Amanda Penke on LinkedIn: I’m so excited to see 21446 grow! I want to thank everyone that helped… (2024)

What a great year for NewStore. During the craziness of a year - it is often difficult to step back and appreciate all that we have accomplished - and we accomplished quite a bit - as people, teams and a company.#newstore#retailinnovation #whatacoolcompany

Considering 90% of my Halloween decorations (and I take Halloween and Holiday decor SERIOUSLY) are from At Home, I'm excited to post this one! I've been shopping with At Home for many years, and I'm so proud Manhattan Associates is part of their evolution! For At Home Group Inc. like many other retailers, the pandemic fueled a sharp increase in new fulfillment methods like curbside pickup and BOPIS. To meet customer needs without overburdening store associates, the company needed a best-in-class technology that could grow with the organization. After thoroughly evaluating several major players in the market, At Home selected Manhattan Active® Omni.Download the case study to find out more:https://lnkd.in/gXu5BRtr#retailtechnology #pointofsale #inventory #retailing #retailstores #retailinnovation #bopis #curbsidepickup

This article comes out on the heels of a post I made yesterday. Not directly related- but outside of the ever evolving retail landscape and the move to shop online as Matt Garfield stated, department stores such as Macy's have been known to offer a vast amount of categories and sku's and a more than confusing promo pricing strategy. This almost always leads to an overwhelming shopping experience for the customer- especially if you are trying to attract a digitally savvy consumer as a way to evolve. More consumers are choosing quality over quantity and brands and companies that are experts in their specific niche. That niche💡, however, could be anything as long as its claimed, proven, and executed with excellence. ➡️ From a product category, to specific manufacturing processes, to their in store experiences, all the way to offering amazing value at the right time at the right prices ** 😉 aka off price. Cheering Tony Spring and the Macy's team on as they build their bold new chapter. Amy Pocsik Brenda M. Salamone Sally Marrer Meghan Houle, ACC#retailstrategy #retailinnovation

I have learned a few little tricks during my 40 years of site selecting for Convenience Stores. This was an interesting observation that can be appartant to anyone on the ground looking for properties.How many times have you heard another person say” this is the best WalMart in the state” or “ this Walmart does 150 million a year.”A simple way for the site selector to determine how busy a Walmart is:People try to park as close to the front door as possible. Look at the oil stains in the parking stalls and see how far they extend beyond the front door. The heavier the stains are and the farther out the stains extend the busier the WalMart. As you look at more and more Walmarts you will be able to make your own judgements of just how busy the store actually is using this method. When you see heavily stained areas far away from the front door you know it is a busy store. It is not a number, but it is a free gauge.This also applies to any store with a large parking lot. #conveniencestores #parkinglots #siteselection #walmart
