Warehouse clothing racking are storage systems commonly employed in the garment industry. The market offers several specific solutions to facilitate and streamline storage and picking processes for orders containing clothing and accessories. In these systems, products remain stored in perfect condition in boxes or on hangers until being distributed to points of sale. The consolidation of ecommerce in the clothing industry has raised the demand for solutions that increase storage capacity and speed when picking garments.

Secondhand goods are on the rise, with younger buyers driving the marketplace's growth at a faster pace than new goods sales. This trend presents an interesting and challenging opportunity in retail as companies navigate ways to meet these evolving demands. #RetailTrends #SecondhandGoods #MarketplaceGrowth

#Express went public in 2010 as the sixth-largest specialty retail apparel brand in the U.S. Fast forward 14 years, and the company is struggling on multiple fronts. Its sales are down, its late payments are up and it's been delisted from the New York Stock Exchange. Express, which Bloomberg reported last week was in talks with lenders to help finance a possible bankruptcy process, has grappled with lower demand for multiple quarters. But how much of this is Express's doing? And how much is due to macroeconomic factors? Thanks to Neil Saunders and Brad Jashinsky for speaking with me about the topic for Modern Retail!
