It remains way behind — as in waaaaay behind — Amazon but it’s growing faster than its competitor.

  1. Hey Warren,

    It’s been way too long and I want to tell you that your commentary and opinions over the past year have been even more spot on than usual. Always a fun and informative read!

    Hoping that you’ll be in Chicago for the show and we can catch-up. I’ll be in the Equity Brands booth – Lakeside 11918.

    Best regards, Jim
