Albertson's + Rite Aid merger called off, leaving analysts wondering if Rite Aid has much of a future.
“The termination of the merger with Albertsons leaves Rite-Aid at a big disadvantage as it neither has the scale nor the balance sheet to compete with much larger and well-capitalized rivals like CVS and Walgreens,” Moodys Vice President Mickey Chadha wrote. “Although the termination is also a big blow to Albertsons’ long-desired goal to go public, it is in a better competitive position in the supermarket space than Rite-Aid is in the retail pharmacy sector."

Crocs Inc. said in a press release on Tuesday that it has already closed its manufacturing facility in Mexico, and plans to shutter what it says is its “last manufacturing facility” in Italy.

The company says the move is their way to “simplify the business and improve profitability,” but did not give details on where their products will be made in the future.

Crocs also announced the resignation of Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Carrie Teffner. She will be replaced by Anne Mehlman, the current CFO for Amazon-owned shoe retailer Zappos.

Will get a less sympathetic reaction than the death of Ian Brady

 

At least Ian Brady never made shitty adverts.

Possibility of a sex scandal perhaps?

 

The puppets on the advert for Wonga are asked to point to a human and say where the CEO touched them.....:D

Are Elon Musk and Maria Sharapova related? Or the same person. A bit like the Latoya and Michael Jackson rumours.

A reminder for our American members:  'fanny' does not mean 'arse'.  ('Arse' being what you call 'ass'.)
