This Week in Retail #84

This Summer I'm Getting My Pool Toys at Olive Garden

Hey Friends,

I wanted to share an important update: Starting Today, This Week in Retail will become a paid-only newsletter.

This wasn’t an easy decision, but it’s an exciting one. I’ve loved sharing stories, insights, and curated content with you every week, and I want to continue doing that, but in a way that’s more sustainable and allows me to go deeper, bring you more original reporting, and invest more time into each edition.

Here’s what you can expect:

• Exclusive access to all weekly editions

• More in-depth stories, data insights, and interviews

• First looks at special reports and trend breakdowns

If you’ve found value in what I’ve shared so far, I’d love to have you join as a paid subscriber. PS, I’m offering a one time discount below!

Thank you for being part of this journey so far. Whether you stay on as a paid subscriber or not, I’m grateful you’ve been reading.

In today’s newsletter we will be discussing the wedding of the “King of Everything”, the rise of the “dark” store, and competition on the Prime Day front…..sometimes it pays to be first. We will also try to figure out what the hell is going on at Nike and Walgreens….
