Subscribe to Our New Retail Newsletter

Our passion has led us to the creation of a monthly newsletter that we invite you to sign up for. We’ll offer a range of curated information, from insights and sector reports to industry news and project highlights.  

Keeping a Finger on the Pulse and an Eye to the Future 

We shop. We play. We eat. We live. Just as spring is a time of both renewal and growth, so too is our increasing desire for more enriching experiences where we do these things. Retailers help shape our daily experiences, and financial indicators point to a year of robust growth in this industry, especially as more individuals get vaccinated, at least according to the National Retail Federation, the country’s largest retail trade association. The federation predicts that Americans will spend at record levels in 2021, prompting retail sales to grow between 6.5% and 8.2% to more than $4.33 trillion. Projected sales growth unlike anything we’ve seen since 2004. 

The spaces we engage with as consumers, and the experiences those environments create, encompass the spectrum of our lifestyles. Many of them are hybrid spaces where we Shop, Play, Eat and Live. 

Our Retail Practice seeks to elevate the performance of these spaces, and subsequently enrich the lives of all who enter them, through our diverse and proven expertise, robust service offering and insatiable desire for innovation. More information can be found on Issuu

In our newsletter, we’re not simply focusing on the present. We’re devouring insights through trend reports, such as this Executive Summary example from Trend Hunter*, and advancing ideas through thought leadership to create a better future.  For a complete version of this or other Trend Hunter reports, please contact us at [email protected].

Enjoy!
