QUOTES:

“I think it might be one of the trends that we think might actually stick around, because people have realized “I can do this stuff,” and they’re making choices differently as a result of that.”

“When I think about how some retailers that are really small have now started to do things like delivery on their own without a third-party service, I just think that’s so interesting.”

“I think we’re going to keep expecting this pace of innovation.”
