Yes, it's come to this. "Join our residents in being among the first to receive the Coronavirus vaccine when you or a loved one moved into our community."

Sticker on Palm Beach Post newspaper today.

Christmas in September?

Walmart announced top toys for Christmas.

Retailers are getting a heard start, as consumers anticipate delays, out of stocks, and worse.

That means shopping early, and shopping online (50% of toy purchases will be online).

No touching.

Or that's what shoppers seem to want at check-out today.

Walgreens steps up in clinics

Walgreens is investing $1B in VillageMD, to open between 500 – 700 clinics in Walgreens stores over the next five years.

The drug channel is placing a big bet on healthcare services. Something Amazon does NOT (yet) have.

Frozen foods used to be in a continued state of slow decline. Today, the category is thriving, offering convenience and a whole new level of better for you, on-trend foods.

“Digital only brands are overrated”

So says the founder of Bonobos. A one-time digitally native brand.

Digital only won’t work. Neither will brick & mortar only work. Retail today must provide in-person experience, and touchscreen convenience, both. https://t.co/98DvWXJf1L
