Gwyneth Paltrow’s London Goop boutique has closed for good, it emerged this week. Another Covid casualty, the company has said, even though the UK market is only second to the US in terms of website visits.

It s hard to believe that Rachel Drori, the founder and CEO of the wildly popular food subscription company, Daily Harvest, used to sustain herself on the stale birthday cake and trail mix that she d find leftover in her office building s pantry. I would go from one meeting to the next feeling like crap, says Drori, 38. But then again, maybe it s not so hard to believe after all, the best business ideas often emerge from the biggest gaps in the market. And Drori found a huge one: There wasn t food that was both healthy and convenient. I knew what I should be eating, but I never had time to actually eat that way, she says.
