Wahlburgers closes 79 locations nationwide in 2025 shake-up
Wahlburgers has closed nearly 80 locations this year, dipping to 34 restaurants nationwide. The burger chain founded by actor Mark Wahlberg and his brothers, Donnie and Paul, simultaneously closed 79 locations earlier this year that were in Hy-Vee grocery stores, Eat This, Not That reported earlier this month, ending an agreement that started in 2017. Wahlburgers CEO Randy Sharpe told Nation's Restaurant News that the closures affected food court kiosks at the Iowa-based chain. "It's not a full-service restaurant, and it wasn't a significant revenue driver for either side,' Sharpe told the publication. Here's what to know. Where are Hy-Vee stores located? Hy-Vee operates 302 stores in Iowa and seven states near it, according to the web scraping tool ScrapeHero. Iowa has the most in the U.S. with 151 locations. Other locations include the rest of the Midwest and the Southern region of the country, too. Mark Wahlberg owns Chevrolet, Buick and GMC auto dealerships Wahlburgers isn't Mark Wahlberg's only business interest. The former rapper known in the 1990s for Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch also owns several auto dealerships in the Buckeye State. Mark Wahlberg has Chevrolet dealerships in various parts of Ohio, including Columbus, Worthington and Avon, as well as a Buick GMC dealership in Columbus. The dealership websites prominently feature a photo of the Hollywood actor. But wait, there's more Wahlberg launched a Mexican-inspired restaurant, Flecha Cantina, in bustling Las Vegas late last year. He's also a co-owner and brand ambassador for Flecha Azul Tequila, which he partnered with in 2022.

Trucker who ‘never' buys scratch-offs tries luck on ticket. It leaves him frozen
Hunger got the best of a 26-year-old Iowa man, who stopped at a grocery store to purchase food. And with that purchase, he went out of his comfort zone when he bought an Iowa Lottery scratch-off ticket. 'To be honest, I never buy scratch-off tickets,' Marco Gonzalez-Saurez told lottery officials in a June 30 news release. 'Something just said, 'Hey, why don't I just buy one.'' He picked the 'Feeling Lucky?' scratch-off ticket from a Hy-Vee in Windsor Heights, then went home to see if he won. What he saw — a $150,000 windfall — left him in disbelief 'I just kind of froze, like, 'No way!'' Gonzalez-Suarez told lottery officials. 'Honestly, I didn't believe it. It didn't seem real.' It wasn't until he scanned the ticket on the lottery app that his win began to feel real, he said. Now, the truck driver from West Des Moines hopes to use the money toward 'a fun purchase or two' and invest the rest. The 'Feeling Lucky?' game costs $10 to play. Odds of winning the $150,000 jackpot prize are 1 in 144,850. Windsor Heights is a western suburb of Des Moines.

A recall of numerous Hy-Vee sushi products has been issued a Class 1 risk classification by the FDA. Frank Duenzl/picture-alliance/dpa/AP Why It Matters A Class I risk classification represents "a situation in which there is a reasonable probability that the use of or exposure to a violative product will cause serious adverse health consequences or death," according to the FDA. Listeria contamination may lead to a range of symptoms in infected individuals. For those experiencing less severe infections, symptoms include fever, muscle aches, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea, which often last between one and three days, the FDA said. For more severe and potentially life-threatening infections, symptoms may include headaches, stiff neck, confusion, loss of balance and convulsions. Severe infections are particularly dangerous for newborns, adults over age 65 and those with weakened immune systems. What To Know The affected products were sent to Hy-Vee retail locations throughout the Midwest, according to the FDA. The affected products include: Crispy Shrimp Roll 10Pc - 122.5 cases - code: 02-86792-00000 Crunchy Shrimp Roll - 122.5 cases - code: 02-86793-00000 Red Dragon Roll - 122.5 cases - code: 02-86811-00000 Rock N Roll Shrimp 10Ct - 122.5 cases - code: 02-86813-00000 Duo Spicy Calif Shrimp 10Pc - 122.5 cases - code: 02-86832-00000 Duo Spicy Veg Shrimp 10Pc - 122.5 cases - code: 02-86835-00000 Duo Crunchy Calif Shrimp 10Pc - 122.5 cases - code: 02-86840-00000 Duo Crispy Calif Shrimp 10Pc - 122.5 cases - code: 02-86841-00000 Duo Crunchy Veg Shrimp 10Pc - 122.5 cases - code: 02-86846-00000 Duo Crispy Veg Shrimp 10Pc - 122.5 cases - code: 02-86847-00000 Spicy Shrimp Poke Bowl - 122.5 cases - code: 02-86882-00000 What People Are Saying Haley F. Oliver, a professor of food science at Purdue University, previously told Newsweek: "Listeria monocytogenes is a common microorganism that can be found in the natural environment, for example in soil. There are many factors that determine if someone gets listeriosis—a listeria infection. In most instances, an immunocompromised person, so young, old, pregnant or otherwise immunocompromised, must eat contaminated food. The number of bacteria resulting in infection and the amount of time before illness varies considerably. Symptoms vary among people but can include fever, flu-like symptoms, headache, stiff neck, confusion and loss of balance." Mary O'Riordan, a professor of microbiology and immunology at the University of Michigan Medical School, previously told Newsweek: "Listeria has an unusual capacity to grow at refrigerated temperatures. Although the bacterium can contaminate many types of food, cheeses or deli meats that are kept in cold storage for long periods in stores or at home, are a place where Listeria can keep growing. "Early symptoms of listeria infection look similar to other common foodborne infections, including fever, diarrhea and vomiting, so it's often not diagnosed right away. Unfortunately, sometimes listeria can spread into the brain and cause more serious illness, like meningitis. In those cases, if people experience headache, stiff neck or confusion, they should seek urgent medical attention." Cleveland Clinic, on its website: "Listeria is a bacterial infection that's more dangerous during pregnancy. It can cause pregnancy loss, lifelong illness in your child and newborn death. It causes flu-like and digestive symptoms. Avoiding foods like deli meats, soft cheeses and unpasteurized milk can reduce your risk." What Happens Next The recall is listed as ongoing, according to the FDA.
