Build-A-Bear Workshop’s Post

Traversing the Retail storefronts (on Corfu Island, Greece) a UNESCO World Heritage site! This week's video adventure took me to the enchanting Greek island of Corfu, specifically the historic Old Town, which dates back to the 8th century BC. Imagine the ancient world buzzing with activity, and now, juxtapose that with today’s vibrant yet quaint community—it's a fascinating contrast. Walking through Corfu's cobblestone streets and discovering partially intact church walls was like a live history lesson. These hidden gems, often tucked between narrow pedestrian walkways (where even a Smart car would struggle), are flanked by shops that seem as ancient as the island itself. In a delightful twist, I stumbled upon a few corporate retail brands among the predominantly family-owned stores (my estimate: 80% are family-run). Even more surprising was the scarcity of major supermarkets—90% seemed locally owned (organic) blended with a few Asian retail styles. It’s a stark reminder of how retail diversity thrives here. A standout from my visit was the Olive Wood Workshop by Tom. Picture your handy uncle or grandfather, and you get Tom, who’s been crafting exquisite products from fallen olive trees since 1969. Talk about sustainable and local business practices! On the flip side, the Old School Sneaker Club was a refreshing contrast. With its modern finishes and luxury millwork, this store has clearly undergone recent renovations. Their sleek decor effectively targets the skate demographic, blending modern retail strategies with classic charm. As I wrap up this video journey, I can’t help but recommend adding Corfu to your travel itinerary. It's a perfect blend of history and modern retail touchpoints—a testament to how timeless retail principles endure through the ages. Thank you, Corfu, for the unforgettable memories and invaluable retail insights. #RetailInnovation #SustainableOrganic #GreekOliveOil #CorfuAdventures #RetailStorefronts #CoporateRetailBrands #Sephora #RetailTrends #FamilyOwnedBusinesses #UNESCOWorldHeritage

Non-places consist of those spaces that are necessary for specific purposes, but have no interaction with the people who frequent those spaces. For example, airports, shopping malls and train stations. They have no identity, no history, they just exist, but the Leopolda is different! From a non-place, it has become one of the most pliable spaces in Florence, experienced by everyone who passes through and comes to life event after event. #StazioneLeopolda #StazioneLeopoldaFirenze #eventsplanning #eventsdesign #florence #cityofflorence
