With a need for retail that is less reliant on touch, creating immersive ways to test products has become stable stakes.

Memomi sits at the forefront of augmented reality and transforming the in-store and online experience by enabling customers to try products virtually and get personalized recommendations based on profile, style and preference. From skincare and make-up to eyewear and scarves, here how they are thinking about the possibilities of testing and sampling.

Club stores drove nearly half of the growth in $330B U.S. store-brand sales

Club stores drove nearly half of the growth in $330B U.S. store-brand sales

Circana reports U.S. private-label sales reached $330 billion, with store brands holding 24% unit share and 23% dollar share of CPG. Club stores drove nearly half of the growth. Circana expects share gains to continue through 2026 at a slower pace as national brands sharpen pricing and innovation.

  • 01Club channels account for nearly half of all U.S. private-brand growth, so a store-brand program benchmarked only against supermarket peers is missing where the volume is actually moving.
  • 02A one-point gap between store-brand unit share (24%) and dollar share (23%) suggests private label is no longer priced far below the market average, which changes the margin math for premium-tier extensions.
  • 03The EU's 50% private-label unit share is more than double the U.S. figure, a reference point for how much headroom exists even as Circana expects the U.S. pace to moderate through 2026.

Meta is nearly doubling its Meta Lab stores for Ray-Ban AI glasses

Meta is nearly doubling its Meta Lab stores for Ray-Ban AI glasses

Meta is nearly doubling the store footprint of Meta Lab, its retail concept for Ray-Ban AI glasses, according to Modern Retail. In November 2025, The Wall Street Journal reported on pop-up stores in Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Burlingame and New York City. The stores are built for lingering and selfies. That design brief matters for any brand selling a wearable people must try on.

  • 01Meta designed its Meta Lab pop-ups around dwell time and photo-taking, with coffee stations and full-length mirrors, an explicit rejection of the get-in-get-out electronics store model, per The Wall Street Journal.
  • 02For brands launching a wearable that shoppers need to see on their own face, Meta's decision to expand physical stores rather than rely solely on online channels is a real-world reference point for the try-on problem.
  • 03The signal to watch is whether the new Meta Lab locations keep the pop-up format the Journal described or shift toward longer-term leases.
