Thank you to our readers, subscribers, and partners

NEW YORK — As 2025 draws to a close, retailmediaIQ, publisher of Chain Drug Review and Mass Market Retailers, thanks our readers, subscribers, advertisers, and partners for your continued trust and engagement.

This year marked a significant milestone for our publications. In October, Chain Drug Review and Mass Market Retailers officially merged into a single, unified platform, expanding coverage across mass, grocery, pharmacy, convenience, and e-commerce sectors. The integration reflects the increasingly interconnected nature of today’s retail ecosystem and enhances our ability to deliver timely, relevant insights across channels.

Mass Market Retailers expands to reflect the spectrum of today’s retail

Mass Market Retailers is expanding its platform to integrate Chain Drug Review and add coverage of the convenience channel, creating a unified media resource that reflects the full spectrum of today’s omnichannel retail landscape.

Throughout 2025, our editorial and events teams enhanced industry engagement through live coverage, in-person events, and executive recognition programs.

We delivered on-the-ground reporting from major industry events like NACDS Total Store Expo, the NACS Show, and the PLMA Trade Show, providing real-time insights and executive perspectives to our audience.

Throughout the year, we engaged with our audience via our newsletters, including weekly editions of Mass Market Retailers and Chain Drug Review, as well as a monthly newsletter focused on the convenience store channel.

We also celebrated industry leaders through programs such as People Who Made a Difference, Women of Influence, Retailer of the Year, and Founders’ Innovation Day, as well as leadership breakfasts and webinars.

This included two retailmediaIQ PoP-Up Shops in SoHo, held in spring and fall, which brought together brands, retailers, influencers, and consumers for hands-on product discovery, storytelling, and live engagement.

Holiday schedule note: The retailmediaIQ office will be closed from December 24 through January 5. During that period, our teams will pause regular operations. The following editions of the Chain Drug Review and Mass Market Retailers newsletters will be published the week of our return.

Thank you for your ongoing support and readership, which enable us to invest in top-quality journalism, events, and experiences that showcase the future of retail.

We look forward to continuing to serve the industry in the coming year.
