## Resource

Connecticuts business scene is in flux as Walmarts expansion forces a long-standing small business to close, and a major company announces mass layoffs. However, a new grocery chain is set to open in a vacant Stop and Shop site, and a popular eatery is moving to a larger location. While these changes bring mixed feelings, an award-winning restaurant and a speakeasy bar with live entertainment are on the horizon, redefining Connecticuts shopping and dining landscape.
