Lun Tsuei joined the organization as the Director of Research & Development. Leveraging his PH.D. from University of California, Berkeley and his MBA from the University of Texas, Lun is versed in lean manufacturing and disciplined in the R&D process. James Costanza will work with Tsuei to share his knowledge and expertise in the industry to ready him for success to innovate new, sustainable products. James has contributed several patents and innovations while at KPS Global and remains involved in the organization as a valuable asset.

Jason Edevold also joined KPS Global as Vice President of Sales. Jason will succeed John Guerrieri who will retire later this year. John has been with KPS Global since 2018 but has 40 years of experience in the Refrigeration Equipment and Retail Store Fixture industry. Before joining KPS Global, Jason served as the Vice President of Sales for Chain Accounts, at Post Consumer Brands.

Also joining the organization is Tom Herberg who has worked in manufacturing for 28 years in various capacities and has also been a Lean Practitioner for 22 years. Tom is joining KPS Global as Vice President of Operations replacing Steve Pearson. Steve has been a valued member of the KPS Global organization and known to many in the industry and while officially retiring in February, he continues to support the organization including Tom’s onboarding process to ensure a smooth transition.

“We’re excited to have these talented individuals on our team. They provide a seamless evolution of key senior leadership roles in the organization.

Deloitte: Holiday e-commerce to reach up to $319B in 2026–27

Deloitte: Holiday e-commerce to reach up to $319B in 2026–27

Deloitte forecasts U.S. holiday e-commerce of $316.1 billion to $318.9 billion for November 2026 through January 2027, up 7.5% to 8.4%. Total retail is projected to grow 4% to 4.8% to about $1.7 trillion. The faster online growth rate is a planning input for fulfillment staffing and site readiness.

  • 01Last season's total holiday sales grew 4.1% by Census Bureau count, above the 2.9% to 3.4% range Deloitte had forecast in fall 2025.
  • 02Deloitte's 2025 survey found 33% of U.S. consumers expected to use generative AI somewhere in their holiday shopping; product data quality now matters for machine readers as well as human ones.
  • 03Adobe's and Salesforce's holiday projections landed in late September and October last year, so the next two to six weeks should bring corroborating or conflicting numbers to plan against.

Club stores drove nearly half of the growth in $330B U.S. store-brand sales

Club stores drove nearly half of the growth in $330B U.S. store-brand sales

Circana reports U.S. private-label sales reached $330 billion, with store brands holding 24% unit share and 23% dollar share of CPG. Club stores drove nearly half of the growth. Circana expects share gains to continue through 2026 at a slower pace as national brands sharpen pricing and innovation.

  • 01Club channels account for nearly half of all U.S. private-brand growth, so a store-brand program benchmarked only against supermarket peers is missing where the volume is actually moving.
  • 02A one-point gap between store-brand unit share (24%) and dollar share (23%) suggests private label is no longer priced far below the market average, which changes the margin math for premium-tier extensions.
  • 03The EU's 50% private-label unit share is more than double the U.S. figure, a reference point for how much headroom exists even as Circana expects the U.S. pace to moderate through 2026.

Meta is nearly doubling its Meta Lab stores for Ray-Ban AI glasses

Meta is nearly doubling its Meta Lab stores for Ray-Ban AI glasses

Meta is nearly doubling the store footprint of Meta Lab, its retail concept for Ray-Ban AI glasses, according to Modern Retail. In November 2025, The Wall Street Journal reported on pop-up stores in Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Burlingame and New York City. The stores are built for lingering and selfies. That design brief matters for any brand selling a wearable people must try on.

  • 01Meta designed its Meta Lab pop-ups around dwell time and photo-taking, with coffee stations and full-length mirrors; its creative director told The Wall Street Journal the company wants visitors to bring friends and stay a while rather than move through quickly.
  • 02For brands launching a wearable that shoppers need to see on their own face, Meta's decision to expand physical stores rather than rely solely on online channels is a real-world reference point for the try-on problem.
  • 03The signal to watch is whether the new Meta Lab locations keep the pop-up format the Journal described or shift toward longer-term leases.
