But first we do our usual review of the week in retail news, starting with a slow down in US housing starts--which does not portend well for a rebound in home retail any time soon. We explore a promising application of generative AI at Target, before revisiting the growing strength of private label brands, news that the great acceleration in grocery is proving to be largely without merit, and wonder whether apparel is getting a boost from the popularity of GLP-1 drugs. We close with news that Netflix has two entertainment venues set to open next year.
