcing store closures.

  • Established in 1982 in Los Angeles, 99 Cents Only was a trailblazer in single-price retail and faced pressure from rising wages and competition from larger chains.

Cinnamon sold at discount stores recalled due to lead content
Quick Glance: Recall of Contaminated Cinnamon
  • Following federal health officials' warnings, several U.S. discount retailers have recalled packages of ground cinnamon due to high lead contamination.

  • The recalls were initiated in response to extensive recalls last autumn of WanaBana and other brands of cinnamon applesauce pouches associated with almost 500 reports of lead poisoning in young children across 44 states.

  • Concerns about the safety of cinnamon, a common spice in American kitchens, have been prompted by the recent recalls.

  • While there is currently no FDA limit for heavy metals in spices, the American Spice Trade Association advocates for a lead limit of no more than 2 parts per million in bark spices like cinnamon.

Quick Glance: Record Fine: Family Dollar Stores Hit with $41M Penalty
  • This week, Family Dollar Stores was ordered to pay $41.6 million for using a rodent-infested warehouse to distribute goods to over 400 stores in the South.

  • A U.S. Food and Drug Administration investigation found 'live rodents, dead and decaying rodents, rodent feces, urine, and odors' at the company's distribution center in Arkansas.

  • As part of the plea agreement, both Family Dollar Stores and Dollar Tree must adhere to 'robust' corporate reporting guidelines for the next three years.

  • U.S. Attorney Jonathan D. Ross stated: 'It is incomprehensible that Family Dollar knew about the rodent and pest issues at its distribution center in Arkansas but continued to ship products that were unsafe and insanitary.'

Quick Glance: Black Friday Disappoints UK Shoppers
  • Sales in cash terms are expected to be on a par with 2022, but prices are higher due to inflation, meaning fewer items will be sold.

  • Online activity was flat and footfall at shopping destinations was down by more than 5%.

  • Black Friday is no longer a single-day event, but now starts in November and runs for several weeks.

  • Some retailers saw a slight uplift, but sales are only expected to increase by 0.4% over last year, according to analysis by GlobalData for Vouchercodes.co.uk.
