At Home enters bankruptcy amid tariff concerns
At Home has started bankruptcy proceedings amid economic concerns about tariffs but plans to keep most of its stores open. Why it matters: The Coppell-based low-priced home goods company says it has faced "continued volatility" in the home goods industry. "We are operating against the backdrop of an increasingly dynamic and rapidly evolving trade environment as we navigate the impact of tariffs," At Home announced Monday. The big picture: At Home now joins other major retailers — including Joann, Bed Bath & Beyond, Party City and Conn's — that have filed for bankruptcy in recent years. The latest: At Home recently reached a restructuring agreement with lenders with more than 95% of the company's debt. The process includes filing for voluntary Chapter 11 bankruptcy and changing ownership. The company plans to close 26 stores by Sept. 30 — none are in Texas, per the Des Moines Register. Flashback: In 2022, the company moved its headquarters from Plano to the Cypress Waters development. The building was big enough to accommodate 1,000 employees over the next 10 years. At Home was expecting to expand to 600 stores. The company currently has 260 stores, per court filings. What's next: At Home says most of its stores will continue to operate in the "normal course of business." The company's return policies, loyalty program and gift cards will remain. The website will also make sales. "At Home is not shutting down," the company says. Reality check: Though filing for bankruptcy isn't a death sentence, it's common for a company to say it will stay open and shut down later.

Mazda Leans on Toyota to Survive EV Disruption and U.S. Tariffs Shake-Up
At a time when the auto industry is undergoing massive change, even the largest manufacturers can run short of cash. For a small player like Mazda it's become increasingly difficult to keep up. Unless, that is, it can find some help from an industry giant like Toyota. The two erstwhile competitors have found a growing number of reasons to cooperate. They've partnered on several new products and have even set up a joint venture assembly plant in Huntsville, Alabama. But that could be just the start of a beautiful friendship, Mazda CEO Masahiro Moro told Autoblog during a meeting in his office in Hiroshima. "Our collaboration is broader than you might think of it," said Moro. "We are doing it because of global competition. In the era of electrification and of software-defined vehicles, we have to go after too many things at the same time." With internal combustion technology, the CEO explained, it made sense for manufacturers to maintain complete autonomy. That's changed with hybrids and EVs, though, as electric motor drive systems "have the same characteristics, almost." "We are moving from an automotive industry into a mobility industry. That's a game change and you have to help each other to save your resources. Mazda and Toyota first started working together back in 2017. Their first two jointly developed products came to market four years later. They've since doubled that to four models, two for each manufacturer, with the Mazda CX-50 Hybrid and the Toyota Corolla Cross Hybrid. Both roll out of the Mazda Toyota Manufacturing factory that opened in Huntsville in 2023, at an initial cost of $2.3 billion. It's still in the ramp phase, noted Moro, operating at just two shifts and last year producing about 100,000 vehicles. Mazda is looking to boost that to 150,000 in the near future. The tie-up with Toyota is clearly paying off. With its expanded line-up and its ability to produce locally, Mazda saw sales in the U.S. market grow 16.8% last year to 424,382 vehicles. By comparison, its global volume grew a much more modest 2.6% to 1.278 million. The plant not only gives the Hiroshima-based automaker more product to sell but will reduce its potential hit from the new Trump import auto tariffs. Like other automakers, Mazda continues to explore its opportunities to minimize the impact of those new trade sanctions – which formally went into effect on May 3. For his part, Chief Financial Officer Jeff Guyton said Mazda's board has been looking at what he described as "Plan A and Plan B" strategies. The plans explore a variety of options, including what products to offer in the U.S., as well as where both parts and components, as well as fully assembled vehicles, will be sourced. The ability to increase production in Alabama is just one option. But CEO Moro stressed that even changing parts suppliers "takes a long time so it won't be an immediate switch. Meanwhile, we need to consider and reevaluate our business priorities, investment priorities and timeframe." The relationship with Toyota, meanwhile, adds more potential opportunities, according to Moro. Asked whether the bigger automaker eventually might try "swallow" Mazda, Moro downplayed that possibility. In decades past, Toyota was loathe to form alliances unless absolutely essential, such as the 1980s-era partnership with General Motors that helped the industry giant see what it took to set up manufacturing in America. Toyota was more likely to acquire smaller manufacturers, as it did with Daihatsu and Hino. Today, however, Toyota has several alliances, including Subaru, as well as Mazda, and the three are now finding ways to work together. Their initial focus will be optimizing hybrid and EV drive technology. But the alliances aren't limited to product. "It is not just a technology and product collaboration," Moro said of Mazda's expanding ties to Toyota, "but also a business collaboration, like sales and finance in the U.S. We switched from a bank…to Toyota Financial Services to provide us flexibility to interact with customers." That's not to say Mazda is bound to become little more than a downsized clone, Moro stressed. It continues to maintain its independence in many areas. The widely acclaimed Iconic SP concept underscores the high premium Mazda puts on design. And it has a number of technologies that it so far hasn't shared, like the G-Vectoring system designed to minimize body roll and harshness. It's also working to revive the Wankel engine technology that was one of its defining features back in the 1970s and 1980s. Mazda, said Moro, knows it would be challenging to go it alone in today's environment, but it also knows that such a small company must also have a unique business proposition if its to stand out from its bigger competitors.

Fuel supplier Global Partners fumes after getting bypassed by MassDOT for Applegreen in service-plaza bid
It didn't take long before Global and a nonprofit partner, CommonWealth Kitchen, expressed their dismay. On Friday afternoon, Global issued a press release urging MassDOT's board to reconsider the Applegreen recommendation. Advertisement Max Slifka, Global's senior vice president of real estate, said in a statement that Global would pay roughly 50 percent more in rent than Applegreen would in its bid. He added that that state highway officials are missing an opportunity to invest in a business with 'deep Massachusetts roots' rather than handing off this important infrastructure 'to outsiders with no proven stake in our state.' Get Starting Point A guide through the most important stories of the morning, delivered Monday through Friday. Enter Email Sign Up Global already runs four service plazas that Applegreen would take over in 2027, at rest stops in on Route 6 in Barnstable, Route 24 in Bridgewater, and Route 128 in Beverly. A MassDOT spokeswoman said Applegreen was picked because of its demonstrated preparedness for the job and its track record of successful operations in other states. (Boston-based Suffolk Construction is Applegreen's general contractor on the bid.) Advertisement Jen Faigel, CEO of the CommonWealth Kitchen food-business incubator, said she saw the service plaza project as a way to broaden the nonprofit's work with Global. The two organizations had previously started discussing ways to get more locally made products into Global convenience stores, and then developed plans to sell some of the foods made by CommonWealth Kitchen businesses at the rest areas if Global were to win the bid. 'It was very surprising to me that a proposal like Global's didn't win,' Faigel said. 'For me, it just seemed like a missed opportunity to not want to support a business like this.'
