We’re investing $1.5 billion in our new air hub to get you your packages faster. Three million square feet, and it’s going to create 2,000 jobs. And if you’re guessing that driving a front loader was fun, you’re right!

Walmart's Marc Lore says the company's in-house mattress brand Allswell should hit around $100 million in sales this year. Another growing competitor for Casper.
Just making sure everyone saw this. Amazon's Add On program is dead (for now), so what's next? My guess: A push towards in-store pick up (Whole Foods, etc.) and asks for *alotta* vendor funding.
