Retail Tenant Challenges: Being Proactive with Big Box Vacancies As several large retailers like Walgreens, Rite Aid, and Big Lots face challenges, we're starting to see potential vacancies in the big box retail segment. These shifts could have a significant impact on property owners, making proactive planning essential. The key takeaway for owners? Assess your assets now and prepare for potential tenant turnover. By understanding your options early, you can mitigate risks and ensure a smoother transition if vacancies arise. Whether it's exploring backfill options or planning for rent adjustments, being prepared is crucial. Don’t wait until it's too late—stay ahead of the curve and protect your investments. #RetailRealEstate #PNWRealEstate #RetailInvestments

jonathan wants attention, and who am i to deny him? it’s important to understand that restricted comments are a proactive way of fostering a respectful community, especially when discussing complex issues social media can amplify voices, both positive and negative, but it’s not an “echo chamber” to protect a space from harmful, bad-faith engagement healthy communities set boundaries, and not everyone deserves or has earned a platform in every discussion there’s no rule stating that others must open their spaces to disrespectful comments or tolerate opinions intended to provoke–which is clearly the goal here regarding gaslighting, this take aligns with a classic tactic: framing respectful boundaries as if they’re a form of manipulation, or a weakness this type of comment can easily slide into dismissive or condescending territory that puts the poster on the defensive, creating a false narrative that boundaries are a flaw rather than a healthy choice that’s gaslighting finally, the neck tattoo point: lol just p!ss off visible tattoos aren’t a valid gauge of someone’s value or competence in their career and just like setting online boundaries, they’re a personal choice protecting this space from harmful, gaslighting, bad faith takes like this isn’t “living in an echo chamber”—it’s just protecting the people i care about from people who only intend to cause harm and get bent when they cant

Lessons I Learned from Working 10+ Years in Retail ➡️ Analyze Your Comp Year When I was 19, I got a job at a store I really wanted to work at. It was 2009, and I applied to work at this store that was coming to a major mall in Winnipeg. The store hadn’t opened yet, and helping set it up was an invaluable experience for me. The brand flew in three people from Toronto stores to assist us. One of the biggest lessons I learned was in the backroom, where I helped put up a big yearly chart that tracked the current year’s and last year’s sales, along with spaces for daily target sales, conversion goals, transaction goals, and highest single transaction sales. As I set up backroom office supplies, including this calendar, my store manager casually explained how our parent company set up our yearly and quarterly sales targets. She would then take those targets and split them up over months based on regional trends, traffic, and her experience working in this specific Winnipeg mall. She explained that since we didn’t have a comp year, this year would be the real benchmark for our store. I was fascinated by the data. It reminded me of the scoreboards and stats from growing up playing basketball. Here were our store’s target stats and our work cut out for us for the next 12 months. This experience taught me the importance of analyzing sales data and setting realistic, data-driven targets. Understanding how to break down annual goals into manageable monthly targets was crucial for our store’s success and became a fundamental lesson in my retail career. #LessonsILearnedFromRetail #Retail #Prairies
