If you're a fan of Wayfair and also happen to live in or near Illinois, great news for you. This retailer will finally have a brick and mortar location and it will be exclusively in the Land of Lincoln.
There's a lot of wheeling and dealing in the retail world already in 2024 and that now includes shoes. Shoe Carnival reportedly just purchased a chain of 28 stores which includes many in Wisconsin and Illinois.
I don't want this to be awkward because I realize that discussing what people earn at their jobs is personal business. However, Walmart just shared some details publicly about the earnings of their store managers in Missouri and it looks like life just got a lot better for them.
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to understand that time changes things. New technology can cause lifestyle habits to morph and that's been especially true of retail establishments. Missouri is among the states that have seen an almost catastrophic drop in the number of brick and mortar retail stores.

A rash of thefts in numerous stores has led Target to announce it will be closing 9 different stores in 4 different states. The good news is that it does not appear that Illinois locations are affected - yet.
I've heard it said that the only constant is change. That is true for just about everyone and everything including stores like Walmart who have several major changes coming to Missouri and Illinois stores in the future.
