Iconic Store Closings + Costco Recall + Coffee Chain's New Site: MD Business

A longstanding staple among department stores will close a MD location, a mall is demolished, while a coffee chain expands in this county.

The state's business economy continues to stop and start with the opening of the first drive-thru coffee chain shop in Anne Arundel County, while a New England-based eatery focused on customers with dietary issues has opened in Harford County.

Unfortunately, an iconic department store chain will be closing more stores, including another in Maryland. And fans of this convenience store will be sad to learn that it might be closing some of its locations across the state, too. Plus, Costco recalls an item sold in Maryland stores.
