In this episode of the Remarkable Retail podcast, hosts Michael LeBlanc and Steve Dennis begin with a news segment covering recent market developments, notably the "tariff turmoil" between the US and China. They discuss how the US has partially de-escalated its stance, with tariffs dropping from a proposed 145% to 30%, creating a 90-day window for retailers to import products. However, they emphasize that smaller retailers remain disproportionately affected due to limited resources compared to giants like Home Depot.The hosts also cover recent retail earnings reports, including Walmart's strong comp store sales growth despite withdrawing Q2 guidance, and their strategic pricing approach to tariff impacts. Other earnings news included On Running's impressive 40% sales growth, while American Eagle, JC Penney, and Burberry reported significant losses. Additional news touched on refinancing challenges at Kohl's, potential bankruptcy concerns at Saks, and Dick's Sporting Goods' surprising acquisition of Foot Locker.The featured interview with Stephen Yalof, CEO and President of Tanger, explores his extensive career spanning retail real estate, including roles at New Plan Realty Trust, Gap, Ralph Lauren, and Simon before joining Tanger in 2020 – humorously noting he arrived when "every one of their 3,000 stores was closed" due to COVID.Yalof provides a fascinating historical perspective on outlet centers, explaining how they evolved from manufacturers' sales of returned items and factory seconds to a strategic retail channel. He details how the Tanger family themselves were shirt manufacturers who realized they were "selling more stuff out the back door than out the front door" before creating the first outlet center in Burlington, North Carolina.The conversation explores how vertical retailers like Gap transformed the model, creating consolidation stores for excess inventory before establishing dedicated outlet locations. This evolution progressed from pure excess inventory management to serving aspirational customers who understand brands but can't afford full price – what Yalof describes as bringing customers "into your ecosystem."In response to competition from online and fast-fashion retailers, Yalof explains Tanger's strategy shift from purely "power shopping" to full-service experiences with improved food, entertainment, and amenities. He compares this to how stadiums have evolved despite at-home viewing advances, stating, "We're the general merchandise managers of our shopping centers... it's about picking the right uses, right experiences, the right amenities."The interview concludes with insights into Tanger's digital engagement strategies, including how they leverage customer data to create targeted marketing campaigns and provide stackable discounts through retailer partnerships, guided by their vision of "using customer insight to inform the future of shopping."

In this episode of the Know Your Why Podcast, Dr. Jason Balara sits down with Chris A. Williams, a driven real estate entrepreneur whose journey from Foot Locker sales associate to top-performing real estate investor is nothing short of inspiring. Chris opens up about the obstacles he faced during his first year in real estate, including only closing two deals, and how grit, mentorship, and relentless action helped him transform his career. He shares how taking a six-month pause after early success gave him the clarity to define his deeper purpose. Chris emphasizes the importance of mindset, having a clear 'why,' and surrounding yourself with mentors who have walked the path to success. His mission now is to expand his business nationwide and inspire others to take control of their financial futures through real estate entrepreneurship.Key Highlights:- Chris entered real estate with no prior experience and faced a tough first year, selling just two homes.- Transitioning from retail sales to real estate taught him the importance of discipline and belief.- A six-month break after early wins helped Chris realign with his purpose and long-term vision.- He credits mentorship and modeling successful behavior as key ingredients in his growth.- Chris favors long-term buy-and-hold investments for wealth building over short-term flips.Chris A. Williams' story is a powerful reminder that success in real estate and life doesn't come from a perfect start, but from persistence, clarity, and surrounding yourself with the right people. His journey showcases the importance of knowing your ‘why,' taking bold action, and building a vision that goes beyond money and transactions.Get in touch with Chris:Website: https://www.iamchrisawilliams.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@iamchrisawilliamsIG: https://www.instagram.com/iamchrisawilliams/FB: https://www.facebook.com/chrisawilliams.realestate/LI: https://www.linkedin.com/in/iamchrisawilliams/If you want to know more about Dr. Jason Balara and the Know your Why Podcast:https://linktr.ee/jasonbalara Audio Track:Back To The Wood by Audionautix is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 license. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/Artist: http://audionautix.com/
Likefolio's Megan Brantley breaks down their data for Dick's Sporting Goods (DKS), which announced the acquisition of Foot Locker (FL) yesterday. She notes a double-digit dip in year-over-year visits, vs Foot Locker beginning to outperform. “I'm not certain there's a ton of overlap” in DKS and FL customers, she argues, so the deal is expanding their total client pool.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

