STRATEGIES AND EXPANSION PLANS OF RETAILERS

In recent years, the small town of Woking has gained a reputation as an economic and cultural hub, with an expanding business area, burgeoning arts scene, and busy retail center. Under the visionary leadership of the local authority, the town has been the focus of a major regeneration program, which is set to help realize its commercial potential.

In March 2023, the Düsseldorf streetwear label Live Fast Die Young (LFDY) had announced its intention to continue its international expansion.

However, the brand is not to generally disappear from the market in the three countries. “Our customers will continue to find our products in our online store and can order by direct mail,” the company said.

“We want to see people in our meeting places every day, so we are moving towards creating “work/live/play” retail spaces for everyone”, explains Jens Nielsen, Global Commercial & Digital Director at Ingka Centres. Following this approach, F&B has become a main focus of attention. Ingka developed the Saluhall concept to be a joyful community experience. The flexibility of the new sustainable and social concept offers people the freedom they look for, and the ability to experience life together.

The EUROPEAN SUPERMARKET MAGAZINE presents the most extraordinary supermarkets in Europe every year. In it, the SPAR Gourmet on Fleischmarkt in Vienna was included in the league of the finest and most beautiful grocery stores in Europe.

“The real value of a mixed-use property is when the stakeholders benefit from each other,” says Erwin Buckers. The CEO of Chainels spoke to ACROSS about the company’s plans and why the mixed-use trend will not only make the idea of community more important, but will also be a catalyst for Proptech solutions.
