(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nBusiness Insider reported that more than 1,000 new retail stores are set to open across the US in 2026, indicating continued growth in physical retail despite ecommerce dominance.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): if you have a product with consistent sell-through (repeat orders, strong reviews, high AOV), now is the window to pitch small regional chains and emerging concepts. Do not pitch the 1,000 Targets opening in 2026 — pitch the 50 independent or regional retailers who are opening new locations in your category. These retailers are under time pressure to fill square footage. A sales deck with three months of Amazon data, a customer review highlight reel, and a wholesale price sheet will move faster now than ever.\nWhat that means for you: Market expansion creates opportunity for smaller brands because big brands are fighting over the premium doors — the flagships, the Malls of America, the high-traffic locations. Small operators should hunt the regional openings and emerging concepts. If a new retail concept is opening 20 stores in 2026 and you can show them proof of customer demand, you can negotiate a wholesale test in 5-10 of those doors without a ton of friction.\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 — Business Insider: https://news.google.com/rss/articles/CBMigAFBVV95cUxOaVo3ZnJfNjlPSFpNY2pkUDJZOWFZQUNQNlJpaHRyeVY4QW5ORGdUdzBiOHQ1TFE3aDBoNGwyS0pRUDJuaFFvNWhxYW9uMjBDZE.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
