In the dynamic retail landscape, brands are constantly evolving as new stores open and recovery from pandemics kicks in. Cost optimization and process management are critical to growth planning. Here are insights from my retail tour of Southern California.
The volume of activity and the continued growth in every company never ceases to amaze me. Each brand brings unique challenges and opportunities, and it's fascinating to see how they adjust to the changing scene. During the pandemic, consumption shifted to e-commerce, and it was uncertain how consumer behavior would evolve when things returned to normal.
Recent articles like the one published by Colliers and Allen Martin show in numbers what I verified during my trip: a rebound in retail activity. After a fruitful tour in which I visited various brands, primarily in the clothing and QSR sectors, I can confirm the retail world in SoCal is alive and kicking, with a wide range of companies in constant action.
In addition, valuable meetings with potential clients revealed a common perception within the industry: It's true that some brands reduced their store patterns or even disappeared with the pandemic, but many others moved where the business is and adapted their concepts of brick-and-mortar stores complementing their offer with online platforms.
This evolution has resulted in the renewal of brands and the emergence of new companies ready to enter the market. The common thread lies in the need for effective planning to ensure continued success in this competitive environment.
