Quick Answer
Columbus carries a genuinely deep retail heritage thanks to L Brands, Abercrombie, Bath and Body Works, and Big Lots all being headquartered there. That has produced a consumer marketing talent pool and a DTC founder base that understands merchandising at a level most cities lack. The Short North has become a premier DTC district in Central Ohio across apparel and home goods. German Village and the Brewery District host specialty retailers and food and beverage operators. Suburban Dublin, Westerville, and New Albany have produced a strong base of health, wellness, and specialty commerce brands. Columbus also tests strongly as a representative US consumer market, which is why so many national DTC brands soft-launch products here.
