At this year’s Beverage Alcohol Retailers Conference in Chicago, our session on Business Planning was a last-minute scratch from the agenda. But our speaker, Emily McIntyre, was available to return virtually to bring that important topic to off-premise operators from around the country.
Her master class covered a challenge that many retailers have faced: whether to fix, close or sell their store. It’s a complicated subject, but listen below and you’ll learn about a methodology designed to help you make those decisions.
McIntyre is a growth and innovation strategist with a focus on artisanal beverages, who’s founded and led change-making organizations in Ethiopia, Peru and beyond, and has advised 100+ clients including Instacart. A keynote speaker, consultant, and serial entrepreneur from age 13, she created her Fix, Close, Sell methodology, and tested it in the trenches. She can also be found in a martial arts dojo, writing speculative fiction, or baking pies with her 12-yo daughter.
