Isaly's to set up new shop in the Strip District
Jim Conroy remembers growing up and going to the Isaly's shop on Freeport Road — where a GetGo location now operates — and ordering skyscraper ice cream cones, hoping to bite into a piece of gum that would signal winning a free ice cream cone.
Now, he and his wife Leslee own the Isaly's brand and are working to bring back the original store.
Conroy and company at Isaly LLC have leased the 3,500-square-foot space at 2111 Penn Ave. in which to establish the first new Isaly's store likely in decades.
As the owner and caretaker of a brand with plenty of history in western Pennsylvania, Conroy emphasized the new shop won't stint on what the retail stores once located throughout the region had in the past, mixing a deli counter offering the signature chipped chopped ham, as well as a selection of long-time ice cream flavors and what will be homemade ice cream bars.

Shop at Ross? Retailer says tariffs could increase prices
Add Ross Stores to the retailers expecting to raise some prices due to tariffs. Ross Stores, which operates Ross Dress for Less and DD's Discounts, may be forced to raise prices on some products, executives said during the company's first quarter earnings call on May 22. The retailer reported flat sales for the 13-week period ending May 3, compared to the same period a year ago. Net income of $479 million dipped nearly 2% from a year ago, but met expectations of analysts polled by S&P Global Market Intelligence. Sales increased each month during the quarter, but the effects of inflation and tariffs and inflation loom over the coming weeks, CEO Jim Conroy said in comments in the earnings release. 'Heightened macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainty persists, most notably prolonged inflation and evolving trade policies," he said.

Earlier this month, President Donald Trump reached a U.S.-China agreement to lower tariff rates on trade for 90 days – cutting the tariffs on Chinese imports from 145% on most goods to 30% tariff, while China reduced tariffs on U.S. goods from 125% to 10%. While Trump called on Walmart to "eat the tariffs," Ross Stores is among retailers including Walmart, Amazon, and Best Buy preparing customers for higher prices on some products. Half of the goods sold at its stores originate from China, Conroy said. "As such, we expect pressure on our profitability if tariffs remain at elevated levels," he said. Like other retailers, Ross Stores is trying multiple strategies to "mitigate the cost" of tariffs, but expects consumers to begin feeling their impact in late June and early July, chief operating officer Michael Hartshorn told analysts during the earnings call, according to a transcript from S&P Global Market Intelligence. In addition to finding products made in other countries, Ross Stores is working with suppliers to "get better costing, which we've done at this point, even in the second quarter," he said. Lastly, the retailer can increase the price charged for products, "but we want to be very careful with price increases," Hartshorn said. "We don't want to be the first one to raise prices, and we want to make sure that we keep our value or pricing umbrella versus mainstream retail." In the months ahead, this dilemma will be felt by consumers and retailers – many of which rely on goods from China, Conroy said. "At the end of the day, there's a lot of product, particularly over the next 6 months, that is going to be imported from China for us and for every other retailer and every other off-price company," he said. Ross Stores projected flat to 3% sales during the current 13-week period ending Aug. 2, compared to a 4% increase a year ago.
