And<a href=\"http:\/\/www.chicagotribune.com\/business\/ct-biz-amazon-pharmacy-business-model-20171107-story.html\"> here are some other thoughts on the subject<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li>Looking ahead to retail in 2018,<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thestreet.com\/story\/14349243\/1\/target-will-open-35-new-stores-in-2018.html\"> Target reports that it will open 35 stores, especially smaller stores a<\/a>nd they have also begun rolling out same-day delivery in select markets, planning to expand that service, of course.

Here, in <a href=\"https:\/\/futurism.com\/the-food-delivery-industry-is-changing-the-way-we-think-about-food\/\">Futurism Magazine<\/a> they talk about not only the push for food delivery but how to we look at accessibility in food and healthy food underserved\u00a0communities. As an early adopter of the delivery of groceries (yes, Webvan) years ago, I&#8217;m looking forward to seeing what other ways we can make life convenient.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span class=\"intro--medium\"><strong>As of September 8, 2020, Crimson &amp; Co (formerly The Progress Group\/TPG) has rebranded as Argon &amp; Co following the successful merger with Argon Consulting in April 2018.\u00a0<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">\n","protected":false},"featured_media":12230,"template":"","categories":[146],"class_list":["post-12229","article","type-article","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-supply-chain-recaps"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Supply chain and logistics recap - Argon &amp; Co<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.argonandco.com\/us\/news-insights\/articles\/supply-chain-logistics-recap-47-sandy-springs-atlanta-ga\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Supply chain and logistics recap - Argon &amp; Co\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"You&#8217;re probably ready for some time off, but busy days are ahead for some of our clients as they move out of the holiday shopping period and into planning for next year (yes, we help some clients with assessing what happened during this peak season and how to improve next).
