There is no doubt that retailing is undergoing a significant structural transformation. During the last decade or so, many stores have closed. Yet, at the same time, online retailers are opening physical stores and showrooms and many long-established retailers are investing in new and innovative store formats. This suggests that the physical store is not ‘dead’ but that its role and function is ch

What made IKEA go against the grain and move into town? This week, IKEA opened a bedroom store in central Stockholm. The store in The Lobby on Regeringsgatan is the latest in a series of smaller, city-centre formats that IKEA is currently testing in various parts of the world. It is an interesting development, at a time when other retailers are moving out of the city. And it represents another imp

Individuals cannot solve the climate crisis, argue researchers Carys Egan-Wyer and Jack Coffin. Policy makers should direct their attention to the (im)moral market structures that influence consumer and corporate decision-making. In the fight against climate change, it is more important to make markets more moral than to make consumers more ethical. Individual consumers are, by now, well used to b

Martin Moström from Retail House shares insights on the necessity for the retail sector to embrace change. Contrary to rumours, the physical store is far from obsolete; it has consistently evolved.
