What's Inside

As one result of the “mask economy” due to Covid-19, US retailers are refocusing on product over experiences—a reversal of the previous trend toward experiential retail.

In this report, we discuss the following key topics:

  • How the shift away from experiential retail is leading to retail store closures
  • Increased integration between store and e-commerce operations—and the conversion of locations to dark stores
  • Implications for retailers and real estate firms of the pivot to product over experiences

We include highlights from Amazon, Bed Bath & Beyond and Microsoft.
