The Safeway supermarket that has operated on North Carson Street since 1973 will be closing on Nov. 23, according to notice sent out by the company today.

The notice reads:

This morning, we informed our employees of our intent to close this store permanently effective November 23rd.

We have approximately 50 employees (full and part-time). All will be offered positions - at our Reno, Fallon or Lake Tahoe stores, should they so desire to transfer.

We've operated this store in Carson City since 1973 and we have truly appreciated the support of the community.

This weekend saw two more tragedies for the motorsports world with Nevada connections.

Most people have already heard about or seen the video replays of the horrific IndyCar crash in Las Vegas on Sunday that claimed the life of two-time Indy 500 champion Dan Wheldon.

The same day, off-road racer Rick Huseman was killed in a plane crash in California after taking off from North Las Vegas.

Two trends could make Halloween a treat for Nevada retailers this year.

The National Retail Federation (“NRF”) estimates 68.6 percent of Americans 18 years and older will celebrate Halloween this year, the most in the NRF’s survey history.  Additionally, those celebrating are expected to spend approximately $72.31 on decorations, costumes, candy and other holiday items, up $6.03 from the $66.28 reported last year.
Assuming national trends aren’t playing tricks on Nevada, 1.4 million residents 18 years and older will spend money on the spooky holiday this year. If each Nevadan celebrating the holiday spends the expected average of $72.31, total spending in the state will reach $99 million.
The current year estimate represents an increase of 17.3 percent compared to last year when an estimated 63.8 percent of the population celebrated the holiday, spending $66.28 on average.
