Midwest Pizza Chain Opening New In-Store Locations at Walmart
A popular pizza brand will make its way into select Walmart stores by the end of 2024, offering shoppers a new spot to enjoy pizza, wings, salads, and sandwiches. As a kid, I can vividly remember shopping at Walmart in Vincennes, Indiana, with my parents. In the early 2000s, there was a McDonald's location in the back of the store, which meant I was treated to a Happy Meal at the end of our shopping excursion. It's been several years since that area of the store was replaced with a Walmart Deli, which I even worked at briefly during my first semester or two of college. However, a remnant of the McDonald's era still remains, as the company's logo is enshrined on one of the electrical panel boxes in the back of the store.

Tri-State Donut Shop Celebrating 57th Anniversary with Sweet Deal
Donut Bank is preparing to celebrate 57 years in business with a sweet deal available only on Thursday, July 18th. There are a lot of wonderful places to grab a donut and a coffee in the tri-state. When I was living in Washington, Indiana, my favorite stop was a local bakery called The Bakery House. I still try to stop by there when I'm in the area, as they have some of my favorite desserts, breakfast sandwiches, and, of course, donuts. Having recently moved to Gibson County, I've found an assortment of local staples in Princeton that I've also come to enjoy, such as Donut Bank. While the Princeton location has only been around since 2008, the business itself has deep community roots.
