Brick-and-mortar is just getting started 💳

 

Startups are saving retail.

Brick-and-mortar spending is expected to grow by $36 billion over the next four years, and e-commerce by $50 billion, according to a study by Deloitte. But as new technology closes the gap between online browsing and in-store buying, spending could go even higher.

Mr Shah, keep track of your spending

 

The MetroCentre in Gateshead, north England is the UK’s (and Europe’s) biggest shopping centre. I got this GIF from my bank’s email about new text alerts that tell you when you’ve blown too much dough on the shopping extravaganza. Luckily, I’m not much of a shopaholic.

Black Friday rush

 

The US shopping sales of Black Friday have now become firmly established this side of the Puddle. Mad crushes of shoppers charging into stores and practically duelling with each other over cut-price blenders at 6 am. Ah no, I’ll sit this one out.

When we was younger we always took the stairs

An elderly shopper rides in style in what was probably her first ever encounter with a modern-day shopping centre escalator.

“Ooooh, Doris, these moving stairs are quite something!”
