What a experience 2024 has been!
From bustling markets to navy bunkers turned retail environments, I had the privilege of exploring a number of continents to uncover essentially the most revolutionary, jaw-dropping, and typically quirky retail havens.
Right here’s a fast spotlight reel from this yr:
Kicked off in NYC on the NRF Retail BIG Present—as a result of who doesn’t love beginning their yr off in The Large Apple?
Flew all the way down to Florida for The MOB Innovation and Collaboration Discussion board —palm bushes meet retail insights galore.
Wandered by Costa Rica, France, and England, absorbing inspiration from vibrant native markets and historic purchasing districts.
Skydived into Albania to go to a retailer named, Aladini—who knew bunkers might go from survivalist to retail storefront?
Explored North Macedonia (Samuel’s Fortress) in Lake Ohrid. Sailed to Corfu Island, Greece, and all the way down to Athens, the place historic ruins meet retail.
Jetted all the way down to Africa to take a look at stunning Morocco. I’ve all the time wished to wander the energetic souks and medinas.
Then, again to the USA to cruise down Route 66 in Flagstaff, Arizona. Capturing the allure of basic Americana, the great thing about the outside journey sprinkled with Olive the Greatest.
Closed out the yr with just a few scorching spots in Costa Rica. Showcasing Mercado Central, El Avion, after which a holistic twist of Pachamama—a treasure trove in Barrio Escalante.
