Is anyone out there? Hello … hello … hello …
Let me welcome all you newbies who might be coming across Business Casual for the first time this morning. Let me also welcome you to Coffee Break, your morning dose of links from around the globe that might be of interest to Biz Caz readers. We’ll be posting most weekdays by 10:15 or so. Let this be your place to visit when you need a little respite from work.
We’d like this to be interactive as well. If you see some stories you like, send me the links at dloving@wichitaeagle.com.
And away we go:
- Everything it takes to produce and deliver food is going up, but Wal-Mart is using the muscle that comes with being the world’s largest retailer to pressure vendors to keep those costs out of the food chain, according to this Fortune article.
- If you’re heading off to southern California, you’ll have to check out the new Ferris wheel on the Santa Monica Pier. It’s made by Wichita’s Chance Morgan.
- For those of you interested in casino news these days,
it looks like the Donald is going to have his name on one fewer casino in Atlantic City. The Trump Marina is being sold for $316 million. That will leave Phil Ruffin’s buddy with two in AC.
That’s today’s brief rundown. Be sure to tell us what you think in the comments section.
