The cost to the bank has been "significant," an executive said. The news comes after thousands of Schnucks customers had their credit and debit cards compromised due to a security breach.
Customers of Commerce Bank should keep an eye on the mail. You're likely getting new debit cards, even if you didn't ask for one. Clayton-based Commerce Bancshares confirms that customers throughout the region are getting new cards as a precaution following a security breach at Schnucks grocery stores around the area that compromised customer financial data. Carl Bradbury, Commerce's Director of Consumer Products, wouldn't identify Schnucks by name in an interview Thursday but did acknowledge "a large event" where cards were considered compromised, prompting the move. The decision to re-issue does not mean that a customer's card was necessarily compromised, but that it was used during a time period where others were. Bradbury also said …
The family-owned business is under contract for sale to new owners, who told a Eureka alderman that they hope to re-open sometime in June.
After months of uncertainty, the fate of country club at the Legends is looking more secure with news that the currently shuttered business is under contract for sale to new owners. Eureka Alderman Don Beckerle lives in the Legends and informed the city’s board of aldermen about the pending sale at a meeting Tuesday night. According to Beckerle, the new owners are a joint venture among three partners that have a background in the golf business. “We are excited that they have come to an agreement,” he said. The 27-hole golf course and country club closed in February after its owner Carmelo Natoli died last November. It’s still possible that the deal could fall through, but if all goes well, Beckerle said it could re-open sometime in June. …

People peacefully gathered and marched in front of a Ferguson McDonald's Restaurant today. You could hear the group of about 100 chanting during the strike," We started from the bottom and now we're here; $7.35 just ain't fair."

Florissant, stood outside in plain clothes around 3:45 p.m., and protested for respect through better pay and improved working conditions. Shannon Garth-Rhodes, spokesperson with…
