  • If U.S. consumers really need a new, smaller incarnation of a Bed Bath & Beyond store (Source)
  • BuyBuy Baby shuttering all its stores and whether going it alone via online is a good long-term solution (Source)
  • And closed with an examination of why in the world Chick-fil-A would launch a new entertainment app (Source)
