We thought retail was tough and evolving. Then the worldwide coronavirus pandemic hit. And now, in the midst of this crisis, we are seeing even more changes and impacts to the retail industry. But after Covid-19 subsides, how will retail change and what does that mean for your retail operation. Oliver Banks explores 4 ways that this virus will have a lasting impression on the retail market.

Listen in to this episode to discover:

  • What will be the key change in the grocery market.
  • If shops will decline or grow in the long term.
  • The single thing that you can do to help – starting right now.

Also in this episode, I’m launching Retail Transformation Live – a brand new online, virtual summit, tackling the biggest challenges in retail – including but not limited to coronavirus.
