In this weeks episode I get up close and personal with the one and only Sonny Brar, a veteran retailer who now is Vice President of Member Relations and education at Retail Council of Canada. We focus on conversation on retail loss prevention - top trends, what Sonny is hearing around the table at the loss prevention advisory council, and what is on deck for Retail Secure, Canada’s premier retail LP conference coming up in a couple of weeks. Next I chat with Sean Copeland, Vice President of Data at Lift & Co. in Toronto. We delve into their new cannabis study “As 2.0 opportunities emerge, can you still compete with 1.0 strategies: Canadian cannabis consumer insights for legalization 2.0” and tease out lessons learned for recreational cannabis retailers.
