Twin Falls offers free crisis support sessions for community after deadly In-N-Out shooting.

Twin Falls offers free crisis support sessions for community after deadly In-N-Out shooting. National crisis responders from NOVA are offering free, no-registration drop-in sessions to help the Twin Falls community heal after the deadly mass shooting at In-N-Out. Free drop-in crisis support sessions are available for anyone impacted by the Twin Falls In-N-Out shooting. Sessions run through Nov. 7. Posted 3:30 PM, Oct 12, 2026 TWIN FALLS, Idaho - The Twin Falls community now has access to free, drop-in crisis support sessions following the deadly mass shooting at the local In-N-Out restaurant. The sessions, arranged through a partnership between the city and the National Organization of Violence Advocates (NOVA), are designed to provide emotional support and connect people with recovery resources. Becky Gierer, a trained crisis support responder, and her team of specialists have been brought to Twin Falls through the city-NOVA partnership. "Yeah, recovery takes a long time," Gierer said. "It's not something that happens within a day or a week or even a month after an event; it can take a lot of time." "Because we know trauma, and sometimes it doesn't really always surface right away." Because privacy is paramount, the Idaho News 6 cameras stayed outside. City Counselor Ruth Pierce shared afterward how the community crisis sessions came about. "But one of the things we recognized is that this healing doesn't happen overnight," Pierce said. Pierce said the city surveyed residents to gauge community needs before bringing NOVA in. "We put out a survey asking the community what they needed, that our citizens were they processing do they want to have more support what they wanted to do got a really great response. We've coupled that with bringing nova's representatives in," Pierce said. The sessions are free and designed to be drop-in - no registration is needed. A schedule on the city's website directs community members to the session that works best for their schedule. When asked who the sessions are open to, Gierer said anyone impacted by the shooting is welcome. "Anyone who has been impacted by this event can come to this, so it might be folks that work at In-N-Out. It might be people that were in the community surrounding the area that was impacted. It might be the businesses that were around it. It could be anyone in the community that was touched by this event, which is a lot of folks," Gierer said. "And there'll be more later this week at various times and various locations, so we're hoping that we get members of the community that wanna talk about it or wanna find out more about how to help them through this," Pierce said.

Tucson sandwich chain looks to its past to guide its future.

Tucson sandwich chain looks to its past to guide its future. Eegee's ditches breakfast, focuses on its sandwiches, fries and drinks. Moms and dads cheered when Eegee's added chicken fingers to its menu in 2022, but there didn't seem to be much enthusiasm when the Tucson sandwich and iced drinks chain rolled out a breakfast menu in April. The addition of a chorizo and egg breakfast burrito, and trio of breakfast sandwiches with egg, cheese and choice of chorizo, sausage or ham along with a coffee-flavored Eegee made with real coffee seemed a bit off the beaten path for the company, which is celebrating its 55th anniversary. Not surprisingly, the breakfast menu quietly disappeared after only a couple of months, said CEO Ken Kenwood, who moved to Tucson in February to serve as operations vice president before taking over as CEO three months ago. People are also reading... "We're not a breakfast brand, and so when you're not noticed as that, I just don't think people are thinking, 'Hey, let's go into Eegee's and have a breakfast burrito'," Kenwood said. "They're thinking about more lunch, dinner, you know the summertime Eegee's, the ranch fries." That's what Kenwood wants customers to focus on - the sandwiches, iced drinks and those crispy crinkled fries served with the restaurant's addictive ranch dressing. "That's my main focus is to get us focused on how it used to be, and that was part of the decision to unwind breakfast," said Kenwood, who joined the Tucson chain after 33 years with the California burger behemoth In-N-Out. "Let's get back to getting customers excited about the Eegee's that it used to be." A big part of that is simplifying the menu and focusing on "our original sandwiches and grinders and ranch fries," Kenwood said. "Just really focusing mainly on that and not trying to reinvent the wheel with a bunch of different products and getting our customer base confused," he said. "What is Eegee's? What is it nowadays? That's really what the focus is." Kenwood said the chain will continue looking for unique Eegee's icee flavors, "but I think our core flavors are pretty strong when done right." The chain also is looking to get back to the customer-focused quality of service that nurtured brand loyalty going back to Eegee's early days. "A lot of neighborhoods and states and cities are very territorial as far as the brands and Eegee's has that brand loyalty here in the market," Kenwood said. "I was really trying to get back to some of the core things that we're known for. That's really what they brought me in for, to kind of help with that part and to get customer-focused quality of service." Contact reporter Cathalena E. Burch at [email protected].

In-N-Out's Tennessee expansion rolls on with new Clarksville site.

In-N-Out's Tennessee expansion rolls on with new Clarksville site. October 3, 2026 In-N-Out Burger has purchased the former Quality Inn Exit 4 property at 3095 Wilma Rudolph Boulevard in Clarksville, paving the way for a new restaurant and additional retail development. More Eat & Drink News The 6.26-acre site sits near Interstate 24 at Exit 4, one of Clarksville's busiest commercial corridors. In-N-Out plans to develop a new restaurant on the property, along with space for two future restaurant or retail establishments. The property previously operated as the 143-room Quality Inn Exit 4, a full-service hotel with high visibility along Wilma Rudolph Boulevard and easy access to I-24. Brandt Niehaus, principal broker with Huff, Niehaus & Associates, represented the seller in the transaction. "This was a unique opportunity to transition a well-established hotel property into a significant new commercial development," Niehaus said in a release. "The Quality Inn's location at Exit 4, with its excellent visibility and accessibility, made it an exceptional redevelopment site." Niehaus said the sale reflects continued demand for strategically located commercial real estate in Clarksville, which remains one of Tennessee's fastest-growing markets. A timeline for construction or an opening date for the new In-N-Out location has not yet been announced.

