• Why investors paid $5.26M for this downtown Westfield property (mycentraljersey.com) — A key mixed-use building at 251 North Ave. W. in downtown Westfield has sold for $5.26 million, underscoring investor confidence in the area. With tenants like Columbia Bank and proximity to the train station and One Westfield Place, the property highlights how desirable and competitive Westfield's core business district has become for long-term investment.
• Raley's supermarket chain closes stores, lays off employees (kansascity.com) — Major grocery chains are closing underperforming stores nationwide, and Stop & Shop has confirmed it will shut locations in Basking Ridge and Westfield, N.J., in 2026. The move is part of broader downsizing driven by changing shopping habits, online competition, and rising costs that are pressuring traditional supermarkets across the country.
