  2. TGI Fridays unveils its "1-2-3 Strategic Vision" targeting $2 billion in revenue and 1,000+ restaurants by 2030, just months after emerging from Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
  3. J.C. Penney posts a 3.8% sales decline and widening losses, but shows promising signs with improved traffic, loyalty growth, and celebrity partnerships gaining traction.
