5. five major factors affecting retail
development moving forward
we are in the perfect storm...
6. 1 OVER SUPPLY OF MAJOR RETAIL BRANDS 5
• Leading up to the downturn in 2008,
Wall Street and the Investor Market were
driving Retail Expansion
• Many major retailers lost site of sound
expansion strategies resulting in store
cannibalization and dilution of brand
• National retailers will be scaling back on
new growth moving forward with some
stores reducing the store count by 50%
7. 2 MAJOR CHANGE IN CONSUMER BUYING PATTERNS 6
• Post 2008 the Baby Boomers started
to cut back to spending, particularly
with respect to Goods and General
Merchandise
• The X&Y Generation is becoming a
significant buying force focused on
“Experience” over “Things”
• National and Local Retailers are adjusting
to the new buying patterns and trying to
re-gain their footing...there will be some
winners and losers
• The retailer needs to figure out how to
get into the pocket of the 25 year old,
who has 10% of the buying power of their
parents.
8. 3 INTERNET SHOPPING INSURGENCE 7
• Leading up to 2008... Internet shopping
was insignificant compared to the dollars
spent in bricks and mortar retail...roughly
3 to 8% of sales
• According to recent studies...internet
sales represent over 18% of total sales
with the curve trending almost vertical
• Many National Boxes and commodity
retailers are seeing the relevance of their
stores diminish...some will not survive
• Specialty stores are trending towards
“gallery” locations
• We are just as the beginning of the
internet’s influence on bricks and mortar
shopping
9. DEVELOPMENT PATTERNS ARE SWITCHING TO
4 “URBAN” OVER “SUBURBAN”
8
• Both Boomers and X & Y’s are moving
back into the city and retailers are
following.
• Urban markets are undeserved by most
retail categories and represent the
biggest opportunity for retail expansion
• The customer wants to connect to the
retailer, regain the sense of community.
• Convenience is critical.
10. 5 STRATEGY IS THE KEY TO SUCCESS 9
• Location, location, location is now
environment, environment, environment
• Connecting the consumer to the retailer
is key.
• Not everyone who makes $80k/
year wants the same thing. Pyscho-
demographcs are more important than
ever.
• Live, work and play were words over the
last 10 years. They must be executed
perfectly going forward.
