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.

Gymshark London has announced the opening of its first ever retail store in Covent Garden

The activewear brand’s first bricks-and-mortar store will be a pop-up open from 28 February to 29 March.

The store will feature Gymshark’s specialist gym clothing range, alongside in-store fitness classes.

Gymshark said in a blog post: “For four weeks, we’re bringing our URL to IRL with our very first retail-focused store. Expect to find the shop refreshed with new releases every week…  and you can bet that you’ll get the first glimpse right here at Gymshark Central.”

The store opening and entry is free, but registration is required for any of the fitness classes.

In 2018 Gymshark recorded profits of £17.6m compared with £8m in 2017, according to reports on Companies House.
