Oh, now this has got us very excited! The biggest single store revamp Marks and Spencer has ever invested in, and it’s right on our doorstep at our local Fosse Park! As reported in Retail Gazette, the current store is expanding to a whopping 100,000 sq. ft allowing space for more product lines within their food, clothing, homewares, and beauty categories. Hoping to create a ‘brand defining’ store here in Leicestershire, we cannot wait to keep an eye on the developments over the summer and be one of the first to explore the shopping experience once all is complete in the autumn. This expansion not only signifies the brand’s healthy position, but is also evidence of the growing popularity, strength, and transformation of out-of-town retail parks into major shopping and leisure destinations. Fosse Park, whose tagline is Shop, Eat, Enjoy, note they are ‘seeing visitors come from further afield, with footfall growing year on year’. With brand expansions like M&S, we’re sure this trend is set to continue, and we can’t wait to see what’s in store next! Watch this space for more… #marksandspencerstoreexpansion #marksandspencerfossepark #fossepark #retaildestinations #leicestershopping #retaildesignagency https://lnkd.in/eawYw4Rm

Big Retail Moves in NYC in 2024! Retail is an important feature of most neighborhoods in NYC and proximity to shopping, restaurants etc factor in to choosing where buyers & renters want to live. While many NYers are mourning the departure of retailer #BedBathAndBeyond in their neighborhoods, there is good news, especially for home improvement fanatics! #HomeDepot has announced that it is moving from its location near Bloomingdales on Third Ave, into the expansive retail space vacated by BB&B on First Ave /61st St & plans to open sometime next year. Bed, Bath & Beyond has permanently closed their retail outlets and has chosen to continue as an online retailer. 2023 was a painful year for many retailers, but the new year is bringing encouraging news, particularly among the luxury brands. The owners of #Gucci have just 715-717 Fifth Avenue, a retail property for a whopping $963 million — and it could mean giving the boot to rival fashion house #Armani from its flagship location. Armani, on Madison Ave has already made a bold move and is a part of a new luxury residential development offering bearing the brand’s name! https://lnkd.in/eyMiUM-d #douglasellimanrealestate #retailrealestate

When Ahold Delhaize kicked off the multi-year remodeling plan for Stop & Shop in 2018, the Dutch grocery operator said it aimed to give the banner’s more than 400 stores “a fresh new look.” Since then, the renovations have played a key role in Ahold Delhaize’s efforts to boost the long-struggling chain. Over the past six years, Ahold Delhaize executives have touted the remodels as a success, and Ahold Delhaize USA CEO JJ Fleeman noted during a company event in May that remodeled Stop & Shop stores are outperforming ones that haven’t received updates. Yet Stop & Shop has remodeled only about half of its stores since the program began, and the chain continues to face financial woes. Stop & Shop is also looking to store closures as a way to help strengthen the banner, with Fleeman saying at the May event that the chain will shutter an unspecified number of locations. Alongside the store closures, Stop & Shop is proceeding with updating its stores, although the pace of yearly completed remodels has slowed.

Amidst the vast expanse of Fourways Mall, the landscape reveals a story of challenges and transformation. Over 120 of the 450 stores stand vacant, casting a shadow on the once bustling shopping destination. Empty wings, unopened 'soon-to-be' stores, and a large amount of vacant spaces mark the aftermath of the mall's major redevelopment in 2019. A striking 50 empty shops line the link between Woolworths and Toys R Us, creating a notable void in the once vibrant corridor. The challenge extends beyond tenant mix; leaky ceilings during thunderstorms and a need for additional family-focused restaurants paint a broader picture. The mall's lucrative catchment area calls for a thoughtful approach to reinvigorate its appeal. New managing agents, Flanagan and Gerard, step in with a promise of a R200 million investment to "reposition" Fourways Mall. The focus? Doubling down on family-oriented aspects, a strategic move aligned with successful ventures like Bounce, Ster-Kinekor, and adventure golf. As Accelerate strives for rejuvenation, the road ahead is formidable. A dynamic market, changing retail dynamics, and the expiration of the head lease in November add urgency to the situation. The future of Accelerate, it seems, hangs in the balance at Fourways Mall.

Has this happened in your retail shopping center? With retail space being so scarce, tight labor conditions, and high costs, some tenants may sign ✍️ a lease and pay their rent but not open or choose to operate continuously. 📌 From the tenant perspective, this can make sense but there are implications for the landlord as well! Despite the tenant paying their rent, the center’s other tenants and the landlord will still be impacted by an opportunity loss: ▪️ Co-tenancy provisions can kick in ▪️ Loss of percentage rent revenue ▪️ Shoppers may be put off by empty space ▪️ A seemingly abandoned, shabby space can bring down the overall attractiveness of the center In this great article by Daniel Villalpando at Cox, Castle & Nicholson LLP, Daniel offers landlords the following remedies: ▪️ Give the tenant extra time to open before remedies take effect. ▪️ Require the tenant to at least open for one day. ▪️ Make sure the tenant is required to perform all of its other obligations under the lease. ▪️ Give yourself the right to “recapture” the premises. ▪️ Don’t let a tenant’s right to “go dark” impact the economics of your deal.

Dees Stribling at Bisnow shares information on the record-low vacancy rate of retail, 4.1% as of Q1 2024. With vacancy rates so low, creating opportunity for space is at the forefront. Landlords have the opportunity to improve the quality of their tenants while increasing NOI and the value of their asset. Not all tenants Occupancy Cost are the same. I'm a restaurant guy; a restaurant tenant with an AUV of $450,000 vs a restaurant tenant with same use with an AUV of $850,000 has the ability to pay higher rents while still operating successfully. With competition fierce for space and many retailers focused on continued growth, there is an opportunity for best in class retailers to win space as it comes available because they have the ability to support a higher occupancy cost. For Landlord's always looking to add value, this is a strategy worth pursuing given the current market conditions. #retail #restaurants #VIP

If you have an underperforming Kirkland's store in your shopping center, and you are looking for a replacement tenant, hold off. That store may soon convert to an over performing smaller version of the once leading retail chain in the home furnishings space: Bed Bath & Beyond. Kirkland’s is joining forces with Beyond Inc., formerly Overstock, which purchased the Bed Bath & Beyond brand out of bankruptcy and together they are planning to open the first five Bed Bath & Beyond neighborhood small-format stores in 2025, according to Kirkland's CEO Amy Sullivan. The new Bed Bath & Beyond stores will no doubt deliver sales per square foot performance that will substantially exceed the current average Kirkland’s store. What I like about the deal Beyond Inc. struck with Kirkland’s is that they could convert some of the underperforming Kirkland’s stores into small Bed Bath & Beyond stores, which finally revives the former popular brand in the brick-and-mortar space. This would be better than the deal Beyond cut with The Container Store, which just includes opening a department within the store to sell Bed Bath & Beyond merchandise.
Kirkland's will be opening Bed Bath & Beyond #stores as Beyond tries to relaunch the defunct chain. Story is open for all to ready. CoStar News #retailers #retailrealestate #retailleasing
