When you think of Francis Ford Coppola, you probably think of The Godfather, but the filmmaker wears many hats. A short four-hour flight from NYC will get you to the little Central American country of Belize, home to a rich history rooted in traditions of a multitude of ancient cultures such as the Mayans.

But did you know that beyond the lush forests and the beautiful beaches, Belize is also home to two quaint luxury hotels owned by Coppola?

The Turtle Inn, for instance, which Coppola and his late wife Eleanor acquired in 2001, sits as a “beachside hideaway” at “the fishing village of Placencia,” according to its website, featuring multiple dining options and artistic shops. The same goes for Blancaneaux Lodge, the first property acquired by the director in the 1980s to be part of the “Family Coppola Hideaway.” Today, the Hideaways portfolio has six hotels across Belize, Guatemala, Argentina, and Italy, but one common theme links them all.

“Unlike major brand hotels that I’ve worked for in the past…that might take a more corporate way to look at a partnership…everything that the Coppolas endeavor in the art of what they do is 1,000% more important than the commerce of what they do,” Christine Gaudenzi, director of marketing and business development at the The Family Coppola Hideaways, told Retail Brew, adding that the attitude also is reflected across its multiple retail partnerships carefully selected by members of the Coppola family.

On Tuesday, Amazon announced it’s extending a new grocery delivery subscription to Prime members and customers who use EBT assistance.

The company is offering Prime members in more than 3,500 cities and towns a monthly $9.99 subscription for one-hour delivery, unlimited 30-minute order pick-up, and unlimited delivery on orders costing $35 or more from select grocers and specialty retailers.

We’re back with Retail Brew’s weekly rundown of everything you need to know in fashion. This week, the FTC has sued to block an $8.5 billion acquisition deal, and a French luxury brand may be eyeing a designer at an American fashion giant.

FTC moves to block Tapestry-Capri merger

If you’ve been following this column, you probably know all about the proposed $8.5 billion takeover of Capri Holdings by Tapestry. But in a surprising turn of events, the Federal Trade Commission has sued to block the merger, saying it would “eliminate direct head-to-head competition between Tapestry’s and Capri’s brands.” The FTC also has concerns about higher prices for US consumers, as well as lower employee wages.

Why this matters: The merger would allow Tapestry, which owns brands like Coach and Kate Spade, to acquire Capri, which owns Versace and Michael Kors, and has been in the making since August last year. If it went through, it would put Tapestry in the big leagues as far as the European luxury market goes.
