On this episode of Talking Shop I am joined by Zipline CEO and co-founder Melissa Wong. We discuss how Melissa’s 10 years’ of frontline experience informed her approach to building a SaaS company, the recurring operational frustrations that most head offices still underestimate, and why she believes technology should be designed with the store associate as the primary user. We also explore current trends in store execution and how retailers can bridge the gap between corporate strategy and the shop floor.

Fashion retailer Monsoon has opened its latest boutique store, at 290 Upper Street, Islington, N1 2XF.

It said the opening comes after the successful launch of boutique locations in Bath, Edinburgh and Cambridge over the last year.

It said it comes in line with Monsoon’s strategy to open elevated retail spaces in London’s ‘villages’ and select market towns.

The shop, which was a former pub, has a “prominent position on one of Islington’s best retail streets” and will include artisan wall hangings and framed artwork.

It is the second London opening in as many months for Monsoon, after the launch of a Monsoon Vintage pop-up on Portobello Road in early May to celebrate the brand’s 50th anniversary.

Naomi Robertson, Buying and Merchandising director at Monsoon, said: “In our 50th anniversary year, it is fun to be expanding our physical retail presence again. Our new boutique format has received a warm welcome with our recent store openings, and we’re looking forward to our new presence in Islington and serving our great North London customer base.”
