Retail Today / Retail Renaissance: Let’s forget all the doom and gloom of San Francisco, what is really happening in our big cities? Earlier this week we talked about the huge success with “The Battery Atlanta”, Atlanta’s entertainment/retail center in the metro area. Now the resurgence of retail in Chicago along the Gold Coast including Magnificent Mile. Luxury Brands paving the way with new growth, Bottega Veneta, Hermes, Armani, Prada, Chanel, etc.. Manhattan is back to $1000 sq foot, with new additions from Dolce & Gabbana, Louis Vuitton, Gucci, Rolex, Marc Jacobs, Saint Laurent and more. “It’s hard to overstate the excitement in the retail market”. Even E-commerce brands are looking for Brick&Mortar opportunities, Cananda Goose, Gorjana, Monos, etc… “Stores are a profitable growth engine for online sales”. Don’t worry about the younger generation, 97% of GenZ shop in B&M! #retail #brands #sales #shoppingexperience #stores #retailtrends #retailindustry #retailstrategy #brandexperience #brickandmortar #ecommerce #chicago #manhattan
The only thing I would say about Gen Z (young people) and Alpha in the coming years, is that such luxury and premium brands need to entice and prime them now. There will be a day when 3% becomes a lot higher. Tiffany & Co. learned this the hard way. LVMH is trying to repair things.
I love mornings when you are sharing the tea Walter Holbrook! What great news for those of us who love the physical presence of stores! I see a trip to KOP in the future!
Stores...never been more important.
