From Big Box to Big Experience: Retail's Transformative Journey At SABRE, diving deep into the retail transformation has been more than an observation—it's been an immersion into the evolving landscape where the battle against e-commerce giants is real. The challenge? It's not just about competing; it's about revolutionizing the playbook. The insight I've gained through guiding our clients is crystal clear: the future of retail doesn't lie in mere adaptation but in a bold reimagining of physical spaces. It's about creating a magnetic pull that digital screens can't replicate. This revolution is vividly demonstrated in the transformation of once-desolate big-box spaces. These vacancies are being reborn as vibrant community hubs, home to a diverse mix of trendsetting boutiques and buzzing co-working spaces. The entertainment and wellness industries are also riding this wave, with pickleball—a rapidly growing sport—leading the charge, evidenced by the proliferation of dedicated facilities. A prime example of this innovative shift is the renaissance of the old Sears in Freehold, now a hub for the Freehold Athletic Club and Dave & Buster's. This transformation transcends the simple filling of space; it's about curating experiences that keep the community coming back for more. Through my lens, places like the Freehold Raceway Mall are at the forefront of retail's evolution into dynamic ecosystems. These spaces are more than shopping destinations; they're canvases for shared family adventures. Imagine a scenario where shopping trips transform into experiences, where one parent can indulge in some alone time for shopping or relaxation, while the other embarks on playful explorations with the kids, perhaps through a spirited game of pickleball or a visit to an indoor amusement park. We're witnessing a paradigm shift where malls and retail centers transcend their traditional roles as transactional spaces, evolving into vital community keystones filled with opportunities for joy, connection, and discovery. Being a part of this transformative journey at SABRE has been incredibly fulfilling, highlighting the resilience and inventive spirit driving the future of retail. if you have any properties or are looking for any opportunities for your business, reach out to me and I'd be happy to assist tammam@sabre.life #retailcre #cre #retailleasing #retailrevolution https://lnkd.in/ekv9UW6w
Big changes coming to Freehold mall, including a 30,000-square foot pickleball court

Navigating the Ups and Downs of the Bicycle Industry The past few years have been a rollercoaster for bicycle shops. Early in the pandemic, cycling saw a massive boom, with bike sales soaring 64% to $5.4B in 2020. Shops couldn’t keep up with demand, selling out rapidly. However, supply chain issues soon led to inventory shortages. Now, with supply stabilized but demand waning, bike makers are slashing prices to clear excess stock. Despite these challenges, bright spots remain in the gravel and e-bike sectors. In 2023, bike sales were $4.1B, up 23% from 2019 but down from the peak. National retailers are rebounding faster than independent shops. Story by The Associated Press #BicycleIndustry #Cycling #Ecommerce #SmallBusiness #RetailTrends

Are there really enough pickleball players and people who want to learn how to play to support the recent surge in pickleball-focused businesses in Central Massachusetts and elsewhere? Places in Sturbridge and West Boylston are already open. The sport is such a draw right now that the company redeveloping the Neiman Marcus store at Natick Mall dropped plans to turn it into lab space for making it a pickleball club with 4 restaurants. Most of these businesses are designed for more than just playing the game and offer lessons so wanna-bes can become skilled players. More recreation businesses with lower barriers to entry are also popping up. Launch opened at the mall in Leominster, and there is a company interested in turning the old appliance store at Olde Shrewsbury Village into a trampoline-style business. You can make the case that the Natick Mall is becoming a recreation destination: a mini-golf business now operates in the old American Girl Store. Axe-throwing businesses have popped up to join the Rage and Escape Rooms to offer new twists on stress-relief activities. The destinations might get all the press, but they can't exist without their suppliers, which typically operate out of the limelight. A company in Lynn that has been assembling and distributing dart games since the '70s was recently in the news. Its new CEO is hoping all of the interest in recreational businesses will open up new markets for this activity stereotypically associated with pubs. Recreation businesses are nothing new. Mini golf is a staple that comes to mind. And roller skating rinks had their heyday. Not to mention the nonprofit YMCAs/YWCAs that have existed in communities for decades. The short of it is, if you have time on your hands, disposable income, and motivation to go out and do something fun, there are plenty of options to keep from being bored!
