Podcasts about Retail apocalypse

Join the conversation with C4 and Bryan Nehman as they discuss the "Retail Apocalypse" and if the closing of a number of big box stores around the country should be alarming. Later, they react to yesterday's interview with Baltimore City Council President Zek Cohen and his comments on how Baltimore City's budget is supporting illegal immigrants. Also, someone who was in custody of the Baltimore City Police died yesterday. What needs to be done to prevent this from happening again? C4 and Bryan Nehman live every weekday from 5:30-10:00 a.m. ET on WBAL News Radio 1090, FM101.5, and the WBAL Radio App.

Josh Sigurdson talks with Mark Gonzales about the historic retail apocalypse taking place right now as over 20,000 businesses go under and major, beloved brands either close all locations or at least a large percentage of them. From Joann Fabrics closing all remaining locations to Hooters going bankrupt. From Dollar General cutting a massive number of locations to McDonald's implementing AI while raising the price of the Big Mac dramatically. It's obvious that with the usually cheap brands becoming unaffordable due to inflation at the same time as monopolies getting bigger that we are in a historic crisis that can lead to a digital system of governance and corporations. Technocracy. Similarly, countless banks are closing their doors as well including many TD Bank locations in the United States. This signifies the importance of getting prepared financially so you aren't dependent on the system later. They will take your money from you as bail in retimes are implemented. They will ration things to you including food and the grid. It's your responsibility to step out of the line of fire. Stay tuned for more from WAM!

I spent much of my late teens and early 20s in one of two places: the radio station or the shopping mall. I didn't hang out at the mall; I worked there. I worked as a stock boy, salesperson, and inventory specialist for a jeans store in the southeast. It's long gone, as is the parent company that owned it. When I wasn't working there, I was working on the radio. My retail career only lasted a few years, but I've always had a fondness for the mall. Today, malls and shopping centers are dying. There's a retail apocalypse underway. Amazon and online shopping are partially to blame. But there are more significant issues...

几乎所有习以为常的事物，追溯其源流的过程中总是会有惊喜。比如购物中心——当大型商场变得越来越常见，最早探索这一模式的设计师、建筑师、规划评论家Victor Gruen的名字，却已经基本被遗忘了。他的职业经历称得上传奇，不仅将“零售设计”这一原本边缘的行业方向带上了高峰，更始终强调商业与公共属性的平衡、以及大型建筑带给消费者的丰富体验。当他将购物中心的理念成功落地到1950年代的美国郊区之后，“大盒子”毫无悬念地在全美被快速复刻，也快速走偏。甚至到1990年代，诸多经营不善的大型购物中心都成了美国零售业新的心病。消费者已经老去，谁说商场就会永远年轻？本期小历史，就让我们沿着Victor Gruen的职业生涯，来看看“美国式”购物中心诞生的始末。| 主播 |肖文杰、约小亚| 时间轴 |01:13 谁创造了“购物中心”？06:23 第五大道上的零售店设计实验12:17 194X年的美国城镇规划15:35一份完备的“购物中心开发指南”19:48 Northland vs Southdale，购物中心的两个模板31:31 同行对“购物中心”理念的进一步打磨37:05 作为投资品的购物中心40:11 彻底改善市中心，还是只要一段景观道？45:13 大盒子入侵全世界之后| 延伸资料 |Hardwick, M.

The Retail Apocalypse is upon us, or so we're told: the US has gone from 2,500 malls in the 1980s to about 700 today, and as anchors fold even more are expected to close in years to come. Today I'm joined by guest Alexandra Lange, architectural critic and author of the new book "Meet Me by the Fountain: An Inside History of the Mall", to discuss the amazing life and death of the shopping mall. We'll examine how the mall serves as a nostalgic touchstone for so many, their problematic reinforcement of structural inequality, the phenomenon of dead malls, and what might lie in store for shuttered malls in the future!

