Leonard's Kielbasi Market rings in 102 years
WILKES-BARRE, LUZERNE COUNTY (WBRE/WYOU) — Celebrating more than a century in business is a huge milestone for any local shop, but one in Luzerne County is also welcoming a new expansion to its legacy. 28/22 News has more from Wilkes-Barre with how they're ringing in history… Kielbasi rings, that is. Turning on the lights and opening up shop is something 89-year-old Ed Balicki has done as the owner of Leonard's Kielbasi Shop in Wilkes-Barre for more than 50 years. 'It's my whole part of my life. I don't know what I would do without it at times,' said 'Kielbasi Godfather' Ed Balicki. His grandfather from Poland, Thomas Dyleski, started it back in 1923. He later took it over in the 60s from his dad. In all that time, he's gotten used to speaking on camera. 'This isn't your first time interviewing with WBRE,' asked 28/22 News reporter Sydney Kostus. 'No, it isn't!' said Balicki. He was interviewed by Dan Gallagher back in 1982, and again more than ten years later by 28/22's Mark Hiller. Those interviews happened from inside the same building located on Kado Street. Man accused of murder, burning woman's body has court appearance Decades later, to the present day, instead of handmaking it down in the basement, it's moved next door to the shop's brand-new production facility. 'New building, new equipment, same great recipe, and we're so thankful to have such great customers,' explained co-owner Chet Makuch. Chet Makuch now co-owns the market with his son. The business is staying in the family, as Chet's dad owned the shop alongside Ed. 'It's been a staple in the community for so many years. I grew up running around in the store when I was a kid,' said Makuch. He says the new building was to keep up with the demand of orders, upgrading from an old smokehouse to a new state-of-the-art one. 'We've gone from a full day of operation, down to four or five hours,' explained Makuch. Expanding its services, but providing the same cherrywood-smoked kielbasi 102 years later. Something Balicki says always brings its loyal customers back. 'They said they've tried it everywhere else and there's nothing like ours. It makes me proud,' said Balicki. In addition to its new production facility, the century-old kielbasi market has also started online orders to ship its product. They say they've already sent orders as far as Alaska and Hawaii.

Abercrombie & Fitch Co. (ANF): A Bull Case Theory
We came across a bullish thesis on Abercrombie & Fitch Co. on Trendinvest's Substack by Makios. In this article, we will summarize the bulls' thesis on ANF. Abercrombie & Fitch Co.'s share was trading at $98.67 as of July 30th. ANF's trailing and forward P/E were 9.73 and 9.18, respectively according to Yahoo Finance. A close-up of a customer trying on a piece of apparel in the retailer's spacious dressing room, emphasizing the company's focus on personal care and experience. Abercrombie & Fitch (ANF) appears significantly undervalued despite delivering strong fundamentals and multiple near-term growth catalysts. Trading at just ~10x free cash flow, ~9x forward P/E, and less than 1x sales, the company is growing revenues from $3.7B in 2023 to an expected $4.9B by 2025, while improving margins and maintaining a healthy balance sheet. The business operates with 8–10% net margins, ~30% ROE, and minimal China tariff exposure (~5–6%), limiting downside risk from geopolitical tensions. Q1 FY2025 results were strong, with a $1.59 EPS beat versus $1.33 expected. ANF has also authorized a $1.3B buyback program, with $200M spent in Q1 alone—no dilution, just enhanced shareholder value. Recent stock weakness stems from tariff concerns and sluggish Abercrombie brand performance, not deteriorating fundamentals. Notably, Hollister, which accounts for ~50% of revenue, is seeing strong traction, fueled by a Gen Z-focused strategy including viral TikTok collaborations such as with Spencer Barbosa and a hit 2000s retro collection. Web and foot traffic data suggest robust in-store activity and growing online interest. A second catalyst looms: the launch of a 25th anniversary collection on July 29, already generating millions of views and viral momentum on social media. While core Abercrombie remains flat, recent signs hint at a potential rebound. Alternative data (Google Trends, TikTok metrics, website traffic) shows rising interest across both brands. With a PEG ratio of just 0.22, the market seems to be pricing in none of this growth or brand momentum. An inflection point may be near, and sentiment could shift fast. Previously we covered a on Urban Outfitters (URBN) by Value Don't Lie in September 2024, which highlighted strong free cash flow, brand strength, and capital returns. The stock has appreciated approximately 115.35% since our coverage as the thesis played out. The thesis still stands. Makios shares a similar view on Abercrombie & Fitch, emphasizing viral brand momentum and near-term catalysts. Abercrombie & Fitch Co. is not on our list of the 30 Most Popular Stocks Among Hedge Funds. As per our database, 42 hedge fund portfolios held ANF at the end of the first quarter which was 51 in the previous quarter. While we acknowledge the potential of ANF as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk.
