In this episode of The Interview Series, host Karl McKeever is joined by by Matt Alexander, Co-Founder and CEO of Neighborhood Goods, as well as the brand’s President, Ashley Shelton Conger. Named one of Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies, Neighborhood Goods is a new take on the department store, featuring an ever-changing landscape of the world's most thoughtful, progressive, and exciting brands. Central to its business philosophy is providing a place for community, to foster a new culture around shopping and the type of experience you can expect from it. It opened its first outpost in Plano in 2018 and now has locations in New York and Austin, with two more stores planned for 2023. We sit down together to discuss the brand’s story, the future of department stores, and the shift towards community-focused retailing. Presented by Peak Technologies