Welcome back! Small Axe Community! We are joined by Ash Patel!   Ash, is a full-time Commercial Real Estate and Business investor. Looking to invest in value add CRE and businesses. Over 10 years of experience in turning around properties and businesses. Love taking others on the journey with me. I have personally transacted over $40mm in deals. Looking to acquire value add warehouse, industrial, land, NNN, restaurants, retail, office, medical, etc. Open to joint ventures, startups, angel investing, and mentoring others.   So with no further ado, Let's welcome Mr. Ash Patel!   [00:00 - 08:32] Opening Segment Ash Patel has a 15-year career in corporate real estate and 10 years as a commercial real estate investor. He left his corporate career to become a full-time property investor and has purchased retail warehouses, offices industrial land mixed-use medical, and restaurants from vacant buildings to fully leased triple-net properties. The consistent theme is extraordinary returns for his properties, with an average annualized cash on cash return of 190%. He started out buying properties site unseen and then began mentoring others to scale up. Now, his mentees are finding deals and asking him to partner with them.   [08:32 - 17:55] Retail Apocalypse? Nico Says It's Not So Bad Commercial tenants typically have a longer lease and are more stable than residential tenants. It is important to find the right tenant for the property, whether it be a large grocery store, furniture store, or mom-and-pop pizza place. Retail is still a viable business, despite recent closures by big box retailers.    Quick Ad: Nico Invites you to join Jake's & Gino's Multifamily Mastery 5 in Florida this coming November 2022 If you're joining, Nico Salgado offers early bird pricing for you!

Suburban retail spots that are easy to visit and manage are often recession-resistant and internet resistant, making them a good investment. Ash has bought and leased fully leased triple net buildings in the past. He is interested in any type of property that doesn't have tenants living in it, as these are the easiest to lease.   [25:55 - 33:21] People will be forgotten but not the lessons you teach. Ash says that he doesn't do self-storage, multi-family, or development because he doesn't have a competitive advantage in those spaces He recommends buying something for a fraction of the build cost rather than building it new He has a mentorship program for people who want to learn how to find deals and advises compiling a list of life lessons that can help you     [33:22 - 34:22] Closing Segment   Connect with Ash through Facebook, Bigger Pockets, and LinkedIn You may email him through ashpatel@gmail.com   LEAVE A REVIEW + help someone who wants to explode their business growth by sharing this episode.

This episode features an interview with Garrick Brown, Director of Advisory Services and Business Development at Lockehouse Retail Group. Garrick is one of the United States' leading retail real estate analysts. On this episode, Garrick discusses why he thinks the retail apocalypse is over, how retail has grown into a hospitality business, and why consumer expectations are higher than ever.“Ultimately retail is kind of a hospitality business nowadays. It's so difficult to deliver on all three of my big motivators, which are: value, convenience, and experience. But we are now in the experience economy fully. And if you want to survive, it's so critical that you know that the experience is what builds your brand. It's what builds loyalty. And it impacts every single part of your store from operations to maintenance, to service. And it's so critical that everyone on your team from the buyers to the warehouse guys understand that is your basic credo.” - Garrick BrownTime Stamps *(0:14) About Garrick*(1:26) How Garrick's career has evolved*(7:50) The Retail Apocalypse is over*(14:25) Segment 2: Across the Goal Line*(16:09) The three reasons customers come to stores*(21:56) Garrick's view on the role of facilities*(28:50) The economics behind facilities*(30:18) Segment 3: How We Do It*(33:50) Talkin' Tech*(40:12) Segment 3: Future Forward*(42:40) COVID related shifts *(46:18) Garrick's advice for thriving in retail—Sponsor:Wouldn't you like to rest easy knowing that your brick and mortar locations are offering the best possible guest experience?

Part II of Retail Revolution vs. Retail Apocalypse delves into how the retail industry has changed and adapted to the Pandemic. In Part 1 of this episode which was released back in 2019, we discussed how brick and mortar stores were becoming less popular with the rise of e-commerce and how as a result physical stores adapted with innovative and experiential retail methods. Things are very different now with COVID-19 increasing reliance on e-commerce and increasing barriers to in-store experiences. Tune in to find out more about the future of retail, especially as a result of the pandemic.

