I start to think that I might have underestimated #virtualbrands and #ghostkitchens. In the US 🇺🇸, TGI Fridays is intensifying the collaboration with C3 by sbe and adding more virtual brands served by their store. They add brands like #KrispyRice, #Kumi and #StonieBowls to 140 stores and hope for $ 68mio additional revenue! I think you even might manage the quality if you are managing the virtual brand identical to your main #franchise brand. In Europe, many #virtualbrands start to fly - how do you see the potential?

A weekend in St Emillion 🇫🇷 made me realise… If you are not familiar St Emillion is a wine region just outside of Bordeaux. It has a church dating back to the 8th century, a resident population of just 100 people and over 40 wine shops! A tough market? Everyone is selling the same product, that meets the same classification (Cru, Cru Classe, & Premier Cru Classe) in the same location. Price point € The product ranges from circa €50 a bottle to €32,000 a bottle! That was the most expensive I saw. Availability… The weather in large part determines if the wine makers product is good or bad in a given year. Despite all of the points above it’s one of the top wine regions in the world and a creative market where people trade very successfully. Why? Because they have a great product, at a range of price points that is readily available. The product is supported by experienced experts in their field and people flock there not because they know they like it but because they want to try some of the best produce in the world. The similarities are there for all to see… Giacomini UK LTD - Leaders In Hydronics are the fine wine of the HVAC world 🍷😁

Why would Majestic want Vagabond? 🤔 Other than a way of winning the mother of all trade accounts Majectic's move into hospitality may come as a shock to some; but here's several reasons why I think it''s genius: - Vagabond has a younger demographic than your traditional Majestic shopper allowing them to potentially open up a new market - Both businesses are about exploring wines beyond the usual Malbec and Chardonnay so there's synergy there - Majectic's buying power will most likely bring cost savings to Vagabond - It could also entice Majestic customers to give Vagabond a go; and - if it doesn't work out the sites could always become concept stores for Majestic quite easily; although the city centre locations would mean you'd have to rely on selling by the bottle as opposed to the case I'm sure there are a myriad of other reasons but it looks like an excellent omnichannel retail play to me; and it's great to see a vote of confidence in hospitality from a major retail player. #hospitality #leisure #retail #retailproperty #commercialproperty #realestate #lawyer

#Sponsored Douglas Elliman Real Estate | If wine is “one of the most civilized things in the world,” as Ernest Hemingway had it, then having a home with a wine cellar must be one of the most civilized ways to live. For those who collect wine as a luxury asset class (see: Douglas Elliman|Knight Frank Wealth Report: Luxury Investments), a wine cellar isn’t just an amenity—it’s a necessity. Whether you already own a collection to house or you are looking to build one bottle-by-bottle, these opulent properties with cellars and tasting rooms may be the perfect pairing.

#Burger 🍔 is not as easy as it was! BurgerFi in the US 🇺🇸 is #struggeling: -13% same-store sales in 2024 (-8% in 2023) with its approx 80 outlets. They hired a #finacialAdvisor and are considering all strategic options. I know that the #competition in #Europe 🇪🇺 is also tough - so it is all about #bedifferent and find an edge of difference vs. competition.