Opsporing verzocht. Apple wordt aangevallen door iemand uit eigen land. Hij draagt vaak een rood petje, gebruikt een bronzer en heeft een lange stropdas. Je hoort het goed: president Trump heeft de aanval geopend op Apple.Hij is helemaal klaar met Tim Cook, laat 'ie weten. Die is productie van China naar India aan het verplaatsen. iPhones moeten voortaan in India gemaakt worden, om zo Trumps heffingen te ontlopen. Tot woede van Trump, die wil juist dat de telefoons in Amerika worden gemaakt.Apple zit door de ruzie in een onmogelijke positie. Of het blijft in China en betaalt zich scheel aan heffingen. Of Apple gaat voor India, maar dan heeft het ruzie met Trump. Gaat het naar de VS, dan heeft Apple ruzie met klanten. Want die moeten dan honderden dollars meer betalen... Deze aflevering proberen we Cook (en jou als Apple-belegger) op weg te helpen met dat vraagstuk. Praten we ook over Netflix. Dat heeft juist een luxeprobleem. Het gaat ten onder aan zijn eigen succes!Ook hebben we het over het vertrek van Hein Schumacher bij Unilever. Die ging (totaal onverwachts) ineens via de achterdeur weg. We weten nu de reden.Verder hebben we het over de cijfers van Alibaba, die belangrijker zijn dan ooit. Die van Walmart, belangrijker dan ooit. En we vertellen je welke autobouwer het gigantisch goed doet. Je hoort het goed: een autobouwer, die het in deze tijd goed doet.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Die Aktie von Foot Locker steht im Rampenlicht, denn sie explodiert um über 82 %, nachdem das Unternehmen eine Fusion mit Dick's Sporting Goods im Volumen von 2,4 Milliarden US-Dollar angekündigt hat. Der Markt wartet gespannt auf Konjunkturdaten. Erzeugerpreise stehen dabei im Fokus. Die Aktienfutures geben am Donnerstagmorgen nach – trotz eines positiven Wochenverlaufs, der vom vorübergehenden Zollfrieden zwischen den USA und China geprägt war. Weniger erfreulich: United Health verliert 6 %, nachdem das Wall Street Journal von Ermittlungen des US-Justizministeriums berichtet. Laut CNBC wurde der Konzern bislang nicht offiziell informiert.

In the latest episode of The Voice of Retail, host Michael LeBlanc sits down with Phil Wahba, Senior Writer at Fortune, to explore the ever-evolving landscape of retail leadership, consumer behavior, and strategic transformations. Wahba reflects on more than a decade covering retail bankruptcies, leadership shifts, and innovation, highlighting that while consumer desires have remained relatively stable—good value, seamless experiences, and quality products—retailers often struggle to meet these expectations consistently.Wahba shares insights into how some of the biggest names in retail excel by focusing on core strengths. He points to Costco and Walmart as prime examples of companies that continue to thrive by relentlessly pursuing operational efficiency, value pricing, and consistent store execution. In contrast, many department stores have downsized or disappeared because, as Wahba puts it, they “chased the wrong rabbits”—pursuing short-term gains over long-term brand definition. Dillard's stands out by maintaining steady store counts and focusing on a solid merchandising strategy, proving that success hinges on knowing your customer and offering them a clear reason to shop.The conversation then shifts to Hudson's Bay and its recent struggles, which Wahba attributes to a lack of focus on fundamental retail principles and a greater emphasis on real estate extraction. He also touches on the broader implications of retail real estate vacancies, noting that large anchor-store spaces often require creative repurposing—whether converted into smaller retail footprints, medical clinics, or mixed-use developments.Looking ahead, Wahba anticipates a future where technology plays a more backstage role, with the spotlight on operational improvements such as inventory management, demand forecasting, and smoother omnichannel experiences. Shoppers do not seek flashy tech for its own sake; rather, they want frictionless pathways to purchase. The episode also explores how retailers like Foot Locker and Gap might engineer turnarounds under new leadership, taking cues from successful transformations at brands like Abercrombie & Fitch.Wahba underscores that retail “winners” will be those that evolve with shifting consumer expectations while staying true to foundational principles: consistently fair pricing, well-curated inventory, and reliable customer service. The conversation wraps up with a look at up-and-coming brands and international retailers—including Uniqlo—that could make bigger U.S. expansions in the coming years if they adapt carefully to the market's nuances.Whether you're watching for the next big turnaround or seeking to understand why some iconic names falter, this episode offers deep insights into the interplay of leadership, strategy, and consumer loyalty—critical elements shaping the future of modern retail.
