The Robin Report is proud to announce the winners of the 2024 Crave Retail Radicals Awards. We established this program in 2019 to recognize transformative thinking in the retail industry. For the past six years, we have identified radical thinkers and doers (innovators and entrepreneurial leaders) driving major transformations within their respective retail brands. We select five brands each year, and our past winners have been game-changing legacy retailers and DTC marketplace disrupters. The awards are research-based with quantitative financial analysis and qualitative leadership guidance of outperformance in their industry sectors, measured through systematic metrics.
Radical Thinking
We congratulate this year’s winners for their foresight, innovation, and unconventional thinking in driving their brands and the industry at large forward to exceed customers’ expectations. We recognize that all strategic initiatives require enlightened leadership, major capital commitment, dedicated resources, innovative action, and extreme focus matched with a high level of financial discipline to achieve success in terms of revenue growth and profitability.
Matthew Cyr, Co-Founder and CEO of Crave Retail states, “Congratulations to the five leaders named as this year’s Retail Radicals! It’s inspiring to see visionaries with the courage to push boundaries and rethink what retail can be. When they raise the bar, we all move forward together. Their work is a testament to the power of creating meaningful change in our industry.”
