The Ivanka Trump store is officially open for business. Racked Reporter Hilary George-Parkin explains how the label is shifting gears amid this business and political landscape.
The brick and mortar store opened inside Trump Tower on Thursday. George-Parkin says until recently the label mainly focused on its business through department stores. It is shifting gears now with a launch of e-commerce and this store location. "This is their way of establishing an identity," says George-Parkin.
Ivanka Trump stepped down from the label before her father took office, and she assumed her role in the Trump administration.
Southwest Airlines will soon require plus-size travelers to pay for an extra seat in advance if they can't fit within the armrests of one seat. This change is part of several updates the airline is making. The new rule starts on Jan. 27, the same day Southwest begins assigning seats. Currently, plus-size passengers can pay for an extra seat in advance and later get a refund, or request a free extra seat at the airport. Under the new policy, refunds are still possible but not guaranteed. Southwest said in a statement it is updating policies to prepare for assigned seating next year.
Cracker Barrel is sticking with its new logo. For now. But the chain is also apologizing to fans who were angered when the change was announced last week.
