DoorDash is to phase out Deliveroo's operations in Singapore as part of a broader strategic retreat from four international markets. The group confirmed it will also exit Japan, Qatar, and Uzbekistan following a multi-month review, saying it will concentrate investment in regions offering a clearer path to long-term scale and category leadership.

Initially, it was this feeling of, 'OK, well if this thing can write code, then my job here is done.' But they found out really quickly that writing code was just one piece of what they did. They've moved through that moment of unease.

The Drop store, which was acquired by gaming gear giant Corsair in 2023, was a haven for mechanical keyboard enthusiasts and audiophiles to discover and buy hard-to-find gear - sometimes at surprisingly good prices. The company will cease sales after March 25th at 11:59PM PT, which is also the cut off to redeem Drop Rewards.

Xu credited the "world-class business environment" that local officials have built and the region's "complete industrial ecosystem" as a reason that companies like his have thrived. For Shein, local support has helped the firm grow to support more than 600,000 jobs in the area, Xu said.

It isn't a universal truth, but a vast number of goods and services have their own full-circle moments. While there are still plenty of travel agencies in the U.S., the overall number is still down considerably from a peak in the 1980s. For some industry forecasters, though, the future looks a lot like the recent past, except that instead of travelers trusting human agents with making their travel plans a reality, they'll use AI agents for the same purpose.

There's a very specific kind of joy that comes from finding something that looks expensive and works well, but that doesn't cost as much as its style and practicality would suggest. This list is dedicated to those Amazon finds - the ones that make your space feel more intentional and your routines feel smoother, but without the luxury markup. These bougie, useful picks cost less than $25, all while upgrading your everyday life in every way.

A $5 church-sale lamp was never meant to be a business plan. But in 2011, when Pennsylvania mom and part-time marketing administrator Jocelyn Elizabeth watched her dad flip that lamp for eBay prices, it pushed her stroller-and-thrift-store hobby into what is now a seven-figure ecosystem, which includes the Crazy Lamp Lady YouTube channel plus NikNax, an online marketplace hosting more than 5,000 sellers and generating over $5.2 million in 2025 revenue.

Email marketing should seemingly be obsolete. The first "email," after all, occurred in October 1971, nearly 55 years ago. Surely, social media platforms, text messaging, and various applications such as WhatsApp and Discord could have supplanted it. And let's not forget the grim industry concerns when Gmail introduced the "Promotions" tab in 2013. Today, AI inbox summaries are the latest marketing threat.

you'll hear a recorded message explaining that the company doesn't do customer service calls and that you have to go to its website to submit your request through a written form. Why make getting help so difficult? Because Aldi doesn't want to hire extra employees solely for customer service calls. The chain uses many frugal practices so it can afford

It's been a particularly grueling winter, so naturally I can't stop fantasizing about spring. I've had enough of being holed up in my apartment all day; once the weather warms up, I'm practically going to live outside. The product geniuses at IKEA are clearly on a similar wavelength, because the iconic home retailer just launched two new limited-edition SOLVINDEN lamps that'll set the mood for outdoor hangs and make a style statement indoors in the meantime. Oh, and they're both under $20.

A good quality fan is a worthwhile investment no matter what time of year it is, especially for people with unevenly heated or cooled homes or people (like me) who enjoy white noise while they sleep. One of the most popular fan brands at Costco, the Woozoo, is back in stock - this time with a freestanding fan that could be a springtime game-changer, provided you get one before they inevitably sell out.

As the 2026 Winter Olympics come to a close, a whole new game is afoot: the mad dash to make money on exclusive memorabilia. When the Games are over, most of the event's coolest collectibles will become very hard to find, plundered by scalpers and bargain hunters and only available through online marketplaces like eBay and Vinted. And if the eye-popping prices already placed on the gear are any indication, they're going to be quite valuable.

Given that ParkerBrand had allocated greater resources to paid media, higher performance objectives were set for 2019. Overall, the goal was to grow revenue rapidly over a short period of time whilst maintaining the return on ad spend (ROAS) to remain profitable. This translated into the following objectives: Achieve a minimum of 10:1 ROAS "Grow revenue as much as possible" from a year-on-year perspective

We've been rigorously testing work-from-home gear for years-even prior to the Covid-19 remote work boom-and that includes dozens of office chairs and desks. Branch furniture has made standouts that are highlighted in our guides over and over again. Its Presidents' Day deals have been extended, bringing some of the better discounts we've seen on essentials we've tested like chairs and desks.

