MAN MUST EAT! – The (increasing) importance of food anchors for the placemaking industry

The global clash of digitalization and the pandemic is shaping the economic development of the 20s of this century. It has also led to profound structural changes of historic proportions. The consequences for retail and its accompanying services are equally dynamic and controversial. Food purchases at brick-and-mortar stores increased by 10 percent or more across Europe in 2020 as a result of the pandemic. At the same time, purchases of consumer durables, such as clothing, home electronics, home accessories, toys, sports, and leisure items increasingly shifted from offline to online retail.

The best of both worlds: the walk-in online shop

The ACROSS editorial team has discovered a very innovative store concept in Germany: The Event PopUp Store was developed as a high-tech retail theater concept by the agency von7 and designers from K.U.L.T.OBJEKT. The idea is to make stationary stores more individual and emotional and connect them with the online world.

Smart shopping, safe spaces, and strong resilience

“Upbeat Sounds, Such as Pop, Soul, and Funk, Are in High Demand”

Shopping areas, which owe their appeal, in part, to the vibrant atmospheres that are generated by larger crowds, are currently constrained by the safety measures that have been put into place as a result of Covid-19.
