  • Gap Delivers Strong Q4 Results, Despite Tariffs and Winter Storms

    Gap Inc. delivered strong fourth-quarter results despite twin headwinds of tariffs and severe winter storms. The company reported an increase in net sales to $4.2 billion, flat store sales, but a 5% uptick in online sales (via Chain Store Age).

  • McDonald’s CEO’s Big Arch Stumble a Double-Edged Sword

    Fortune editor Rachel Ventresca described McDonald’s CEO Chris Kempczinksi’s recent viral Big Arch video as a stumble for the exec, but one which brought what leaders most crave — “more followers, more visibility, and a viral moment” (via Fortune).

  • US Jobs Market Shows Unexpected Weakness: BLS Data

    On the whole, the U.S. economy lost 92,000 jobs in February, a dire result compared to the ~50,000 jobs anticipated to be gained overall. The Bureau of Labor Statistics indicates that job growth since December has fallen far short of estimates (via Axios).

  • US Manufacturing Jobs Remain Imperiled as Losses Grow

    U.S. manufacturing jobs are being lost at a significant rate, with the sector shedding 83,000 positions during President Trump’s second-term first year of office. “This is a story that needs to be told to the American public,” Brian Bryant, international president of the International Association of Machinists (IAM), said (via CBS News).

  • Beyond Meat Nixes the ‘Meat’ Portion of Its Name

    Beyond Meat has been rebranded to Beyond The Plant Protein Co., with its name simply being represented as Beyond on packaging. “For me, it is an opportunity to reshape the company around very real food that is directly from plants,” said president and CEO Ethan Brown (via AP News).
