Retail Focus 10/20/19 – Albertsons’ Continued Positive Momentum; MLB to Open NYC Store

With their latest earnings report, privately-held Albertsons appears to be trending in a positive direction. We lead our show with a deep dive and positives and negatives from their second quarter information. From there, we discuss a new report from the NRF that suggests November imports will be on the rise as a result of potential tariffs, and Major League Baseball opening a flagship store in NYC against significant headwinds. We close with a quick discussion of Five Below’s new gaming venture and Mark Tritton leaving Target to take the reins at Bed Bath & Beyond.
