Downtown retail will never be the same (ft. Conrad Kickert)
Here's an idea: Because of the changing nature of what retail is, the new Gucci store coming to downtown Detroit doesn't have to sell very much directly to be a success.
There's been a lot of talk about downtown Detroit's retail situation as some businesses have closed up shop or left.
But, it looks like it may be part of a bigger shift nationally and internationally around what retail in downtowns is and what kinds of things activate those spaces.
