Alex Schinasi's Tote-On-Wheels Makes Schlepping Easy
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Anyone who has tried to carry groceries through the city knows what it means to schlep. The word evokes summer heat, heavy grocery bags and feeling that whatever load you are carrying is one missed step away from scattering across the sidewalk. But this is not how Alex Schinasi sees it. Schinasi is redefining what it means to schlep. "There's the vision of the person carrying a million grocery bags from Trader Joe's back to their house and you have the marks on your arms from all the heavy lifting," Schinasi told Newsweek. "But there's the mental schlep too, of like, 'How am I going to carry this from my car to my house?' or 'How am I going to deal with this long day out and about in the city when I know I have five clients to visit?' Hulken makes that better for you." Hulken launched in 2020, but the idea originated almost 15 years earlier, when Schinasi's father built a bag for the family to use around the house. His background in manufacturing helped him develop the design, but her entrepreneurial experience took Hulken to the next level. Women's Global Impact: Alex Schinasi Women's Global Impact: Alex Schinasi Newsweek Illustration Schinasi's first company, Ivy, a workflow tool for the home remodeling industry, was acquired by Houzz in 2018, while her second company, Clay, an early AI-powered platform in early education, was acquired by Kangarootime in 2024. Both companies empowered people to do their jobs better and, at its core, Hulken is no different. Building community is at the center of everything Schinasi does, from the software companies to Hulken. "People would come for the software, stay for the community and it's similar with Hulken, right?" Schinasi mused. "One of my favorite parts of running Hulken is seeing all these thrifters and interior designers and makeup artists and hairstylists using Hulken to do their jobs better." This community has continued to grow, as the iconic tote-on-wheels has appealed to people both in the home and outside of it. "What makes me happy and happy to wake up every morning is to see that we're empowering these people professionally," Schinasi reflected. "But of course, much beyond that too, moms will use us to do daily errands." A mom and a female entrepreneur, Schinasi has always focused on how her companies can impact women and help build them up in their lives and in their careers. This mission has driven her work and her experiences as a founder. "If you look at our demographic: 95 percent women. And so every one of my companies is really focused on empowering these women and whatever it is that they do, and I think that's, for me, a very, very proud achievement" Schinasi said. Having started three companies, Schinasi knows how hard it is to be taken seriously as a female entrepreneur. While she has found a lot of success today, the road was not always easy. "Being a female founder, especially in my 20s with my first company was very money, being taken seriously, especially when you deal with a female audience," Schinasi said. "As I aged, obviously we got street cred because we sold companies and we made a name for ourselves, but we had to fight for it." In the end, the fight seems to have been worth it, with the distinctive bags popping up on street corners across the United States, carrying everything from groceries to books to children's toys. With limitless potential, what might one find Schinasi schlepping in her Hulken? "My emotional baggage?" Schinasi joked. "As a mom, I obviously am a professional schlepper because I'm schlepping my kids and everything else that comes with it in my Hulken," Schinasi said, emphasizing, "literally everything." Schinasi will join Newsweek at this year's inaugural Women's Global Impact forum. The August 5 event, hosted at Newsweek's headquarters in New York City, will bring together some of the world's top female executives and connect them with rising stars across industries and job functions.

Trader Joe's collabs with Bay FC on viral mini tote giveaway
Bay FC fans hoping to get their hands on Trader Joe's wildly popular mini tote bags — the same ones listed on the secondary market for as much as $49,000 online earlier this year — will soon have their chance. In a new collaboration between the women's professional soccer club and the grocery chain, ticketed attendees at Bay FC's home match on Aug. 2 against the Houston Dash will receive an exclusive, co-branded mini tote upon entry. The giveaway capitalizes on the national frenzy sparked earlier this year when Trader Joe's pastel-colored canvas totes sold out within minutes and flooded resale sites at eye-popping prices. Now, Bay FC's custom version will be offered as part of its multi-year partnership with the grocer — the company's first with a National Women's Soccer League team. 'We're thrilled to provide a fun, memorable experience for fans,' Bay FC said in its announcement last week, encouraging early arrivals for pre-match FanFest activities. These include an on-stage grocery bagging contest, a Trader Joe's-themed scavenger hunt and giveaways. While the collectible totes will be permitted at the Aug. 2 match, officials note they do not meet PayPal Park's standard bag policy and will be barred at future games.

A Beloved Chef Is Retiring and Closing His Bainbridge Island Restaurant
Greg Atkinson is riding off into the sunset. After a 48-year-career as a chef, food writer, and teacher, the longtime fixture of Seattle's dining world is retiring, reports the Seattle Times. The bad news? That means that his Bainbridge Island restaurant Marche has closed. The good news is that it's being replaced by a seafood and oyster spot called Sweetwater Tavern, which should open later this year. The Times recounted Atkinson's career, which started in 1977 when he got a cooking gig at his brother's Irish pub. He spent a long time working on San Juan Island, where difficulty sourcing good produce from the mainland encouraged him to use local ingredients. 'It seemed like the food I could buy from the local fishermen and farmers was higher quality than what was coming in on the trucks on the ferry,' he told the Times, 'so I just started doing that.' That made him, as the Times puts it, one of the 'first proponents of local, seasonal and sustainable foods in the Pacific Northwest.' That attitude is commonplace now, thanks in part to Atkinson. He spread this ethos through his cookbooks and writing (he won a James Beard Award in 2000 for his writing), and as an instructor at Seattle Central's Culinary Academy. In 1997 he got a job as a consultant at storied Seattle restaurant Canlis and became the head chef there for seven years. Now, with Marche closed, the restaurant part of his career is over, though he told the Times he still plans to write. Yes in my backyard (bagel) One of Seattle's hot bagel shops is expanding. Backyard Bagel, which opened in Fremont last year, announced on Instagram that it was opening a second shop at 4520 Union Bay Place near University Village, which until recently was a General Porpoise doughnut shop. 'We weren't planning on it but this opportunity was too good to pass up,' Backyard wrote on Instagram, indicating that it would open in the next few months after staffing up. Croissants from Ukraine Lviv Croissants, a Ukrainian-born sandwich chain, is planning to open its first West Coast location in the Westfield Southcenter mall, reports Puget Sound Business Journal. The chain has a production facility and storefront in Georgia, and is planning to open other shops throughout the United States, according to the Journal. Trader Joe's could come to Northgate Also from the Journal: Popular grocery chain Trader Joe's is considering opening a Northgate location, in the long-closed Bed Bath and Beyond. Trader Joe's didn't confirm these plans, but the Journal reports that the company has filed a pre-application for the space. Trader Joe's operates several stores in the Seattle area, but the latest opening, in Greenwood, still drew a massive line earlier this year.
