EDDC expects new additions to bridge gap in community needs
The CEO of the Erie Downtown Development Corporation, Drew Whiting, said the Flagship City Commons has been under design for about a year.

The idea is that the 312-space parking garage is connected with the public space in Perry Square While also connecting all of the campus redevelopment that has taken place over the last six to seven years
Whiting said new additions will include spaces for new businesses, Dave's Diner that will open in a couple of months, and Country Fair that is set to open in less than a month.
He said Country Fair will fulfill the need for a grocery and address a food desert for fresh produce and meat.

'We're working on getting Serafini's open on State Street in the Cashier's House which we expect to be the same time frame like mid to late May and then along Peach towards the entrance to our parking garage and adjacent to Dave's Diner we're looking at an Irish bar concept and potentially one other business to enter that row,' Whiting said.
Whiting said the other potential business will be a great amenity to Gannon students.

Bernstein Affirms ‘Outperform' Rating on Ryanair Holdings (RYAAY), Hikes Price Target
Ryanair Holdings plc (NASDAQ:RYAAY) is one of the top industrial stocks to buy amid easing tariff uncertainties. On July 22, Bernstein SocGen Group reiterated an 'Outperform' rating on the stock and raised the price target to €28 from €27. The positive stance follows the stock's remarkable strength year to date. The Irish airline continues to deliver solid results by benefiting from fare growth. Fares have increased compared to both 2023 and 2024, attributed to high demand for revenge travel. The high travel demand has resulted in a 9.24% increase in revenue and a 28.86% improvement in the gross profit margin. In June, the airline carried 19.9 million passengers, marking 3% year-over-year increase, affirming the strong demand. In addition, Ryanair has been effective in cost control, with unit costs excluding fuel increasing by just 1.6% amid robust revenue growth. While Bernstein expects non-fuel costs to increase by between 3% and 4% for the year, the lower fuel costs are expected to help offset this increase. Therefore, total cost growth is likely to be below management guidance. Ryanair Holdings plc (NASDAQ:RYAAY) is an Irish airline holding company that provides low-fare, short-haul passenger airline services to destinations with a network connecting over 240 destinations in more than 40 countries. In addition to its core flight operations, the company also offers various ancillary services, including car hire, travel insurance, and accommodation, through its website and mobile app. While we acknowledge the potential of RYAAY as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk.

What's on the menu at JPMorgan's new headquarters
How many coffee bars does it take to fuel 14,000 Wall Streeters? According to JPMorgan's internal communications for its new tower, the answer could be in the dozens. There won't be just two in the lobby or two more upstairs in its massive food hall — work cafés will be located on every floor, according to internal documents obtained by Business Insider that outline what employees can expect as they gear up for the move. The building, located at 270 Park Avenue in Manhattan, is slated to open for most workers early next year, but some will move in sooner, the documents said. The bank's communications to its staffers reveal a carefully designed culinary ecosystem — one that signals how serious it is about making in-office life palatable, even pleasurable, as it calls workers back to the office five days a week. The bank's CEO, Jamie Dimon, has made clear that he thinks working from home is inefficient and ineffective. "It is an apprenticeship system. You can't learn working from your basement," he said earlier this year. A spokesperson declined to comment on the new details, which were shared with employees through an internal portal. In addition to overflowing options for coffee breaks, JPMorgan is dangling Michelin-starred vegan meals and 24-hour coffee — perfect for bleary-eyed bankers in need of a 2 a.m. pick-me-up. On the menu at the Exchange, a social hub spread across floors 13th to 16th floors, are fast-salad spot Sweetgreen; Umami; and Little Dirt Candy, which appears to be connected to a Lower Manhattan vegan spot run by a Michelin-starred chef. Overall, there will be some 15 choices in the Exchange, the bank documents said, plus refreshments on all of the bank's 60 floors. Park Avenue Express, what appears to be a proprietary JPMorgan concept, is billed as the spot "for those looking for a quick bite to eat at any time of day or night," the documents say, noting that it's open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. "There are plenty of options to keep you fueled throughout your day and tons of opportunities to recharge with your favorite snacks and coffee drinks in our cafes and coffee bars," one of the documents said. The 14th floor of the tower will also house a Monday to Friday Starbucks location and The Corner, "a vibrant New York coffee house" featuring "a diverse selection of artisanal brews and locally sourced treats." The bank's private company portal also recently introduced employees to Morgan's, an Irish pub where employees can catch up with colleagues for a pint. "Meet a friend. Grab a bite. Catch the game," the communications said of the pub, which requires a reservation. Other Wall Street banks have also called workers back, with most firms like Goldman Sachs and Bank of America expecting them five days a week. Citi retains a two-day-from-home policy for most employees. JPMorgan's demands have resulted in complaints by employees and a burgeoning union movement at the bank — none of which has changed Dimon's position on returning to the office. Those who push back "can get a job — and I'm not being mean — they can get a job elsewhere," Dimon said during an interview this year.

Euro zone industry shrinks more than feared in June but GDP holds up
FRANKFURT (Reuters) -Euro zone industrial output dipped more than expected in June even as overall economic growth held up in the second quarter, challenging views that the 20 nation currency union remains resilient to the fallout from a global trade war. Industrial output fell 1.3% on the month in June, driven by a big dip in Germany and weak consumer goods production, underperforming expectations for a 1.0% fall, data from Eurostat showed on Thursday. Adding to the negative surprise, Eurostat also revised its output growth estimate for May to 1.1% from 1.7%, suggesting that the underlying trend is weaker than thought. Meanwhile GDP grew by 0.1% on the quarter, in line with a preliminary estimate, and employment rose just 0.1% on the quarter, in line with expectations in a Reuters poll, but below the 0.2% in the previous three months. A recent string of relatively upbeat indicators from purchasing managers (PMI) data to the European Commission's sentiment reading have fuelled a narrative that consumption is keeping the bloc resilient to trade tensions, but more recent numbers, like industrial orders and a key sentiment reading from Germany, have challenged this view. Still, investors continue to bet on a modest upturn on the premise that a recent EU trade deal with the U.S. provides much needed certainty and Germany's plans to sharply boost budget spending will support growth. This is why financial investors think the ECB may be done cutting interest rates and policymakers will sit out a temporary dip in inflation below the 2% target, as price pressures over the medium term are already building up. Growth is unlikely to take off, however, and the euro zone is facing modest expansion of only around 1% a year in the coming years, trailing other major economies, given structural inefficiencies. Compared to a year earlier, second quarter economic growth was 1.4%, a figure that is boosted by a one-off demand surge before U.S. tariffs took effect. This figure is now seen slowing steadily before picking up in 2026. The monthly industrial fall was driven by a 2.3% drop in Germany and an 11.3% fall in Ireland, a figure that is unlikely to concern many, since Irish data is exceptionally volatile due to activity among big multinational companies, mostly in pharmaceuticals, based there for tax purposes. Industry figures showed that besides energy production, every sector took a dip last month, led by a 4.7% fall in non-durable consumer goods and a 2.2% fall in capital goods production.
