(Mike Mozart)Americans’ shopping habits have changed somewhat over the last few decades, but that’s not necessarily because of e-commerce. Two economists at the University of Chicago argue that the rise of warehouse clubs is what has really changed Americans’ shopping habits and the retailscape. Maybe this will change after consumers have had a few more years of buying everything they possibly can from Amazon Prime, but here’s something to consider: online shopping represented only about 4% of consumer spending in 2012, while about 8% of all spending was in warehouse clubs. While nationwide data only goes up to 2013, Americans spent $348 billion on e-commerce and catalog purchases in 2013, and $420 billion at warehouse clubs during the same year.

    Denver Post, Wednesday - 06/12/2024 - 08:00 AM

    Once it is scooped, ice cream doesn’t last long, melting away if you don’t eat it quickly enough. So too, do ice cream shops and trends, which can be built up into magnificent displays only to melt in the heat, dripping down your wrist into a puddle on the ground. These days, it’s rich and small-batch ice creams with a dizzying array of flavors and toppings that attract the most attention — something you can read about in our list of 8 ice cream shops worth screaming about this summer — and although Denver has lost a few cold-treat purveyors, like Ice Cream Riot, many more have newly opened or added locations or offerings.