Costco overtakes H-EB as top retail brand.

Costco overtakes H-EB as top retail brand. Costco has overtaken H-E-B as the top retail brand in ChangeUp's 2026 Experience Report, marking the first time the warehouse retailer has led the rankings. How the rankings work. ChangeUp surveyed over 6,500 consumers across 300 brands, collecting more than 400,000 data points through surveys and AI-driven sentiment analysis of reviews and online discussions. Brands were assessed on eight dimensions: memorability, perceived staleness, likelihood of return, unprompted visit desire, customer advocacy, novelty, substitutability, and relevance. Costco improved in all eight categories, outperforming the retail average, while H-E-B's scores remained flat. In restaurants, In-N-Out Burger retained its top spot for the second year, followed by Texas Roadhouse. Chick-fil-A and Playa Bowls also stood out by turning unique elements into signature experiences that drive repeat visits. Emerging brands like Dutch Bros and Buc-ee's gained traction by making the in-store experience itself a draw. Grocers dominate, but discretionary retail lags. Grocery and club retailers occupy five of the top 10 retail spots, with Sam's Club (#7), Wegmans (#8), and Publix (#10) rounding out the list behind Costco and H-E-B. Wegmans, new to this year's study, was praised for its food selection, prepared meals, and staffing depth that attracts shoppers willing to travel. Publix earned recognition for service, including associates who assist with finding products and carrying bags. Convenience stores like Buc-ee's (#9) and Kwik Trip (#11) also rank highly, with the report noting that these brands turn the act of stopping into the primary reason for the visit. Meanwhile, discretionary categories such as apparel saw declines in customer satisfaction, suggesting that essential shopping trips hold steady while optional ones face growing competition. Other notable retailers in the Top 50 include Trader Joe's (#15), Harris Teeter (#17), and Aldi (#38), each cited for specific strengths, whether it's product variety, affordability, or operational efficiency.

Costco unseats H-E-B atop ChangeUp's 2nd Experience Report.

Costco unseats H-E-B atop ChangeUp's 2nd Experience Report. Share via: Costco has taken the No. 1 spot among retail brands in ChangeUp's 2026 Experience Report, displacing last year's leader H-E-B, which moved to No. 2. The Dayton, Ohio-based brand strategy and retail design agency's second annual report ranks the Top 50 retail and Top 50 restaurant brands by how strongly their physical experiences resonate with customers. In restaurants, In-N-Out held the top spot for the second consecutive year, followed by Texas Roadhouse. ChangeUp surveyed more than 6,500 consumers on more than 300 brands, capturing more than 400,000 data points through survey research and AI-powered sentiment analysis of consumer reviews and online conversations. Brands were evaluated on eight dimensions of experience: memorability, staleness, return intent, unprompted visit desire, advocacy, novelty, substitutability and relevance. New this year, retail and restaurant rankings are separated, with each category measured against its own competitive set. "Consumers are still willing to spend on experience, but as people become more selective, every trip now carries more expectation," said Lee Carpenter, CEO of ChangeUp. "They're taking fewer trips and asking more of the ones they make. The brands leading the rankings are giving people something that is harder to replace, along with a reason to make the trip, and a reason to remember it." Key findings. * Costco ranks No. 1 in retail, unseating H-E-B; it was one of the few brands to improve measurably this year, scoring above the retail average on all eight dimensions, while H-E-B held steady. * In-N-Out repeats at No. 1 in restaurants, with Texas Roadhouse at No. 2; Chick-fil-A and Playa Bowls also stand out for turning distinctive elements into signature experiences. * Emerging brands including Playa Bowls, Dutch Bros and Buc-ee's are creating enough pull to earn a trip, the report found. * The report examines how pickup, delivery and curbside are changing the role of the physical store, and what brands can do to make the visit worth choosing. * The strongest brands perform on multiple dimensions rather than excelling at just one. Grocers throughout the rankings. Grocery and club retailers dominate the retail list, claiming five of the top 10 spots. Behind Costco and H-E-B, Sam's Club ranks No. 7, Wegmans No. 8 and Publix No. 10, with Wegmans, new to the study this year, cited for range, prepared food and staffing deep enough that shoppers bypass other grocers and cross county lines, and Publix recognized for service, with associates who take customers to the shelf and carry bags out. Other food retailers in the Top 50 include Trader Joe's (No. 15), Harris Teeter (No. 17), Giant Eagle (No. 26), ShopRite (No. 31), Food Lion (No. 35), Kroger (No. 37), Aldi (No. 38), Meijer (No. 40) and Stop & Shop (No. 46). Convenience players Buc-ee's (No. 9) and Kwik Trip (No. 11) also crack the upper ranks, with the report crediting both for making the stop itself the reason to go. The report notes that grocery and mass - "the trips people cannot skip" - held their experience steady while discretionary categories like apparel slipped, and that the strongest leaders, including Costco, H-E-B and Fleet Feet, score well on nearly every dimension rather than spiking on one. "What we're seeing in the data is that a brand can do everything it did last year and still lose ground because the experiences around it are getting better," Carpenter said. "Staying relevant requires more than protecting what already works. Brands have to keep finding ways to give people a reason to choose them." ChangeUp's client work has included Chick-fil-A, Bath & Body Works, Kia, The Vitamin Shoppe, bp and Panera Bread. For more grocery news, view its grocery news page.
