This week's WSJ contest is titled STOREFRONTS By Matt Gaffney

The answer to this week’s contest crossword is a Fortune 500 company.

I bet with all the muggles, at least one of them has worked for this company whatever it is.

Now back to the Olympics.

Good luck with the meta and the grid.

Solved I guess. Or am I missing something? Either way, will celebrate with an Indian Paintbrush (https://imbibemagazine.com/recipe/indian-paintbrush/) as soon as our dinner guests arrive.
