Market Developments in Retail
Get the full download on the retail trends and concepts heating up for 2024!
After attending 34 conferences over the past 6 months, our team has spotted some exciting retail trends and concepts on the rise for 2024. Adaptive reuse of existing retail and non-retail spaces is allowing new growth for retailers, with many brands opting for smaller drive-thru-only locations. This is opening up opportunities in built-out markets.
Our team also noted the continued expansion of quick-service restaurants (QSRs) utilizing more automated technology and drive-thrus. Full-service restaurants are offering more convenient options like curbside pickup and online ordering. Meanwhile, grocery chains and dollar stores are aggressively growing into smaller, underserved markets across the country.
