Intro

Kids are expensive. Consumers are estimated to spend more than $100 billion on back-to-school shopping this year, according to the National Retail Federation.

Deidre Woollard, Mary Long, and Ricky Mulvey got together to talk about companies that could ride the tailwinds of back-to-school season. They discuss: 

• Surprises from a survey revealing the brand preferences of college interns

• Why “experiential” spending could be the future, or failure, of one big-box sports retailer

• If chatbots killed the homework help business

• And six stocks that play to back-to-school trends
