Open store is a new way for Shopify merchants to sell their business. We're not in the business of flipping the stores or selling them to anyone else. We're actually taking ownership of the stores ourselves and growing them as a part of our family of brands. And what's particularly cool about this is we're trying to do it at scale. So you mentioned like four by 400, you guys made it up to about six brands. We're more thinking along the lines of like 600 to 1000 brands. Okay, last I had heard was 250. So 600 to 1000 is really something.
Andrew Campbell sits in a unique position: he's the Head of Data Science at the most ambitious project in all of ecommerce, OpenStore, which means he's thinking about ecommerce data & how to automate operational processes from a perspective that no one else is. So I grabbed 40 minutes of his time to talk about what's happening at OpenStore, what it's like to row in the Olympics, and why you should be at least trying Bid Caps for your Facebook Ads.
