The daughter of entrepreneurs and engineers, Rachel Elias Wein worked her way from her first job at E&amp;Y to become founder and CEO of her own business, Wein Plus. Rachel developed Wein Plus to fill a void she saw early in her career, providing strategic consulting for real estate developers and retail owner-operators. Rachel helps national retailers like Kroger and Publix develop and implement strategies for their future physical footprints, and she has helped to make Publix one of the largest shopping center owners in the country. You’ll get the full story on that, Rachel’s entire career story, and where she thinks the future of the retail and real estate industries are headed, all in this latest edition of the Women's Retail Collective Podcast with Anne Mezzenga.

The Women's Retail Collective Podcast: Wein Plus CEO and Founder Rachel Elias Wein

Imagine having to opt out of your grocery store automatically shipping you items you regularly purchase. Where they learn your buying habits so well that you actually have to opt out of delivery, not opt in. That’s where Rachel Elias Wein, Founder and President of WeinPlus, sees the grocery sector heading. Online and offline spaces were previously very segregated as separate business units, so these retailers weren’t able to capture the full picture. Now, when you purchase something in stores, that sale is registered online and in the store to increase the power of the MSA. The separate business units are now inextricably linked. That’s why you see a new store opening increase online sales. And when you close a store, the online sales decrease dramatically. Rachel finds this evolution now shifting to the grocery sector. Apparel evolved their online and offline presence at a time when the world was still getting comfortable with the idea of buying online. Now that there is widespread comfort, the grocery sector is finding its place. While many homes may still prefer to pick out the perfect strawberries on their own, Rachel sees habits quickly changing.
