Express Checkout issue #1

A lot happens in a week

I hope everyone had an amazing Thanksgiving!! 🦃

It's amazing how much happens in a given week. New stores open, new brands launch, earnings are reported, raises are announced, maybe the Suez Canal gets blocked yet again...

As someone who tries to keep up to date on everything in the consumer world, I know how difficult it can be. So I started curating lists of news and updates in weekly Twitter threads. Quickly I saw that there's too much news and too much I want to say about it to fit in a nice neat thread....so newsletter it is! 🎊

I'm excited to introduce you to Express Checkout (shout out to Scott Howard for coming up with the name), a newsletter where you can find all the big and small interesting and important things happening across commerce. Encompassing everything from new brand launches, supply chain news, retail news, mergers, raises, a new SKU launch, and everything else from the interconnected world of making, selling, and using consumer products.

Now let's get to the news...
