GROWTH AND OPPORTUNITY IN
RETAIL
The days of basic brick and mortar stores with analogue cash registers have long passed us. Consumer trends, in store behaviour, store technology and retail presentation are changing and owners in the retail business have to stay on track, adapt, or face the risk of being left behind.
A provider of both skilled and unskilled jobs, our economy relies on the further expanse of this core industry. A growing middle class is enabling our local retailers in expansion both geographically and within their target markets. While slow, our steady GDP growth is sure to benefit retail investors and business owners.
