Excellent analysis of the retail space in Mexico and how our malls keep growing while they wither away in most of the US. I recently helped with a boots-on-ground report on this subject for a US Client. Part of my conclusions was that you cannot underestimate Mexican marketplace culture, that predates the Spanish. One could trace a line form the Tlatelolco marketplace to stories like Plaza Sendero. By the way, not only the lower segments are thriving. Malls hosting upper-segmenmt retailers are also growing. Compare the approach Liverpool took to the "store within a store" with the one at Best Buy (successful) and JCP (failure) and melded it with a financial arm. Then numbers for Walmex vs Walmart, Palacio de Hierro vs Saks. Sears Mexico vs Sears USA. Then Google "La Plaza Mall" in McAllen Texas and their $180 in 8 years' expansions. #mexicoretail

Coop vs. Migros-Genossenschafts-Bund - The Battle of Swiss Retail Giants In the Swiss retail showdown, Coop currently leads the pack against Migros. How is Coop managing to outpace the iconic orange giant? Join us as we explore the strategies that have put Coop ahead. Are you team Coop or Migros? According to Coop CEO Philipp Wyss there’s no such thing as “Coop kids”, highlighting the unique appeal of Migros’ long-standing private label brands. Despite this, many Migros loyalists are beginning to show less love for the retailer. Under the leadership of Migros CEO Mario Irminger the company faces significant challenges with substantial market share losses in its core business. In contrast, Coop is already opening newly renovated stores while Migros still strategizes over a unified supermarket format. Coop’s proactive renovations and expansion strategy contrast starkly with Migros’ delayed updates and perceived stagnation. Coop’s holistic and long-term approach to remodeling has paid off with a fresh, market-like feel in its stores, producing many of their products in-house. As Migros attempts to catch up, the differences become increasingly apparent to customers, who are quick to notice the disparities in store experience.

The Palomar Group is ready to help our clients make money after a successful trip to the ICSC conference in Vegas. Here are some key takeaways from the event: Unanchored street retail centers are stealing the spotlight post-Covid, drawing both investors and shoppers alike. With hybrid work schedules becoming the norm, people are flocking to strip centers near their homes more frequently. Traditionally the domain of mom-and-pop owners, this sector is now witnessing a surge of institutional capital infusion. And guess what? Consumers are loving the in-store shopping experience, even as store sizes shrink. Across the US, retail vacancy rates have plummeted to historic lows, while new construction has hit rock bottom. Why? Blame it on skyrocketing construction costs linked to higher capital expenses, wages, and overall construction costs. As long as construction costs stay high, the scarcity of supply will continue to be a key challenge for the retail sector in the foreseeable future. In other news, ALDI USA's acquisition of Southeastern Grocers, including Winn-Dixie and Harvey's, is making waves. With an eye-popping addition of 400 stores, Aldi is sprinting towards its goal of opening 800 new stores by 2028. Expect a phased approach to store conversions, with around 50 stores kicking off the transformation process in late 2024 and the bulk rebranding as Aldi in 2025. But fear not, a significant portion of Winn-Dixie and Harvey's will still fly their current banners. Here's an interesting tidbit: Spaces smaller than 2,500 square feet hogged more than two-thirds of executed leases in Q1 of 2024. And when it comes to the Quick-Service Restaurant (QSR) arena, heavyweights like McDonald's, Chipotle Mexican Grill, Wingstop Restaurants Inc., and Dutch Bros Coffee are on a serious expansion spree this year. Big Box leases (50,000 square feet and up) accounted for less than 1% of all new leases and less than 6% of space. But hey, don't underestimate the biggies like DICK'S Sporting Goods, BJ's Wholesale Club, Bosse Pickleball, and Chicken N Pickle—they're still in the game! What were some insights you had from the conference? Share your thoughts! #ICSC #Retail #WeGetRetailSold #VegasICSC #ICSCVegas

📢 In the News 📢 The $40M partnership between Beyond Inc. and The Container Store could be a game-changer in retail—though it won’t be without its challenges!

When it comes to the collaboration, he says the joined forces could be a win-win: Bed Bath & Beyond gains a virtual retail footprint, while The Container Store taps into a broader audience through loyalty programs and cross-promos. But it’s not all smooth sailing—both brands are navigating some major shifts. Catch the full article here: https://lnkd.in/gWxNgwvM
