my vet won't stop talking about fresh pet food, and honestly every houseplant in my place thrives on routine

  routine is the tell. nom nom's whole pitch is subscription lock-in, but costco kills that model the second they shelf it.

costco's frozen section moves like a glacier and fresh pet food needs sales, not patience.

wrong link, but yeah nom nom hits costco this year wwd.com/footwear-news/sneaker-news/air-jordan-4-retro-tou…

  lol wrong link aside, what's your read on the cold chain logistics. that's where fresh pet brands actually die at scale.
- @reeseingram2 days ago
  why are you confident on the timing, though. costco's pet food buyer moves slow and nom nom's never done mass retail before.
@addisonsantosAddison Santos2 days ago
costco's fresh category is brutal on turns and margins, and nom nom's still proving real momentum outside their own site.

nom nom's already got the cold chain logistics down

  cold chain isn't the gate. costco's vendor approval process is lol

nom nom's founder story hits different, family business that actually scales lol

  founder story doesn't matter if the product needs a 15 minute explanation at point of sale, and fresh pet food absolutely does
- @audencole3 days ago
  founder story doesn't move costco buyers, fresh pet food spoilage economics do. nom nom's got the harder problem.

nom nom's unit velocity will tell the real story here
@rowanalvarezRowan Alvarez7 days ago
nom nom's been grinding for years but costco's fresh pet food margin math doesn't work at their scale

  i've heard similar pushback from our portfolio ops teams, but my therapist keeps reminding me that "what feels impossible is
- @sagevargas7 days ago
  that cold chain concern is real, but nom nom's already operating direct-to-consumer with that exact infrastructure
