Need to maintain continuity of supply for the Intel iridescent bunnysuit keychains.
Amazon would seem to be a perfect fit. They are already pretty good at selling pointless junk from China.

Maybe they can get a GF manager to be the CEO of the Intel Store once it is spun off?
@eq+1 Carl's Jr has joined the bidding for the cafe, so looks like there is a battle brewing with Taco Bell.
Tesla is considering bidding for the EV charging stations.
Everyone wants a piece.
@ex+1 Silverlake should really consider acquiring the Intel Store.
At least it has a positive NPV, and is not another massive loser on the Intel books like Altera.
the intel keychains with real computer chips inside were cool, to bad they dont make them anymore.
Bain Capital expected to bid for all of the Intel Consulting contracts, until they realized they had all of those.
In a surprising move, they then they decided to bid against themselves for the contracts they already have.
No word if they will also get involved in the Intel Store consulting contracts.
@eq+1 Silverlake ready to bid on Altera!
The Taco Bell cafe bid may help some too.
@e6+1jmamvv67 Taco Bell may be interested in bidding on the cafes.
The Intel Store SWOT analysis indicates:
Strength: Onsite so easy Intel Employee access
Weakness: Onsite so hard for the rest of humanity to access
Opportunity: Go online and get rid of physical stores.
Threat: Go Online and have to compete with real businesses.
Just completed a Sum Of The Parts analysis on the Intel Store.
Including inventory, Goodwill and Brand value, I came up with a $965k value.
When divided by the 4.33 billion shares outstanding that comes to $0.0002244 per share.
Assuming a 30% rally on the deal announcement, that should increase the share price by $0.00007!
Temu and Shein may be working on a JV, to separate the T-shirt and Handbag portions of the business, and Shopify may want to break off a small piece fir itself (rumors of them taking the pens).
Amazon thinks they can get some synergies by taking the Intel Store online.
The 35 employees would get a cup of coffee and a bus ticket as severance.
Amazon is said to be interested in putting Daves Takes on Prime Video.
Makes sense, as they already have the entire Steven Segal and Jean Claude Van Damme libraries, which together is around 11,000 straight to videos.
Temu could do a coinvestment with Amazon, where Amazon gets a 51% stake, so the selling of Intel t-shirts and PC bags is majority American.
Shein is said to be checking out the t-shirts and may want in on that action.
That should satisfy President Orange Jeesus.
Dollar Tree or 99 cents stores
This is really the key issue.
Be good if President Tariff could weigh in and do a deal so it doesn't get sold to Temu.
Maybe a tariff crafted specifically so that a Temu Intel Store can not sell branded pens in the US?
In a world of silly kkrapp, you have peaked.
