H-E-B giving away free groceries for a year to 120 lucky shoppers
H-E-B is giving Texans a chance at winning free groceries for a year.
To celebrate its 120th birthday, the Texas-based grocer is giving away free groceries to 120 Texans. It's all a part of its " Big Thanks Texas Giveaway" which was announced during a Super Bowl commercial Sunday night.
From Feb. 10 through June 9, one winner will be selected daily to win a $7,000 H-E-B gift card.
Shoppers can enter the contest by making a purchase using the My H-E-B app and showing a barcode to a cashier or ordering groceries via the app. Shoppers who don't have the app can also enter the giveaway by mail.
Shoppers are eligible to enter the giveaway once a day. H-E-B said winners will be notified with a phone call and an email.
Last month, H-E-B was named the No. 1 grocery store in the U.S. for the fourth time in eight years. The report said this was due to its superior ability to deliver a combination of better savings and better experience and assortment, supported by time savings through better digital capabilities.

General Mills mulls sale of China Haagen-Dazs stores, Bloomberg News reports
(Reuters) -General Mills is considering selling its Haagen-Dazs ice-cream stores in China, Bloomberg News reported on Wednesday, citing people familiar with the matter. The Minneapolis, Minnesota-based company may seek several hundred million dollars for the assets in a sale process that could begin this year, the report added. The discussions are in early stages and the company may not pursue a sale, the report said, adding that General Mills intends to continue selling Haagen-Dazs in places such as supermarkets and convenience stores in China. Reuters could not immediately confirm the report. General Mills did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for a comment. General Mills has been undergoing a restructuring and said last month that it would record a charge of about $70 million in its current quarter. The restructuring efforts, estimated at around $130 million, are expected to be completed by the end of its fiscal year 2028. Packaged food companies including McCormick, General Mills and Conagra Brands have faced slowing demand as sticky inflation has compelled budget-conscious customers to hunt for value even for essential items such as groceries.

ASX extends record breaking run
Australia's sharemarket continued its record breaking run higher on Wednesday, amid trade hopes between the US and China. The benchmark ASX 200 index eked out a small gain of 4.90 points or 0.06 per cent to 8,592.10 to continue its record run higher. The broader All Ordinaries also finished in the green up 6.90 points or 0.08 per cent to 8,819.60. The Australian dollar slipped 0.23 per cent and is now buying 65.12 US cents. On Wednesday, shares jumped on the opening bell, surpassing the previous 8,614 mark set on February 14 hitting a high point of 8,639.1, before falling during the afternoon's session. Australia's market ran up off the back of US Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick saying the second days of negotiations in London between China and the US had been 'productive'. This saw seven of the 11 sectors still finished higher, led by energy, the major miners and real estate. Australian iron ore miners were among the major winners on the back of this news, as prices of the commodity rose. BHP shares jumped 1.48 per cent to $39.05, Rio Tinto rose 0.24 per cent to $109.38, Fortescue leapt 3.45 per cent to $16.21 and Mineral Resources gained 3.17 per cent to $25.71. Woodside energy led oil stocks higher, up 1.9 per cent to $23.5 while Santos rose 0.60 per cent to $6.70. CBA mining and energy commodity research director Vivek Dhar said the spot iron ore price fell below $95 a tonne in the days leading up to the talk, before bouncing on news of a temporary pause. 'The agreement at least shows that both sides are keen to keep de‑escalating the trade war,' he wrote in an economic note. 'However, we think any bounce in iron ore prices linked to today's agreement will be less material than the bounce observed last month after the 90‑day pause on high tariffs.' The financial sector slid with Commonwealth Bank snapping its record run as it fell 0.3 per cent to $181.40. NAB shares also traded lower down 0.26 per cent to $39.07. Westpac shares are up 0.39 per cent to $33.63 while ANZ is also in the green up 0.37 per cent $29.94. In corporate news shares in Qantas declined after announcing it was pulling the pin on its Jetstar Asia Singaporean-based airline. In an announcement to the ASX, the airline said it is expected to post a $35m underlying Earnings Before Interest and Taxes (EBIT) loss this financial year, prior to the closure decision. Buy now, pay later provider Zip shares were the best performing for the second day running after releasing its latest trading update. Zip said its business continued to see momentum in the month of May, with US total transactions volumes rising by more than 40 per cent year-on-year as well as no material changes to credit loss for the March quarter across its US and Australian business. Fertility group Monash IVF shares soared 13 per cent, following a 27 per cent drop on Tuesday as the shares began recovering from news of a second major bungle in three months, which led to the wrong embryo being implanted.

Vision Marine Secures U.S. Battery Supply Chain Through Strategic Expansion with Octillion Power Systems
U.S.-Assembled 45.36 kWh High-Voltage Packs from Nevada Facility to Promote Accelerated OEM and Consumer Growth Through E-Motion™ Platform MONTREAL, QC / / June 11, 2025 / Vision Marine Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:VMAR) ("Vision Marine" or the "Company"), a pioneer in high-voltage electric marine propulsion systems, today announced a major milestone in its U.S. scale-up strategy: the expansion of its longstanding partnership with Octillion Power Systems, a top-tier U.S.-based lithium-ion battery manufacturer, to produce Vision-branded high-voltage battery packs dedicated exclusively to the American market. Under the terms of the agreement, Octillion will assemble Vision Marine's new proprietary 45.36 kWh battery packs at its state-of-the-art facility in Nevada, aiding in fast, cost-efficient distribution across North America. These batteries are designed to support both Vision Marine's OEM integrations and consumer-facing electric boat offerings, delivering increased power, extended range, and improved performance-while reducing total system cost and simplifying logistics. This renewed and enhanced partnership establishes a partial U.S. supply chain for Vision Marine's proprietary E-Motion™ 180E electric outboard system, unlocking key efficiencies. In addition to supporting factory integration with third-party manufacturers, the partnership provides a reliable and consistent battery supply for Vision Marine's direct-to-consumer electric boat sales, including those produced under formal production agreements with multiple established boat manufacturers. These vessels are sold through Vision Marine's channels while retaining the original manufacturer's branding, enabling broad market reach without altering brand identity. "Octillion has been an integral technology partner to Vision Marine for several years, powering our most high-performance programs-including multiple electric world speed record boats," said Alexandre Mongeon, CEO of Vision Marine Technologies. "With this expanded partnership and the support of Octillion's Nevada facility, we are positioned to scale commercial deliveries and prepare for our next record-setting performance with more power and higher efficiency."

The battery systems being manufactured by Octillion are integrated with Vision Marine's patent-pending proprietary high-voltage marine propulsion powertrain -the first battery pack purpose-built for electric marine propulsion. Engineered to meet the demanding conditions of marine use, these packs deliver enhanced energy density, ruggedness, and integration simplicity-promoting optimal performance across a wide range of recreational and commercial applications. The packs will be available exclusively with the E-Motion™ 180E outboard and offered as part of a fully integrated, plug-and-play powertrain solution. Designed for rapid OEM adoption and simplified factory installation, this system addresses long-standing industry barriers to electric adoption-namely cost, complexity, and limited performance. By leveraging Octillion's Nevada-based production infrastructure and forward-leaning technical engagement, Vision Marine becomes the first company in North America offering a fully industrialized, high-voltage electric marine outboard system with a U.S.-sourced battery solution -positioning the Company to meet growing demand for electrified boating while supporting regulatory and content compliance initiatives.
