Retail Focus 2/9/20 – Boot Barn’s Continued Success; the Learning Curve for CBD & Retail

We begin with a rare deep dive on the latest from Boot Barn, as they ride their loyal customers to continued sales growth but are endeavoring to draw new customers through exclusive clothing lines. From there, it is on to Natural Grocers, Earth Wise, and pleasant numbers from Simon that show retailers in their malls may be busier than previously thought. Our interview guest is Colby McKenzie, Principal at Enlighten Wellness (enlightenwellness.io), who discusses the retailer and consumer education surrounding the introduction of CBD and alternative wellness products to stores.
