Prisco's Family Market on Aurora's West Side closed until further notice after storm damage
Prisco's Family Market on Aurora's West Side is closed until further notice after storms on Monday evening damaged the building. The longtime, locally-owned grocery store announced the closure, citing damage from the storms, in a Facebook post early Tuesday morning. Later that day, caution tape could be seen blocking the store's entrance and the back of the store. Store owner Andy Guzauskas told The Beacon-News on Tuesday afternoon that he hopes to get the store back up and running soon, but at this point he isn't sure when that will be. The building is still being assessed by engineers and insurance officials, he said, and it is still unclear what exactly caused the damage. Aurora Fire Department crews responded to the store at around 8:30 p.m. on Monday after reports of water rushing into the store during the storms that night, according to a city of Aurora public safety spokesperson. The store closes at 8 p.m. every day of the week but Sunday, when it closes at 7 p.m. Responding firefighters found significant damage to the rear of the building after part of the back wall gave way, the spokesperson said. One employee was inside the building at the time, but they were removed safely, and no injuries were reported, the public safety spokesperson said. The Facebook post from Prisco's Family Market also said that everyone was safe. Aurora Property Standards responded and determined that the rest of the structure appeared to be sound, according to the spokesperson. However, they said that residents with back yards bordering the store were warned to stay clear of the building, and the parking lot near the damaged area was taped off. When asked about the impact that the closure is likely to have on his business, Guzauskas said that it is 'definitely going to be a tough go,' though he isn't sure what the long-term effects will be yet. The outpouring from the community has been wonderful, and everyone has been willing to help, though there isn't much anyone can do at the moment, according to Guzauskas. Coming up on 100 years in operation within the community, he said, it is 'awesome' to see people willing to step up when the business needs help. 'We can't wait to get back going at it and serve the community,' he said. The Monday evening storms came on the heels of severe thunderstorms over the weekend that caused damage and power outages across the region. In the Aurora area, the storms left thousands without power and in particular did significant damage to Fox Valley Park District facilities. City of Aurora residents with downed limbs from the storms don't need to wait until garbage day, they can place limbs on the curb immediately, according to a city Facebook post from Monday evening. The post said that the city will allow tree branches to be placed on the parkway outside of regular garbage days for two weeks. Branches and limbs from a half-inch to four inches in diameter and two to four feet in length must be bundled, with each bundle weighing less than 50 pounds, the city's Facebook post said. Bundled brush can be placed on the curb without a waste sticker, according to the Facebook post, but brush less than a half-inch in diameter is considered yard waste, so it must be placed in a kraft paper yard waste bag with a waste sticker attached. In a post to his personal campaign Facebook page Monday evening, Aurora Mayor John Laesch praised both city employees for their hard work in cleaning up from the storm and residents' efforts to help each other out. 'Please keep looking out for our neighbors,' Laesch said in the post. 'We are always #AuroraStrongerTogether.'

The former Facebook executive's $250 million special purpose acquisition company, American Exceptionalism Acquisition Corp. A, will look to merge with a company in the energy production, artificial intelligence, decentralized finance or defense industries, according to a letter to investors from the one-time SPAC King in its regulatory filing. That comes as investors leapfrog one another to buy shares of a handful of high-flying crypto-exposed stocks and flock to anything tied to AI and the infrastructure that can power it.

Orlando, Florida-based Darden Restaurants, Inc. (DRI) owns and operates full-service restaurants. With a market cap of $24.2 billion, the company owns and operates a variety of seafood and Italian restaurants under a multitude of brand names, serving customers in the U.S. and Canada. Shares of this leading full-service restaurant operator have considerably outperformed the broader market over the past year.

Subscribe now for quick, incisive midday market analysis you won't find anywhere else. Zooming in further, DRI's outperformance is also apparent compared to the AdvisorShares Restaurant ETF (EATZ). The exchange-traded fund has gained about 13% over the past year. Moreover, DRI's low double-digit returns on a YTD basis outshine the ETF's 1.9% gains over the same time frame. On Jun. 20, DRI shares closed up more than 1% after reporting its Q4 results. Its adjusted EPS of $2.98 surpassed Wall Street expectations of $2.96. The company's revenue was $3.3 billion, matching Wall Street forecasts. DRI expects full-year adjusted EPS to be $10.50 to $10.70. For fiscal 2026, ending in May 2026, analysts expect DRI's EPS to grow 11.3% to $10.63 on a diluted basis. The company's earnings surprise history is disappointing. It missed the consensus estimate in three of the last four quarters while beating the forecast on another occasion. Among the 28 analysts covering DRI stock, the consensus is a 'Moderate Buy.' That's based on 16 'Strong Buy' ratings, two 'Moderate Buys,' and 10 'Holds.' This configuration is less bearish than three months ago, with one analyst suggesting a 'Moderate Sell.' On Jul. 31, Barclays PLC (BCS) analyst Jeff Bernstein maintained a 'Buy' rating on DRI and set a price target of $255, the Street-high price target, implying a potential upside of 23% from current levels. The mean price target of $234.75 represents a 13.2% premium to DRI's current price levels.
