Phoenix has no shortage of options when it comes to Mexican food. These five family-owned restaurants have stood the test of time.
The Republic
Eight locations of the popular Valley chain Filiberto's have quietly closed, some permanently, according to signs posted on the doors.
The 24-hour drive-through Mexican restaurant has more than 50 locations in metro Phoenix alone. Originally started by the Tenorio family, the chain has franchised its locations to many different owners.
The eight locations are all owned by the Compadres Group. CEO John Schwimmer did not respond to a request for comment.
Residents took to Reddit on June 6 to announce the mysterious closures, noting closed signs on the doors at two Filiberto's on 19th Avenue and 83rd Avenue. Some of the eight locations include the word "permanently" handwritten on the sign.

RDDT Investors Have Opportunity to Lead Reddit, Inc. Securities Fraud Lawsuit with the Schall Law Firm
LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- The Schall Law Firm, a national shareholder rights litigation firm, reminds investors of a class action lawsuit against Reddit, Inc. ('Reddit' or 'the Company') (NYSE: RDDT) for violations of §§10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. Investors who purchased the Company's securities between October 29, 2024 and May 20, 2025, inclusive (the 'Class Period'), are encouraged to contact the firm before August 18, 2025. If you are a shareholder who suffered a loss, click here to participate.

You can also reach us through the firm's website at or by email at bschall@ The class, in this case, has not yet been certified, and until certification occurs, you are not represented by an attorney. If you choose to take no action, you can remain an absent class member. According to the Complaint, the Company made false and misleading statements to the market. Reddit's traffic was negatively impacted by changes to Google's search algorithm and features like AI Overview. The Company's traffic was impacted in materially different ways than it had been by prior Google changes. The Company was aware that Google users added 'Reddit' to their search hoping to get a answer to their question without actually visiting Reddit. The Company failed to overcome the challenges caused by Google in the short term. Based on these facts, the Company's public statements were false and materially misleading throughout the class period. When the market learned the truth about Reddit, investors suffered damages. Join the case to recover your losses. The Schall Law Firm represents investors around the world and specializes in securities class action lawsuits and shareholder rights litigation.

Costco changing hours for executive members on June 30
Costco is rolling out earlier shopping hours for executive members at U.S. warehouses — a subtle but significant shift nearly a year after raising membership fees for the first time since 2017. Why it matters: The perk is a way to add value to the membership club's top tier and potentially increase the ranks of executive members who make up a higher percentage of sales. Executive members make up more than 47% of Costco's paid memberships but represent 73.1% of sales globally, Costco CFO Gary Millerchip said on a May 29 earnings call. The big picture: The move mirrors a tactic from rival Sam's Club, which has long offered exclusive hours and extra perks to its premium-tier members. Costco previously had early hours for executive members and during the pandemic opened early some days for seniors and members with disabilities. When do Costco executive member hours start? Zoom in: Costco said in an email to members that the new executive member benefits are effective Monday, June 30. Warehouses will open at 9am daily exclusively for executive members. Another new benefit is a $10 monthly credit on same-day or Costco via Instacart orders of $150 or more. New Costco early executive shopping hours The following are Costco's new early shopping hours: Monday to Friday: 9am to 10am Saturday: 9am to 9:30am Sunday: 9am to 10am Yes, but: Locations that had been open at 9am for all members will also make a change. "Our U.S. locations that currently open at 9 am, will transition June 30th to limiting access to Executive Members only during the times outlined," Costco said in a comment on its Instagram post. Clubs will open at 10am weekdays and Sundays for all members and 9:30am on Saturdays. Costco's business centers and gas stations are not affected with the changes. Costco Saturday hours extended for all members What's next: Costco said that "U.S. warehouses will stay open one extra hour on Saturdays, closing at 7 pm for all members." Costco membership cost, executive member benefits Flashback: Costco increased membership fees for both Gold Star and Executive tiers by $5 and $10 respectively, effective Sept. 1, 2024. Gold Star and business membership fees are $65, up from $60. Executive membership fees are double the basic membership's price but members earn a 2% reward on eligible purchases. The $130 annual fee is up from $120. The special hours come after the wholesale club's membership card sharing crackdown went national with scanners at club entrances. The scanners can identify which membership level a member has.

M13 co-founder says communications is key to standing out in venture capital
Sharp, clear and persuasive communications are no longer optional for investors and founders, M13 co-founder Carter Reum said at an Axios event in Cannes. Why it matters: In a world where "everything is commoditized," Reum said, differentiation depends not just on what you build, but how you explain it and bring stakeholders along. What he's saying: "It's never been easier to start a company, but it's never been harder to be a successful company," Reum said. He says their success comes from the commitment to take "a very hands-on approach and then we communicate it. In everything we do, we have to have that reason for being, that reason to win, and that has to be communicated effectively." Between the lines: This also applies to the early-stage companies the venture capital firm invests in, he says. "One of the things that I look for in founders today is the ability to inspire, and what I mean by that, and why that's so important is, when you're starting off, you have to inspire or persuade a customer to take a chance on you," he said. "You have to persuade that key hire to come and leave their cushy job and come work for you. You have to inspire or persuade somebody like me to write you a $15 million check. And if you can do that every day, you have slightly better odds." By the numbers: A plurality of Americans think founders and CEOs need a public persona, according to a recent Morning Consult. Roughly 8 in 10 U.S. adults said a company's CEO affects their perception of that company, according to the survey. Meanwhile, executive posts on LinkedIn have surged 23% since last year, according to LinkedIn data shared with Axios. 70% of Gen Z want to hear from CEOs across social media, while 55% say they'd listen to CEO interviews on podcasts What to watch: Reum predicts AI will supercharge the way marketers and communicators work. Because AI can expedite the creation of content, "experiential events [will] become more valuable," he said. "I think it's people like my wife, [Paris Hilton], who prided herself on authenticity, [who] become more relevant. Because a year from now, a third of the things you look at on Instagram will be AI."
