Open In London

Sep 25, 2021

The bricks and mortar retail industry isn’t dead – it’s just changing. In fact, a report by the Office of National Statistics states that the number of businesses both on and off the high street grew by 15% and 22% respectively between 2012 and 2017. 

Away from the high street, shopping centres are also expanding – there’s even a third Westfield heading to the London area – and more shop owners are choosing to lease retail units that enable them to create unique shopping experiences. 

As Karen Whybro from Rock the Frock bridal boutique says,“Retail is doing fine if you’re offering something different or unique to the customer. Shop owners need to be savvy and give customers a reason to come to them and buy, or an amazing marketing plan which cuts through the digital noise and immense competition.”
