2017
Outlook
Deja Vu?
Last year at this time I commented on how the trends I was seeing indicated that
2016 could end up being difficult for retailers, just like 2008 was. It turns out
2016 was indeed a lot like 2008. There were numerous large bankruptcies and many
retailers struggled with misaligned occupancy costs as a result of lower sales.
Well, it seems like we have seen this movie before. 2017 is looking to be very much
like 2009 with more of the same that we saw this year.
Most mature retailers
we speak to are still looking to not only reduce their costs, but to also reduce
their footprint. In general they are feeling like this country is “over-stored” and
the Internet is continuing to have a big impact on store sales.
In 2016, we
saved our clients $259,786,230. Isn’t it time you called us to see what we can save
for you?
