Hello and welcome to the Daily QuickWit – Saturday coffee edition. Here are the top stories we are talking about this morning…
According to a recent study, 85% of Americans want to return to the office in some capacity (full time or hybrid model). While working from home has allowed for more flexibility and potentially a better work life balance, it would seem many employees miss the face to face interaction that can only happen when teams are physically together in the same space. The pressure on companies to allow flexibility while also ensuring productivity is getting tougher, nobody seems to want to lead the charge. As we head into the fall and eventually cold/flu season, it’s going to be a wild ride for many of us.
Dollar General is looking at healthcare as a financial growth engine, turning many of their locations (especially in rural areas) into health destinations for their shoppers. With an incredible number of locations across the country (16,000+), Dollar General could provide a key service in areas where the options are limited and the growth potential here could be immense for the organization.
The new CEO of Walgreens, Roz Brewer, is installing some new faces on the executive team. The retooling continues for Walgreens as they work to stay relevant in a world where many shoppers are moving to online prescription fulfillment.
And, ending with a fun one… Hasbro teamed up with Vrbo to turn a house into a Nerf battleground. The 12 bedroom house, which will be available to rent, also serves as the location for the latest season of the “Nerf House Showdown” series on YouTube. What a fun partnership, and a perfect reason to rent a big house for a group of family or friends.
