Restarting Europe: Exploring New Trends in the Evolution of the Physical Store
This episode is the second of our new podcast series on “Restarting Europe”, where Food and Nutrition Research Analysts Margaux Laine and Marie Breban will dig deeper into the evolution of the physical store one year and a half into the COVID-19 pandemic, as Europe is gradually re-opening. The episode will explore two pillars shaping the future of the brick and mortar store in Europe – ‘Betting on Suburbia’ and ‘Exploring new concepts’. With e-commerce further gaining advantage during extended lockdowns, can physical stores compete by betting on community-driven initiatives? Can retailers and shops extend the role of the physical store, and where does sustainability fit into this new normal? How will the US-Israel-Iran war shape business dynamics beyond the initial shocks?
