The influence of megatrends on retail locations and consumer behavior have changed existing retail concepts and approaches. In addition, the effects of a higher inflation and problems in the supply chain lead to uncertainty. Nevertheless, new ideas (like pop-up stores) and foci (like experience-shopping) offer interesting investment possibilities for shopping destinations. But where and how will retail develop in the future and what are really interesting investment locations in the future? What are latest empirical results? What are challenges in Switzerland and on a global level?
