QUOTES: “For those brick and mortar retailers who have not chosen to change, it’s going to be a real challenge.” “The buyers also are really leveraging technology moreso than ever, so that’s where the retailers now have to be very very careful about what they’re promising and what they’re doing. “This is the time, for any of the retailers paying attention to what I’m saying, it’s the time to do a strengths and weaknesses analysis.”
