(This is the part that gets the opens.)\n[ your take… ]\n———\nHere is a real one you can run this week 👇\nSporting-goods company Salomon is executing a methodical US retail expansion, targeting doubled store count by 2028, per Modern Retail.\nHere's the cool part — the lever almost everyone misses (and you don't have to): expand retail methodically, not all at once. Pick a tier-two city where you have existing DTC velocity or distribution. Open one store, run it for two quarters, capture the operational playbook, train the team, measure foot traffic and attach rate. Then replicate to the next city. This prevents the over-expansion trap where brands open 100 stores and collapse operations. The move: open your next store in a market you already ship to frequently.\nWhat that means for you: The city-by-city approach is boring but durable. Most brands try to scale retail like they scale digital—spray and pray. Salomon is saying: we own one market at a time, we dial in the experience, we let customers know we are serious about that city, then we move. This works because retail is local. You cannot run a flagship in Denver the same way you run one in Austin.\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 — Modern Retail: https://www.modernretail.co/operations/brands-briefing-salomon-is-working-to-double-its-us-store-count-by-2028/?utm_campaign=modernretaildis&utm_medium=rss&utm_source=general-rss.)\n———\nOr — want it built FOR you?
