🚫🛍️In Non-Retail related news, HBC has acquired Neiman Marcus. Ok.. possibly 0.01% Retail Related. This was the 🔥 topic of the latest RCA Retail Therapy Session brilliantly hosted by our industry therapist Andrew Smith. 🛋️ Oh.. I had a lot to say on this.. using choice words and even censoring myself on mute not to further offend any sensitive ears (and give Fritz Finlay that much more editing work). 🔇 First time sharing a🎙️with Neil Saunders who (as expected) brought the relevant data and insights plus dear friend Brandon Rael with wise words to counterbalance some of my explicits 🤬. This deal is potentially one foot in the grave 🪦 for the company that played a big role in the creation of my nation 🇨🇦 and the longest running corporation in the Americas (354 years). Exhibit A: Rebranding this HBC acquisition as "Saks Global", yet the only non US operation (the actual HBC) is carved out of the deal ⁉️🌎 The most fascinating part of this deal is the speculation about the roles Amazon and Salesforce can play (even though IMO this is still 99.99% a Real Estate deal). 🛜 One potential upside 🌞? Carving out the Canadian Assets could open the door to new ownership more focused on reinvesting in Hudson Bay's success. 📈
