Note from the editor

 
After a restful long weekend, we're back with the latest retail news — and also some bragging rights.

On Friday, April 8, Retail Dive was recognized by the American Society of Business Publication Editors with two awards in the Mid-Atlantic region. Senior Reporter Ben Unglesbee's story on the turnaround at Best Buy, and how operational changes could be jeopardizing that, was honored with a bronze award for impact and investigative journalism. Our feature about Reebok's one-time standing as the No. 1 athletic brand was honored with a gold award for company profile.

We've included both of our award-winning stories below. We hope you enjoy reading (or re-reading) them as much as we enjoyed writing them.

Cheers,

Cara Salpini