A favorite of backpackers, outdoor adventurers, and national park wanderers alike, Cotopaxi is known for its deceptively spacious bags, outdoor gear, protective clothing, and colorful styles. I've spent my fair share of time trekking up and down the country with my own Cotopaxi bag ( Cotopaxi Allpa 35L Travel Pack), which has seen such sights as Acadia National Park and downtown Boston, and on a recent trip to Italy, my travel partner brought hers along the Amalfi Coast.

When it comes to the ultimate easygoing, elevated bedding, you'll want to reach for the best linen sheets. This fabric is an old faithful with great range, seen everywhere from Scandi-style beach houses to cozy, colorful city apartments, owing to their breathability and relaxed look. And while you may think linen is just for summer and waterfront locales-yes, the moisture-wicking fabric works beautifully for body temperature regulation-the cozy, long-lasting material has become increasingly popular year-round for sheets, duvets, and shams for any style or space.

Weather impacts sales. Every retailer knows it. But for most, the likelihood that it might rain, snow, or sleet on the third of March somewhere in the Midwest is rarely used. Vendors such as Weather Trends have offered accurate, long-range forecasts for more than 20 years. But the opportunity is not predicting the weather; it's knowing what to do with the data. AI might change that.

The change stems from the 2025 amendment to the Federal Tax Code, which has sparked controversy in the sector following the reform of Article 30-B. This provision stipulates that taxpayers providing digital services must grant tax authorities permanent, real-time online access only to the information necessary to verify compliance with tax obligations, as recorded in their systems or records. When asked about the reform, the Digital Transformation and Telecommunications Agency referred EL PAIS to the SAT.

A tool-filled Lowe's superstore is now about as big as a New York City block. The focus stays mostly on appliances and tools for the home DIYer, more than large building contractors. I like to pop in for grill and griddle tools, or just some propane. But you can also buy a pre-finished door complete with the frame-or the lumber, sanders, routers, and saws you'd use to make your own door, including the hinges and the wood stain.

DoorDash ( Nasdaq: DASH), Figma ( NYSE: FIG) and eBay ( Nasdaq: EBAY) all report calendar Q4 2025 earnings tonight after the close. The companies represent starkly different corners of the internet economy: one powering local delivery at scale, another reinventing a 30-year-old marketplace with AI, and a third a recent SaaS IPO. Yet, each stock has been under the same pressure recently. Fears around AI disruption have sent each of these company's stock south.

I believed technology could reshape the jewelry industry entirely-changing how customers find pieces they love, personalizing their own designs, and reimagining the customer experience. We launched as a digital-first venture to do just that. Now, two decades into our pioneering digital journey, I've realized something surprising: Our most sophisticated online tools have actually made in-person interactions more valuable. I believe the brands leading the next wave of innovation aren't choosing between digital and physical. They're using digital excellence to help create meaningful in-person connections and lifelong brand affinity.

- payment consulting agency for digital businesses reveals what changing in the industry and how one can keep up. Bringing relevant payment solutions to the checkout today means not just to integrate all the providers and make settlements, but to understand the audience and create innovation within the same old patterns. Simple ways over complex structures Technology advancement is not what companies, and more importantly consumers, look for in payments on a daily basis. Just a few years ago merchants were chasing all available payment methods and were aiming a real patchwork of different options for everyone. Orchestration systems that could handle dozens of settings were on their rise.

Founded in 2011, Depop generated approximately $1 billion in gross merchandise sales - the total value of goods sold through its platform - in 2025. In the U.S., the company saw nearly 60% year-over-year growth. As of December 31, 2025, the marketplace had seven million active buyers, nearly 90% of whom were under 34, and more than three million active sellers.

The Bouqs story starts long before the company appeared on . Co‑founders John Tabis and Juan Pablo "JP" Montúfar met at Notre Dame, connecting around a shared frustration with the traditional floral industry. The two founded The Bouqs in 2012 and designed the company to ship bouquets directly from farms to customers' doors. The choice cut out middlemen and pushed against legacy models, where orders bounce from website to wholesalers to local florists.

Boohoo Group has launched a £35m share placing as it seeks to strengthen its balance sheet and support its long-running turnaround, sending its shares down 10 per cent in early trading. The Manchester-based fast-fashion retailer, which rebranded last year as Debenhams Group to reflect the stronger performance of that label, said the equity raise would provide additional liquidity and help create what it described as an "optimal capital structure".
