It's been a busy and well-publicized year for Axios, which has made a ton of headlines given the newsletter publisher — known for its trademarked “Smart Brevity” style — is only five years old. In December 2020, the company acquired the Charlotte Agenda to get its local news arm into gear. In February, Axios launched its new software-as-a-service business, Axios HQ, which made over $1.5 million in under a year. And in the spring and summer of this year, rumors circulated the media space about whether Axios would merge with The Athletic or be acquired by Axel Springer. Those rumblings have since quieted down and Axios's president and co-founder Roy Schwartz said that “It's too early at this point to sell the business or to merge it with something that would be larger than we are.” But either thanks to or in spite of the headlines, Axios is set to hit $86 million in revenue this year, replicating the 40% year-over-year growth the company saw in the year prior — all while maintaining profitability for three years running.
The Coronavirus Pandemic accelerated growth in Charlotte and made businesses either adapt or shutter their doors. Today we're joined by Katie Peralta Soloff, Reporter for Axios Charlotte. Axios Charlotte, formerly Charlotte Agenda, is a modern local news organization that exists to make Charlotte smarter and better connected. Listen along as we talk through the ever changing retail landscape, what the closing of legacy staples means for the Identity of Charlotte, and as we discuss what's next for the city.

Scott is one of the co-founders of 704 Shop, and you've been living under a rock if you're a Charlotte resident and aren't familiar with their products, Their iconic "704" ambigram logo is everywhere these days, and their limited-run merchandise around the Panthers' 2015-16 Super Bowl run really put them on the map.

We recorded this episode several weeks ago, and while we tried to pry it out of them then, Scott and Shannon managed to keep the news of the coming-soon, real-life, brick-and-mortar 704 Shop in South End under wraps. Fortunately for us, the official news dropped in Charlotte Agenda just before we pushed this episode live!
