M&S’s Goodmove range launched in January 2020, and expanded into men’s and children’s wear in January this year.

It has grown to become Marks & Spencer’s biggest in-house brand, with the retailer now selling 1.6 million items of the activewear brand annually. This includes 5,000 pairs of its ‘Go Move’ leggings a month.

In July the retailer announced that the sportswear range was available across all 254 of its stores as it was previously available in 194 shops.

Managing director of clothing and home Richard Price said: “Shaping the future of M&S Clothing means continuing to maximise the strength of our own-brand product: consistently focusing on everyday style and value, heroing product categories that matter most to our customers and developing our unique in-house brands.

“Launched just two years ago, today Goodmove is our biggest own brand, a credible competitor in the growing activewear market and a truly relevant offer for our customers.

“With health and wellness more important than ever for our customers, we’re starting 2022 with a bold campaign for Goodmove that highlights both the trusted value of the product and the important innovations within the range.”

This is inhibiting trial in the category and holding back conversion into sales. In fact, a 2017 study by Johns Hopkins University found that two out of three CBD products on the shelf did not contain the amount of CBD reflected on the label. Furthermore, in 2018 and 2019, the FDA sent notices to a substantial number of CBD manufacturers advising them of serious concerns about product quality or egregious medical claims. The impirica brand looks different than most CBD brands — the brand name itself connotes testing and trust, says Eagle Labs chief commercial officer Michael Law. “It doesn’t use the traditional category colors of browns and greens, and you won’t find a hemp...

"Since opening our doors in 2017, we have pushed for the best guest-experience possible — that's why our dough is 100 percent naturally leavened, that's why we have a purpose-built 400-square-foot pick-up and delivery area, and that's why we’ve launched a direct-to-consumer subscription-based ecommerce platform,” said Founder & CEO Ali Khan Lalani. “In 2020, providing the best guest experience means General Assembly Pizza has to be more than a restaurant.
