The Grocery Giant Staking Its Claim On America’s Beef Supply Chain

Carlos Duarte/Getty Images Walmart is no stranger to asserting its dominance in the retail industry. Ever since the first Walmart opened its doors in 1962, the chain has followed a highly effective model that utilizes strategies like competitive pricing, strategic store placement, and improving efficiency by streamlining supply chains. These strategies have not only helped the chain grow to a global retail superpower, but they are also evidenced in Walmart’s latest move: opening a beef-processing plant in Olathe, Kansas in late June of 2025. Walmart is already known for stocking its meat department with high-quality beef, … Read more

The Vintage Supermarket Saved From Extinction By A Classic Grocery Chain

General

The Lesser-Known Steakhouse Chain That’s Overtaking Texas Roadhouse

General

Mario Marquardt Jr/Getty Images Casual dining has always been a popular restaurant category, offering decent quality meals at more affordable prices. Steakhouses in this space have been doing particularly well, seemingly because they offer a pocket-friendly version of a meal that is otherwise much more expensive — however, the assumption that they’re going to have a fine-dining experience is something that often disappoints first-timers at chains like Texas Roadhouse. The popular chain maintains a colorful, homely vibe while serving a variety of steaks (here are Texas Roadhouse’s best and worst), ribs, other … Read more