This week our very special guest is Hubert Joly, former Chairman and CEO of Best Buy, senior lecturer at Harvard Business School and the author of the just released bestselling book The Heart of Business: Leadership Principles for the Next Era of Capitalism.In a wide-ranging interview we explore Hubert's storied career as one of the world's leading CEO's, highlighted by Best Buy's transformation into a truly remarkable retailer. But we also delve into his personal evolution from a hard-charging McKinsey consultant who was all about performance optimization, to someone who saw leadership rooted in unleashing "human magic." Beyond the captivating details of Best Buy's renaissance--which include strongly defying the retail apocalypse narrative--we unpack the many leadership lessons from Hubert's powerful new book. Chief among them is becoming people-centric, not profit centric and discovering your brand's--and your own--purpose. He also strongly argues for a complete (and urgent) re-framing of the role of capitalism and presents a pragmatic guide to applying his principles. Our conversation is compelling, concrete and profoundly optimistic. You might also conclude you need to find a coach.We wrap with our fast-paced weekly segment  “Remarkable or Forgettable?” where we give our hot takes on retail headlines, and deem them wow-worthy, best ignored or somewhere in between. This week's big stories include Amazon's blockbuster earnings, department stores' misleading footwear dominance, forthcoming IPO's from several well-known digitally-native brands and Walmart+ subscription stats.Steve's related Forbes articles:The Stores Strike Back.To Defy the Retail Apocalypse, Target and Best Buy Embrace the Blur.Other related readings:Marshall Goldsmith, What Got You Here, Won't Get You ThereBrene Brown, The Gifts of Imperfection HUBERT JOLY is the former Chairman and CEO of Best Buy.He has been recognized as one of the one hundred “Best-Performing CEOs in the World” by Harvard Business Review, one of the top thirty CEOs in the world by Barron’s, and one of the top ten CEOs in the United States in Glassdoor’s annual Employees’ Choice Awards. Joly is now a senior lecturer at Harvard Business School and serves on the boards of Johnson & Johnson and Ralph Lauren.During Hubert’s time at Best Buy, he and his team rebuilt the company into one of the nation’s favorite employers, a sustainable leader, and an innovator, dramatically increasing customer satisfaction and growing the company’s stock price 10-fold. His greatest achievement, however, may have been to make himself dispensable: he decided to step down as CEO in 2019 and as executive chairman in 2020, and pass the baton to a new generation of leaders.Hubert’s purpose in life is to make a positive difference on people around him and use the platform he has to make a positive difference in the world. Besides serving on the boards of Johnson & Johnson and Ralph Lauren, he now spends most of his time as a lecturer at Harvard Business School and supporting other leaders seeking to become the best versions of themselves and to lead with purpose and humanity. He is also actively invested in efforts to advance meaningful diversity and inclusion.Steve Dennis is an advisor, keynote speaker and author on strategic growth and business innovation.

As is always true with the economy, there is both good and bad news at once.On episode 111 of the CUES Podcast, Steve Rick says some of the good news is that the jobless rate has dropped back to a rate of 6.3%, after spiking to 14.7% at the height of the pandemic shutdown last year.Director and chief economist at CUESolutions Platinum provider for executive benefits CUNA Mutual Group, Madison, Wisconsin, Rick says economists believe that 4.5% is the “long-run natural employment rate” in the U.S. He is forecasting reaching that rate again by the end of 2022.“We do believe we will reach herd immunity, probably by the fourth quarter of this year … where … 75 to 80% of our population has been vaccinated and is … immune,” he says. “So, we're hoping by the end of this year to have the unemployment rate down to 5.5%.”Some of the bad news Rick cites includes the hard hit taken by retail businesses during the government-mandated shutdowns early in 2020. Many stores, restaurants and movie theaters have been severely disrupted or even permanently shut down in what Rick calls a “retail apocalypse.” While those that closed may never reopen, there is a glimmer of hope here, too. In the January retail sales report, Rick says, “We saw sales pick up 5.3% compared to December. Now, that's a huge jump. … if we can compare this January of 2021 … to January 2020 … before the pandemic, we're up 7.4%. Now, that is a huge increase, 7.4% in spending. … So we're actually seeing a nice recovery already.”Rick projects a jump in gross domestic product this year of about 4.5 percentage points. “So we're going to be making 4.5% more stuff, if you will, then we did last year,” he says. “And last year … we dropped 3.5% in the production of goods and services. So, a nice recovery for 2021. “… if we get another $1,400 stimulus check sometime this spring, you know, if President Biden gets his 1.9 trillion stimulus,” he adds, “we could see a really strong economy going into the second half of this year.”The show also gets into:More on the potential impact of any additional federal stimulus checksIdeas about retraining workers to help counteract unemploymentThe huge surge in member depositsThe answer to a question from CUES member Cynthia Ryan, EVP/COO of Connect Credit Union, Fort Lauderdale, Florida, about how to handle the boost in liquidity from the increase in member depositsThe mortgage refi boom and how many loans to sell on the secondary market in these timesThe potential impact of any forgiveness of federal student loan debtThe importance of cost control and managing net interest margin right nowLinks for this show:Email Steve RickCUESolutions Platinum provider for executive benefits CUNA Mutual Group, Madison, WisconsinCU Management magazine’s monthly CFO Focus columnsCUES Advanced Management Program from Cornell UniversityPartial transcript for Episode 111

Many investors are avoiding all physical retail as COVID has created a “retail apocalypse”, but you've stated that you see it more as a retail renaissance.  Why?
