Based on real news: At Home taps former CFO as new chief executive (Retail Dive)
PLANO, Texas—At Home named Judd Nystrom, its chief financial officer from 2013 to 2018, as chief executive effective Sunday, Retail Dive reported. He succeeds Brad Weston, who retired in July after the chain's 2025 bankruptcy. Aaron Rose remains president.
The home decor chain is known for very large stores, and associates welcomed the hire of someone who has been inside one before. A fictional assistant manager said Nystrom located the artificial pampas grass (aisle 31, past the other artificial pampas grass) in under four minutes.
Asked about his first priority, a fictional company spokesperson said Nystrom would walk the floor, and that he had packed a lunch.

The Daily SKU is satire. Headlines and stories riff on real e-commerce, CPG and retail news, but the people, quotes, studies, surveys and most numbers are invented.
