The Cost of a Mistake: Why Scrappy Retail Expansion Can Be a Costly Gamble
Retail expansion isn’t just about making the right moves—it’s about avoiding the wrong ones. In this episode, we break down why the “figure it out as we go” approach can be a costly mistake for DTC brands opening stores. From mismanaged lease negotiations to timeline delays and vendor missteps, we quantify the true price of scrappiness—often upwards of $50,000 per store in just the first year.
