Rising costs have impacted nearly every industry, including the retail sector. Shoppers looking for some spending reprieve might find what they're looking for at shopping outlets. Stephen Yalof, Tanger Outlets CEO, joined Cheddar News to talk about consumer spending trends. "What's interesting about our space is that we're seeing more customers now come into the outlet space because its an opportunity for them to buy brands at everyday value pricing and I think that's a big trend for the consumer right now," he said.

Small grocers and convenience stores feel an impact as customers go without SNAP benefits
Some small grocery stores and neighborhood convenience stores are eager for the U.S. government shutdown to end and for their customers to start receiving federal food aid again.
