Retail Focus 3/28/21 – Alternative Wellness Product Education; H-E-B’s Northward Push; Casey’s Big Acquisition

We discuss two stories of regional importance, first with Casey’s, as they reach a deal to purchase 49 Circle K locations from Couche-Tard. From there, we discuss news of H-E-B announcing their first Dallas-area flagship stores and look ahead to Walgreens’ earnings next week. In our interview segment, we revisit a chat with Colby McKenzie, principal at Enlighten Wellness, who speaks to the process behind educating both retailers and consumers about alternative wellness and CBD products in retail stores.
