Summary of issues addressed so far

Coop vs. Migros-Genossenschafts-Bund - The Battle of Swiss Retail Giants In the Swiss retail showdown, Coop currently leads the pack against Migros. How is Coop managing to outpace the iconic orange giant? Join us as we explore the strategies that have put Coop ahead. Are you team Coop or Migros? According to Coop CEO Philipp Wyss there’s no such thing as “Coop kids”, highlighting the unique appeal of Migros’ long-standing private label brands. Despite this, many Migros loyalists are beginning to show less love for the retailer. Under the leadership of Migros CEO Mario Irminger the company faces significant challenges with substantial market share losses in its core business. In contrast, Coop is already opening newly renovated stores while Migros still strategizes over a unified supermarket format. Coop’s proactive renovations and expansion strategy contrast starkly with Migros’ delayed updates and perceived stagnation. Coop’s holistic and long-term approach to remodeling has paid off with a fresh, market-like feel in its stores, producing many of their products in-house. As Migros attempts to catch up, the differences become increasingly apparent to customers, who are quick to notice the disparities in store experience.

📢 In the News 📢 The $40M partnership between Beyond Inc. and The Container Store could be a game-changer in retail—though it won’t be without its challenges!

But it’s not all smooth sailing—both brands are navigating some major shifts. Catch the full article here: https://lnkd.in/gWxNgwvM

Excellent analysis of the retail space in Mexico and how our malls keep growing while they wither away in most of the US. I recently helped with a boots-on-ground report on this subject for a US Client. Part of my conclusions was that you cannot underestimate Mexican marketplace culture, that predates the Spanish. One could trace a line form the Tlatelolco marketplace to stories like Plaza Sendero. By the way, not only the lower segments are thriving. Malls hosting upper-segmenmt retailers are also growing. Compare the approach Liverpool took to the "store within a store" with the one at Best Buy (successful) and JCP (failure) and melded it with a financial arm. Then numbers for Walmex vs Walmart, Palacio de Hierro vs Saks. Sears Mexico vs Sears USA. Then Google "La Plaza Mall" in McAllen Texas and their $180 in 8 years' expansions. #mexicoretail
