Grocery stores are a cornerstone of modern life. They're where we stock up on essentials and maybe even impulse-buy one too many snacks. But just because grocery shopping is a necessity doesn't mean that it has to be boring.

We've rounded up a list of one-of-a-kind grocery stores in every state that are definitely worth the detour — and the cart space.

2025 Travelers Championship Generates More Than $4 Million for Charity

HARTFORD, Conn., June 23, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The Travelers Companies, Inc. (NYSE: TRV) today announced that the 2025 Travelers Championship – a PGA TOUR Signature Event – generated more than $4 million for over 215 nonprofits, both record highs. Travelers also set a record this year as the longest-running title sponsor in the tournament's history. In the 19 years the company has been title sponsor, the Travelers Championship has generated tens of millions of dollars for charity. Alan Schnitzer, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Travelers, said, "This week truly captured what makes the Travelers Championship so special – world-class golf played before an enthusiastic crowd, all united by a shared purpose. It is a formula that led to a great week of golf and more money raised for charity than ever before. For 19 years, we have been honored to bring the PGA TOUR to Connecticut, and every year I am inspired by the passion of the players, the dedication of our fans and the incredible support from volunteers and partners who rally around our mission to give back. In addition to supporting vital charitable causes, we are proud that the tournament also generates significant economic activity for the state of Connecticut. Congratulations to our 2025 champion, Keegan Bradley, for rising to the top of one of the strongest fields in the game. We are already looking forward to making next year's tournament even more memorable." The Travelers Championship donates 100% of its net proceeds to nonprofits. This year's primary beneficiary is The Hole in the Wall Gang Camp, an organization based in Ashford, Connecticut, that provides a traditional summer camp experience for children with serious illnesses.

The 34-year-old Englishman led by three strokes with four holes to go in the Travelers Championship on Sunday and still had a one-stroke lead on No. 18 before two-putting from inside seven feet and watching Keegan Bradley steal the win. Advertisement 'I'm upset now; I'm angry,' Fleetwood said calmly. 'I would love to, you know, just go and sulk somewhere — and maybe I will — but there's just no point making it a negative for the future, really. Just take the positives and move on.' Fleetwood has seven European Tour victories and been on two winning Ryder Cup teams, scoring the clinching point at Marco Simone two years ago. He has top five finishes in in all four majors, including runner-ups in the 2018 U.S. Open and the 2019 British. But he's 0 for 84 in regular PGA Tour events, earning the unwelcome distinction of being the best player on tour without a victory. He is the only player with to earn more than $30 million on tour without a win. 'Search goes on, I guess," he said. 'When it happens, it will be very, very sweet.' Advertisement Fleetwood's previous close calls also include the 2023 Canadian Open, when he lost to Canadian Nick Taylor, and the 2019 British, when he lost to Irishman Shane Lowry at Royal Portrush in Northern Ireland. On Sunday, he lost to the U.S. Ryder Cup captain – and native New Englander – in front of a crowd chanting 'U-S-A! U-S-A!' 'If there's one guy around here that you're going to go against, obviously, Keegan's going to get the majority of support,' Fleetwood said. Fleetwood had two eagles in the span of three holes on Friday to share the second-round lead with Scottie Scheffler and Justin Thomas. The Englishman was alone atop the leaderboard heading into the final round, three strokes ahead. Advertisement He started Sunday with three bogeys on the first four holes but gained some distance with birdies on Nos. 11 and 13. He was two shots ahead when Bradley made bogey on the 14th to fall three back. (Fleetwood missed a 6-foot birdie putt on No. 14 that could have further distanced him from the field.) Fleetwood still led with one hole to go when he left his approach on No. 18 on the front fringe. He putted to seven feet, with a chance to guarantee no worse than a playoff. But the par putt took a little jump after it appeared to hit a ball mark and rolled 14 inches past the hole. Bradley, on the same line, sank a 6-footer for birdie to win it. 'Keegan made birdie, so fair play to him. But still feel like from where I was, I should at least be in a playoff,' Fleetwood said. 'So, yeah, it's a crappy way to finish.' Advertisement Bradley could sympathize. 'I know how hard it must be for him. He's just an unbelievable player, and he's fighting so hard to get his first win,' the Vermont native said after claiming his eighth tour victory and his second at the only current tournament in New England. 'It's a weird thing to be on the other side of that. I do feel bad for him, but I've got to go out and do what I need to do,' Bradley said. 'But he battled today, and I really hope that he gets his win soon.' Fleetwood was asked about the drought for the umpteenth time on Saturday night, when he had what appeared to be a comfortable three-stroke lead. He said with a laugh: 'I'm on top of a lot of stat lines for people that haven't won on the PGA Tour, so to always be a No. 1 at something is always nice." Advertisement On Sunday, the smile was gone. 'In my mind, I've won loads of PGA Tour events. I just haven't done it in reality," Fleetwood said. "I'm sure that time will come if I keep working. 'I did plenty of things well enough this week to win. I didn't do that; it hurts. I obviously played great, I put myself in a great position, I was leading the tournament for 71 holes. I just want to make sure that I can put myself in this position as soon as possible again and try and correct what I did this time.' ___ AP golf:

Keegan Bradley's Wife Jillian Bradley Fueled His Success At Travelers Championship

Keegan Bradley's Wife Jillian Bradley Fueled His Success At Travelers Championship originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Travelers Championship delivered drama till the end, with the final round setting up a tight leaderboard late on Sunday. As fans watched the action unfold at TPC River Highlands, it was a battle among the best, with Keegan Bradley in the mix. Tied with Tommy Fleetwood near the top of the standings, Bradley was chasing his second Travelers Championship title and showing once again why he remains a force on the PGA Tour. Advertisement With seven PGA Tour wins under his belt, Bradley's game continues to impress, but behind his success is a strong support system led by his wife, Jillian Bradley. The couple met in 2012 and began dating soon after. By 2015, Keegan proposed to Jillian in their home state of Vermont, and a year later, they tied the knot. 'Still coming down from the happiest weekend of my life,' Jillian wrote after their December 2016 wedding. Keegan Bradley lines up a putt on the ninth hole during the third round of the Travelers Championship golf Streicher-Imagn Images Jillian, who was born and raised in Vermont like Keegan, has always been a steady presence. A graduate of Eastern Connecticut State University, she's more than just a cheerleader. She once caddied for Keegan during the 2015 Par 3 Contest at the Masters, a moment she described as exciting and unforgettable. Keegan himself shared in the Netflix series Full Swing, 'Jillian is the real champion of our family, she holds us all together.' The couple now has two sons, Logan and Cooper, who were even handed mini trophies after Bradley's Travelers win in 2023. That moment, Keegan said, was beyond special. 'For them to be able to feel the excitement of this and be here and feel it, I can't put a price on that.' With his family by his side, Bradley continues to chase greatness, on and off the course.
