Running Great Stores

Rachel A. Williamson is the founder of Running Great Stores and the author of 30 Days to Running Great Stores. She spent thirty years inside America's largest retailers, most recently leading transformation for a four-billion-dollar brand with a thousand stores, before stepping away in 2019 to advise retailers on her own. When nearly every client asked the same question, where is the book, she wrote it heads-down in her home office in two months. Published with Scribe Media in 2026, 30 Days to Running Great Stores reached number one on Amazon in its categories by its third day and, within weeks, brought a well-known retail CEO to the front of her book-signing line with a job offer. Her book distills three decades of operating experience into a practical playbook for the people who run stores.
