Americans Are Shopping As Much As They Were Pre-Pandemic
The Census Bureau released estimates of July's retail sales on Friday morning and they showed a continued, though much slower, rise in sales. Retail sales rose 1.2 percent from June, on a seasonally-adjusted basis, and 2.7 percent from last July.
That said, the nature of consumer spending on goods is still far from normal. Americans spent 19 percent less at restaurants and bars this July than they did last July. Spending at clothing and accessories stores was down 21 percent, and spending at gas stations was down 16 percent, due to a combination of lower gas prices and still-reduced driving.

Drive-through in Capital Shopping Center parking lot is closer to reality
A drive-thru Starbucks is closer to appearing in the parking lot of the Capital Shopping Center, part of a proposed development that acts as a sort of stand-in for the denser, taller development that the city would like to see there.
Concord has approved a zoning variance to allow the drive-thru near the intersection of Storrs Street and the Pleasant Street Extension, where such facilities aren't allowed. Brixmor Capitol, owner of the half-century-old Capital Shopping Center, has previously presented proposals to build a casual restaurant, a Starbucks with a drive-thru and 6,000 square feet of retail space in the parking area, facing onto Storrs Street and separate from the current plaza.
