High-end restaurant heads to Cabin John, Amazon rethinks returns, Macy’s brings the bargains

The Grove

Fancy food for Cabin John

Finally we have some details to share about The Grove, the new restaurant that’s moving into the old Lahinch space at Cabin John Village. Pivoting from the original plan for a beer garden at this location, The Grove will offer a high-end Mediterranean menu blending flavors from Spain, Italy and Greece. At its helm: noted chef Jose Lopez-Picazo, who trained in Madrid and went on to lead several highly acclaimed restaurants in Las Vegas. At The Grove, he’ll be offering new takes on dishes like lamb shank, grilled octopus, tuna tartar, duck breast and Iberico chorizo. Doors are expected to open in July.

Amazon rethinks returns & delivery

Have you noticed any changes lately with your Amazon Prime shopping routine? If you live near a Whole Foods, a Kohl’s or an Amazon Fresh grocery store, you might be incurring a one-dollar charge every time you drop off returns at a UPS Store. Conversely, Amazon might be offering you $10 discounts for skipping delivery and picking up a package yourself. The e-tailer has been testing various strategies to reduce delivery costs, and to see how far customers will go to save a buck or ten. And where Amazon leads, other retailers will surely follow.

Macy's brings more bargains

Looks like this summer will be a great time to snag some big discounts at Macy’s. With sales falling below expectations for yet another quarter, the department store chain says it will try to boost cash flow by offering aggressive markdowns. Macy’s had previously been holding the line on discounts these past few months, in hopes that shoppers would continue to open their wallets. But business this year has proved disappointing for a lot of mid-priced retailers. Shoe store chain Journeys is preparing to close more than 100 stores, while Nordstrom, Gap and The Container Store have all been laying off staff.
