Branded experiences done well, either digital or physical, are never out of fashion. Kudos KITH . Retail is dead? Only if one's understanding of brand and branding is absent. Thx for sharing Jürgen Alker . #branding #business #retail #brand #experiential

Nationwide Coffee Boom: State-by-State Surge in 2024 Coffee chains across the U.S. are buzzing with a 5.1% increase in visits from January to May 2024, according to Placer.ai's latest report. Smaller markets are leading the charge, with Oklahoma topping the list at a 19.4% rise, followed by Wyoming (19.3%) and Arkansas (16.9%) where expansions may have a more substantial impact on statewide industry growth. Even larger states such as Texas (10.9%), California (4.2%), Florida (4.2%), and New York (3.5%) have seen substantial gains, illustrating the widespread demand for coffee. Despite new store openings, average visits per location dipped just 0.6%, indicating robust demand without hurting existing stores. Chains like Dutch Bros. and Biggby Coffee, which saw increases of 17.8% and 8.8%, respectively, are capitalizing on the trend by strategically expanding into these growing markets. Oklahoma led visitor growth, driven in part by new openings like our latest Starbucks listing in Durant. This location benefits from being only four miles from Choctaw Casino, which attracts about 1.2 million visitors annually. It features a landlord-friendly lease with a self-maintaining CAM clause, placing maintenance responsibilities on Starbucks.

Some sad, though not entirely surprising, news about Oddbins emerged today. While I wasn't a customer of theirs - probably because working in the wine trade, I've always had access to good quality, interesting wines at very reasonable prices - I still feel sorry for them. Most importantly, I feel for the employees, having experienced something similar when another retail chain closed the shop I was working in. As a marketer who would occasionally pop in, mainly out of professional curiosity, I feel this outcome was obvious. With their focus on the traditional 'bricks and mortar' retail model in an era of rapidly changing consumer behaviour and ever-growing wine offering (and buying power) among large retailers, this decades-old wine merchant was clearly headed towards a dead end. Not developing and investing in a strong online presence was a major mistake - one that no wine business can afford to make in the post-COVID era of web3 and AI. Let's hope the talented staff are able to find new roles within the industry very soon. Most of all, I hope they don't lose their passion for wine in general. #winebusiness #onlineretail #wineindustry #wine #wineonline #winenews #innovation

Retail Today / Retail Renaissance: Dollar Stores have been singing the blues, flat sales, their customers under economic pressure. #dollarstores #sales #inflation Family Dollar will close 800 stores this year. Dollar General had flat sales in 2023. Many believe this sector has created self-inflicted problems. #labor #inventory #leadership #storestandards Yet a “new kid on the block” sees opportunities. The most exciting dollar store you never heard of, DAISO! This Japanese Dollar Store has 6,000 stores worldwide, now with 100 in the states. #daiso What makes it so unique? Quality products under $2, and their unique merchandise mix. Stationary, homegoods, kitchenware, pets, toys, etc… #merchandising This sector historically has operated poorly, struggling to keep shelves filled. In my store visits throughout the year, customer demand isn’t the problem. “Sustainable Execution” is missing. Grab the opportunity! #filltheshelves #retail #retailindustry #retailtrends #shoppingexperience #TopRetailExperts

#malls #arcades #retail #realestate This is a fairly interesting write-up from Bloomberg about a well-known Japanese arcade chain expanding into America, but also, about how malls are keeping themselves relevant by focusing on attractions and experiences. Although in the Gulf, We didn't have a excess of shopping malls, we've seen dramatic changes in shopping habits, making retail unsustainable and that's led to more dining and entertainment options, everything from indoor rollercoasters to Michelin star restaurants pop up in malls in this region.
