In recent years people have become accustomed to subscribing to everything from their favorite television shows to their weekly grocery list.

Now an iconic American brand is getting in the game as well.

Coca-Cola announced recently it is offering a limited number of consumers a taste of what’s to come in 2020. The soft-drink maker’s new Coca-Cola Insiders Club went live on Monday, offering 1,000 ‘insiders’ a six-month trial.

Subscribers will receive monthly shipments of Coca-Cola products, some of which are yet to hit the open market.

“The pilot program was inspired by the growth of the e-commerce subscription market, which has more than doubled annually over the last five years based on the popularity of meal kits and curated collections of everything from razors to pet supplies to make up,” the company wrote in a statement.

On Business Casual, hosts Tyler Kern and Geoffrey Short discuss what Coca-Cola sees in this venture and the evolution of the subscription model across different industries.

Macy's is spending its tariff refund on the store floor, not the bottom line

Macy's is spending its tariff refund on the store floor, not the bottom line

Macy's reported strong Q2 results but deployed $96 million of its $116 million tariff refund into 2026 store initiatives rather than earnings, signaling sustained commitment to labor, merchandise, and technology investments. The remodeled Reimagine 200 stores posted 1.9% comparable sales growth over five consecutive quarters, driven by payroll hours and merchandising rather than markdowns, while the wider gap between luxury banners (Bloomingdale's up 11.3%) and the mainline Macy's (up 1.1%) reflects a splitting customer base by income.

  • 01$96 million of Macy's $116 million tariff refund reinvested in 2026 initiatives signals funded capital absorption capacity for labor, fixtures, and technology vendors.
  • 02Reimagine 200 remodeled stores achieved 1.9% comparable sales growth for five consecutive quarters on 60-80 basis points payroll and merchandising premium, not markdowns.
  • 03First half capital expenditures show software spending of $171 million outpaced property and equipment at $153 million, reflecting technology prioritization over physical remodels.
