  • Lock retail leases and hire regional store managers in the four target metros
  • Push omni-channel tech (try-at-home, virtual try-on, BOPIS) to justify premium positioning
  • Signal certification/quality messaging to counter LGD commoditization narrative
  • Line up marketing spend around festive/wedding season to seed store traffic
