Retail Focus 1/24/18 – Live From NRF 2018: Brandless, Retail Economics, and Store Lighting

It’s a star-studded special edition of the Retail Focus Podcast, as we broadcast from various areas at NRF 2018 in New York. Tina Sharkey, CEO of Brandless, is our first guest—she discusses the launch of their direct-to-consumer platform in summer 2017. After a look at the holiday shopping numbers, we’re joined by Jack Kleinhenz, NRF Chief Economist, who talks modeling and retail projections. Finally, Charles Zimmerman, former VP of Design and Construction at Walmart, chats about their partnership with Current to implement LED lighting in 6,000 locations worldwide.
