Wayfair continues their slow migration into the "brick and mortar" world.For many DTC retailers, turning the corner to profitability is often a long, slow and expensive process.It's a natural strategic move for Wayfair to grow their brand and provide a better solution for the company to deal with their expensive product returns issues.I expect more announcements in the near future by Wayfair and other DTC companies opening "brick and mortar" storefronts as they navigate the treacherous waters of retail.#retail #retailnews #retailtrends #retailstrategy #cre #dtc #dtcbrands #dtcstrategy #furniture #wayfairhttps://lnkd.in/evXfjeib

Acquiring numerous stores all at once could overwhelm your current process for retail fixtures, furniture, and equipment (FF&E).That’s why you may want to consider the approach that Tractor Supply Company is taking. The leading rural lifestyle retailer recently acquired more than 80 stores. But instead of relying on vendor-direct, just-in-time deliveries of FF&E, they’re opting for a different approach.Find out what that is and, more importantly, learn WHY it’s a better option for getting FF&E into your newly acquired store sites. https://ow.ly/mnWP50Qf2Nk
