Alo Yoga: The yoga lifestyle brand — which sells men’s and women’s activewear, outerwear, apparel, accessories and beauty products — plans to stretch its retail footprint with both permanent stores and pop-ups. A 4,500-square unit that opened in Miami’s Design District in December as well openings in Austin, Texas; Scottsdale, Arizona; and Newport Beach, California earlier in the year brought the store count to 13. Six more stores are in the works for this year, including the company’s first non-U.S. location, in Toronto.

Amy’s Drive Thru: The family-owned, plant-based, fast-food concept plans to open 25 to 30 locations on the West Coast in the next five years. The California company operates standalone locations in California — in Rohnert Park, Corte Madera and Roseville — and a location in San Francisco International Airport. It plans stores in San Diego, Los Angeles, the Bay Area, Sacramento, Seattle and Portland, Oregon.

The Buckle: The chain’s December same-store sales climbed 17.7% year over year, and net sales increased 17.3% to $198.7 million. Strong holiday sales capped a comeback year that saw year-to-date same-store sales climb 46.7%. Net sales for 2021 climbed 46.7% to $1.2 billion. The retailer operates 445 stores in 42 states.

Gelatissimo: The Australian brand will open its first U.S. store, at Baybrook Mall in Friendswood, Texas, near Houston. The gelato purveyor sells about 50 flavors and has 65 stores in seven countries.

Lady Black Tie: The online fashion retailer will open its first brick-and mortar store — in Hudson, Massachusetts — this month. The three-year-old brand specializes in formal dresses for pageants, proms and other events.

Martha Stewart: The lifestyle maven will launch a restaurant concept called The Bedford by Martha Stewart at the Paris Las Vegas. She operated a cafe in New York City between 2014 and 2019.

PCC Community Markets: The supermarket co-op will open a 20,000-square-foot Seattle store in Rainier Square on Jan. 19, years after PCC announced plans for the store. It will be the only full-service grocery in the downtown core, an area grappling with office closures and a loss of retail. The store will be the 16th in the PCC chain, which was founded in Seattle in 1953 and describes itself as the nation’s largest community-owned food market.

Rusty Taco: The Inspire Brands-owned, fast-food brand is growing fast through franchising. The company operates 39 units and has signed multiunit franchise agreements to expand into new markets. Home Run Restaurant Group will bring three Rusty Taco locations to Salt Lake City, the first one slated to open next year. Ocathain Partners will develop two in Reno. Tacos of Heaven will open two in Norfolk, Virginia. And Lion’s Den will open five in West Texas, starting in Midland and Lubbock.

Walmart: Walmart will expand its InHome delivery from 6 million U.S. households to 30 million this year. Associates can place items directly into customers’ refrigerators and can pick up Walmart.com returns. Once signed up for InHome, a customer uses the Walmart app to place an order and selects InHome as the preferred delivery option. An associate uses a one-time access code through the app to unlock the customer’s door or garage. The app notifies the customer at every step, and a camera on the associates’ vest records the delivery. Customers can access the recording for a week. Walmart plans to hire more than 3,000 delivery drivers this year and build out a fleet of electric delivery vans. “We’ve been operating InHome in select markets over the last two years and have found it is a perfect solution for customers who want to live their lives without worrying about making it to the store or being home to accept a delivery,” said Walmart U.S. last mile senior vice president Tom Ward.

Wayfair: E-commerce giant Wayfair reportedly will open its first brick-and-mortar location by mid-2023, in the former Carson’s in WS Development’s Edens Plaza in Wilmette, Illinois. Carson’s abandoned the 150,000-square-foot space in 2018. According to reports, Wayfair plans to two smaller physical stores at other locations for its AllModern and Joss & Main brands.
