- "SuperTarget planned for Woodbury now on hold," Finance and Commerce, July 20, 2009. "As retailers like Target have scaled back their expansion plans, they’ve become more selective of which deals they pursue and started to seek more concessions from developers, said Dave Brennan, co-director of the Institute for Retailing Excellence at the University of St. Thomas. Similarly, many existing tenants are pushing landlords for rent reductions. 'It’s a sign of the times,' Brennan said. 'The momentum has very clearly shifted away from the developers to the tenants or anchors.'" https://kansascity.bizjournals.com/kansascity/othercities/twincities/stories/2009/07/20/story1.html?b=1248062400%5E1861947&s=industry

There’s something in the minds of the managers of North Memorial saying that the union does not represent productivity,' Militello said." https://albuquerque.bizjournals.com/albuquerque/othercities/twincities/stories/2009/07/20/story2.html?b=1248062400%5E1861954&s=industry
