Big news from the retail world! John Lewis & Partners is expanding its collaboration with Caffè Nero, bringing branded cafés to selected department stores and supermarkets. The first five cafés have already launched in Waitrose & Partners locations across #Billericay, #Godalming, #Keynsham, Locks Heath, and #Stroud, with a new opening at the John Lewis store in White City, West London. Building on a partnership that started in 2021, this move goes beyond the free hot drinks loyalty perk - customers can now enjoy freshly prepared coffee from expert baristas and a relaxed space to unwind during their shopping trips. Charlotte Di Cello, Waitrose Commercial Director, shared: “Our stores are hubs for local communities across the country, and we know our customers love having the option of enjoying a coffee, snack, or meal after their shop.” Source: https://lnkd.in/eJvvwKrr #Retail #CustomerExperience #Innovation #Partnerships #Coffee

Our managing partner, Lisa (Phillips) Hutcheson, was recently featured in the Toronto Star. She shares her thoughts on the Beer Store's place in the retail sector. https://lnkd.in/eBuWh4sQ The Beer Store’s grip on Ontario’s alcohol market is slipping fast! Once owning over 90% of the beer market, it’s projected to drop to just 15% by 2026-27, while the LCBO is set to dominate with a 77% market share. Why? The government is opening the door to more competition with grocery stores, big-box retailers, and corner stores selling booze. People are choosing convenience and variety over the old-school Beer Store experience. Experts say it’s not looking great for their future—unless they make some big changes, fast. What do you think? Is The Beer Store still your go-to spot, or are you shopping elsewhere? “It’s not sustainable in its current form,” said Hutcheson, managing director at retail consultancy J.C. Williams Group. “It’s not a particularly compelling offering at the moment.” #TheTorontoStar #RetailConsultants #RetailExperts #RetailStrategy #JCWG #JCWilliamsGroup

CHARLOTTE HALL STATION UPDATE McKay’s To Open New Liquor Store Construction is underway at Charlotte Hall Station, a new shopping center on southbound Route 5 between Golden Beach Road and 7/11. Weis is building a 60K square foot (SF) grocery store with a pharmacy, Amazon pickup, Starbucks kiosk, and a salad/hot bar area according to blueprints. Additionally, Weis Gas-n-Go will front Route 5 on the corner of the center’s main entrance. Building C, immediately next to Weis, will soon be home to McKay’s Grapes, Grains & Gatherings.
