In our Retail Reimagined series, we offer a thematic outlook to the post-crisis world, identifying and discussing key retail trends that are likely to prevail and exploring how retail may be reimagined in response to shifts in demand and supply.

  • Whether US shoppers are making more purchases online during the coronavirus outbreak and, if so, which categories
  • Whether respondents expect to retain behaviors from the coronavirus outbreak period over the long term—and if so, which behaviors

In this report, we assess US retail traffic in June 2020, covering weekly shopper traffic trends, traffic by retailer vertical, traffic trends for reopened stores, regional traffic trends and traffic by retailer location type.

Highlights from our June 2020 Retail Traffic report:

  • Although June saw a deep year-over-year decline in store traffic, it represented an improvement from May as coronavirus-led lockdowns were lifted.
  • Traffic was impacted by many states’ reversals of reopening guidelines by the end of the month, as the number of Covid-19 rose.
  • Declines varied by region due to the phased approaches to retail reopening (and reversals) taken by different states.
