Boston, MA, Aug. 14, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Five Iron Golf, the global leader in golf and entertainment, is thrilled to announce the official opening of its second Boston location in the vibrant Seaport District on August 14. Spanning 16,000 square feet across two floors, the new flagship builds on the success of Five Iron Golf's first Boston venue, which opened in 2022 in Government Center and quickly became a go-to destination for golfers and social seekers alike.
Located at the intersection of Seaport's corporate, residential, and entertainment hubs, Five Iron Golf Seaport features 13 Trackman -powered golf simulators, professional instruction and swing evaluations, and Callaway club fitting services. The venue also includes two duckpin bowling lanes, a full-service bar and restaurant, and dedicated lounge areas for private events and group gatherings.

Her work is joined by contributions from artists Jason Naylor , Dain , and akaSUCH , as well as technologist Scott Mann, blending street art with digital media and immersive design. The result is a multisensory environment that spans both floors of the venue—from the duckpin bowling lanes to a sculptural golf cart installation—infusing the space with Five Iron's signature mix of edge, energy, and creativity.

Kroger settles with C&S Wholesale after failed $25 billion Albertsons merger

Kroger announced Aug. 11 that it has settled litigation with C&S Wholesale Grocers, which sued the Cincinnati-based supermarket giant in the wake of a failed $25 billion merger with Albertsons. The Keene, New Hampshire-based supplier and retailer was set to acquire nearly 600 divested stores from Kroger and Albertsons upon completion of the deal. C&S Wholesale claimed Kroger owed it a $125 million termination fee in the event the merger was called off. Kroger said all claims were resolved. Terms of the settlement were confidential. 'We are pleased to resolve the claims from C&S, and we look forward to a friendly relationship with them going forward,' said Interim CEO Ron Sargent, in a statement. Would-be acquirer of stores was part of merger's failure C&S Wholesale was seen as part of the reason for the merger's failure. While the company supplies thousands of grocery stores nationwide, its retail operations were modest: a couple dozen stores. In the successful antitrust cases against the merger, regulators argued C&S Wholesale would not be a strong enough competitor to a super-sized Kroger. C&S Wholesale executives also faced several awkward questions during antitrust hearings when it was revealed they had mocked their own company's retail investments. Litigation against Kroger in the aftermath of the abandoned merger is not over: The Boise, Idaho-based retailer announced it was also suing Kroger the same day it pulled out of the deal for allegedly botching regulatory approval. Albertsons' lawsuit is also seeking to collect a breakup fee worth $600 million. Details of Kroger CEO's abrupt exit sought in two lawsuits In that case, Albertsons is seeking the reason that Kroger's long-serving CEO Rodney McMullen resigned in March following an ethics investigation. Kroger has offered few details of McMullen's exit, saying only that "certain personal conduct" by McMullen was 'inconsistent' with its ethics policy. Albertsons argues that Kroger's ethical conduct, while McMullen was at the helm, is relevant to how it pursued its efforts to win merger approval. McMullen's departure has also come up in another lawsuit against Kroger. Grammy-nominated singer Jewel has sued the grocer for allegedly cutting her out of the Kroger Wellness Festival, which she helped organize in its early years. In that case, a judge has ordered McMullen to explain the details of his resignation, which may later be revealed in court records.

HealthPartners launches simple, copay-only health plan

BLOOMINGTON, Minn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--HealthPartners is launching a variable copay benefit plan that aims to provide unparalleled transparency of cost and coverage to members. 'We developed Simplica in response to the growing demand for more predictable benefits.' -Andrea Walsh, HealthPartners president and CEO Share HealthPartners Simplica NextGen Copay health plan has no deductible or coinsurance for in-network care, and members see what they'll pay up front before scheduling. Copay amounts for specific services at each hospital or clinic vary based on the quality and affordability of the care delivered. A key feature of the plan is the personalized digital experience fully integrated within a member's HealthPartners account. Using HealthPartners' Find Care tool, members can search by condition, provider or service; compare care options; and see their exact copay before scheduling. Members pay less when they choose care with better outcomes. 'We developed Simplica in response to the growing demand for more predictable benefits,' says Andrea Walsh, HealthPartners president and CEO. 'This plan gives members the cost clarity and ease they expect from their health plan and guides them in making informed decisions about where to get the care they need.' For example, the copay for an office visit will range from $20 to $150 depending upon the plan option, care site and service. Most same day labs and x-rays are bundled into the copay – helping reduce unexpected costs. Services that may require a separate copay are also visible through the Find Care digital experience. In addition, many virtual care options are covered at a $0 copay. The plan will launch Jan. 1, 2026, and is initially available to large-group, self-insured employers in the Twin Cities metro and surrounding counties. Simplica can save companies up to 15% in claim costs and that translates into savings for employees. 'Unlike third-party platforms or standalone applications, Simplica delivers one seamless experience that makes it easier for members and employers to understand and manage costs,' says Moe Suleiman, HealthPartners senior vice president of health solutions. 'This plan ties copays to provider value, guides members in real time, and delivers the digital-first convenience today's workforce expects.' For more information, visit the Simplica NextGen Copay website. About HealthPartners HealthPartners is a nonprofit organization with a mission of improving health and well-being in partnership with its members, patients and community. An integrated system of care and coverage since its founding in 1957, HealthPartners operates hospitals and clinics, health plans, and a research and education institute.

Seth Klarman's Baupost picks up beaten-down shares, raises Alphabet stake

Baupost Group's Seth Klarman picked up several beaten-down stocks last quarter, while increasing its big stake in Google parent Alphabet to take advantage of the rebound in technology. The widely-followed hedge fund manager took a new, $154 million stake in fintech services provider Fiserv , according to the latest regulatory filing. Fiserv recently nosedived after cutting its forecast for annual revenue growth, bringing the stock's six-month loss to 42%. Baupost also added a $51 million bet on packaging firm Amcor Plc and a $24 million stake in Brazilian payments company PagSeguro Digital in the second quarter. The Boston-based hedge fund also hiked its stake in Alphabet last quarter, by 27% to a holding worth $464 million at the end of June. Alphabet, whose shares rallied 14% in the second quarter, is now Baupost's second-largest position, trailing only Swiss mobile and broadband provider Sunrise Communications . Baupost's top holdings at the end of June also included Wesco International , Willis Towers Watson and asphalt and cement maker CRH PLC . The billionaire hedge fund manager has been an almost religious follower of Benjamin Graham's investing style, buying out-of-favor and undervalued assets to ensure a margin of safety. As a result, Klarman has drawn comparisons to Warren Buffett for his patient, disciplined approach, leading some to dub him "The Oracle of Boston" in a nod to "The Oracle of Omaha." The 68-year-old Harvard and Cornell grad published his investment book, "Margin of Safety," in 1991. A long out-of-print cult favorite, a used copy of "Margin of Safety" now fetches almost $4,000 on Amazon . Klarman recently helped update the investment bible " Security Analysis " by Benjamin Graham and David Dodd, written in 1934 in the depths of the Great Depression. Klarman co-founded Baupost in 1982 , when the firm had just $27 million in assets. It scored a 20% average annualized return for the next few decades, posting its best year in 2017, with a 52% return, specializing in buying distressed debt and mortgage securities that had bottomed. However, as growth stocks and technology shares have continued to lead the stock market after a decade of outperformance, value investors like Klarman have struggled with underperformance in recent years. Baupost has returned only about 4% a year in the last decade, and investors have withdrawn roughly $7 billion from the hedge fund over the past three years, according to Bloomberg News.
