(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nLes Deux reported 13% YoY revenue growth in 2025 while expanding physical stores and wholesale. Bylt announced 7 new stores plus a Bloomingdale's partnership. Solbari launched U.S. wholesale with a new Head of Sales, per WWD, Retail TouchPoints, and Yahoo Finance.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): at $1M+ annual revenue, open a single flagship store in your core city. Run it for 6 months. Measure foot-traffic, repeat-customer rate, and AOV. Use that data in a wholesale pitch to a regional retailer. Lead with the store; it proves you understand in-person sales. Wholesale does the scaling.\nWhat that means for you: at $1M+ annual revenue, open a single flagship store in your core city. Run it for 6 months. Measure foot-traffic, repeat-customer rate, and AOV. Use that data in a wholesale pitch to a regional retailer. Lead with the store; it proves you understand in-person sales. Wholesale does the scaling.\nIf you make, sell, or gift anything with your name on it — this is yours to run. You can do this.\n(Real, not theory — WWD / Retail TouchPoints / Yahoo Finance: https://wwd.com/business-news/financial/les-deux-2025-growth-retail-expansion-wholesale-focus-1238924745/.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you? Your logo, your products, your own private room, priced and ready, in about five minutes. That's literally what we do →\nhttps://www.pops4.com/vip?utm_source=substack&utm_medium=newsletter&utm_campaign=stash",
