Rapid Transitions: Edina Liquor
This sales data is remarkable. From our municipal liquor store…
Edina Liquor
The three Edina Liquor stores were closed at 5 p.m. Tuesday, March 17. We moved all sales to our online portal and home delivery service. On Wednesday, we generated $8,300 in revenue. For perspective, that is $403.00 more than an average Wednesday operating with three retail locations during the same time frame. We ended the day on Wednesday with close to 200 online orders and over $20,000 in revenue – again, in line with an average Wednesday with three open stores. Based on our sales data over the past 10 days, if we maintain the current delivery volume through the month of March, Edina Liquor will exceed our growth target of 3.5 percent year over year and essentially be unharmed by this closure.
Local transformations are going to happen at a blinding pace as we go through the Covid-19 pandemic.
Yeah, about time. 🍺
After three days of working from home my daughter (14) asks “Dad, when do you do your work? All you do is talk to people all day?" 🤩
I’ve been using my Peloton gear more and would like to have more connections there. If you are on Peloton, give a follow to “JThingelstad”. 🙌🚴🏼♂️💦
Happy St. Patrick’s Day everyone!
Donated to Greater Minneapolis Crisis Nursery. Organizations like this are going to need to help a lot of people soon. Think about where you might be able to help in your community.
We just did our first Family Fitness Challenge while we are staying inside more. Daily challenge for pushups, sit-ups, and plank! #FitByFifty
Made my first try making candles. Wood wicks, soy wax. Pretty easy, but not a big fan of the scent I used. Maybe scent-free is the right option.

In this time of Covid-19 it would be a good gesture for Xfinity, AT&T, and other broadband and wireless carriers to remove data transmission caps on customers.
I’m surprised the NY Times isn’t making an animated version of their Coronavirus maps available that shows the progression.
Currently noticing every single cough in the Orlando airport. 😷

The top blocked domain that my Pi-Hole is protecting me from every day is api.segment.io. That isn’t a web browser thing that 1Blocker could even block. It is API calls embedded, I suspect, in iOS Apps. I love having multiple layers of surveillance blocking!
International Women's Day 2020
We had a great event recognizing International Women’s Day at SPS Commerce. Great keynote and exercise around vulnerability and bias led by Brave New Workshop’s Margi Simmons and a wonderful panel from women leaders in #TeamSPS!
