It is generally all doom and gloom when business media write about department stores. This article by the FT strikes a more positive, balanced tone. I particularly like the quotes by ex-Selfridges employee and current Fenwick’s CEO, John Edgar: “When I first started working at Selfridges . . . it was like a stage set being reset every morning for the performance of the day and that’s a different mentality to somebody just unlocking the door and saying ‘Right, now we’re open, can we take some money?’” “That’s what we try and do in this type of business and that’s what department stores are about — it’s about a performance for the day to entice people to excite themselves.” “We’re trading on experience . . . exclusivity, uniqueness, and hospitality.” …to which I would add sustainability. There is something about the theatre, longevity and community-building powers of department stores that simply cannot be replicated by any other type of business. Don’t write us off just yet.

Our fearless leader Edie Weintraub was recently featured in a Bisnow article all about the obstacles Atlanta retailers are facing. “While most of the drop was attributed to the lack of availability, many retailers are opening smaller-than-expected locations. Shrinking store footprints are helping retailers achieve cash flow sooner with new locations.” Click the link below to read the full article: https://lnkd.in/eG-zXMVt #CRE #BusinessFeature #BisNow #AtlantaMarket
