They put themselves in this position, too bad.

And by the way, any place that wants to be a “fun” place to shop is 💯 doing this for the money. Don’t fall for it. Shopping, collecting more stuff…none of it leads to long term happiness.
#target #retail #cpg

Hot take: half the brands in this hall won't exist in 3 years.
Not because the product is bad. The product is often great.
Because the operations aren't built to scale. And by the time they figure that out, the window is closing.
Good product is table stakes. Infrastructure wins.

"Clean label" is on every booth this week. But what does clean actually mean when you look at the supply chain behind it? Who grew the ingredient? How far did it travel? Clean label is a marketing position. Clean supply chain is a different conversation.
#ExpoWest2026 #CPG #SupplyChain

The conversation I keep having: brands that have cracked the product haven't cracked the supply chain. It's the natural order. You build what gets you to market, then you build what keeps you there. The question is knowing when to make that shift.
#ExpoWest2026 #SupplyChain #CPG

Three hours on the floor and the pattern is already familiar. Brands that have solved the product haven't solved what comes after — the infrastructure, retailer demands, operational complexity. That's the gap. And it's almost always the last thing founders build for.
