Note from the editor

 
Hi — remember us? It's been a minute, but after a short hiatus, Retail Dive is back to bring you the top news and trends in the industry.

If you're anything like me, you probably acquired a part-time job consuming mulled wine and baked goods over the past week — and I don't want to be the one to take you away from that. So in the spirit of a slower transition back to business as usual, let's take one final look at the year that just passed.

Over the course of a year, Retail Dive writes countless stories. We publish breaking news, we analyze earnings, and we delve deeply into topics ranging from supply chain challenges to Lululemon's impact on apparel.

Naturally, we acquire our own favorites along the way — stories that fascinate us for one reason or another. And for our first issue of 2023, we'd like to share those with you. Think of it as a personalized “if you read nothing else, read this” list.

Whether they pushed us to search for answers in unusual places, made us question what we thought we knew or sent us in directions we never thought we'd go, these stories stuck with us.

We'll be back to our usual news coverage tomorrow, but until then, we hope you find an article here that captivates you as much as it did us. And as always, thanks for reading.
