The need to reimagine retail started as far back as the changing consumers' lifestyle, globalisation and the advent of digitalisation. The recent pandemic catapulted and realised the change faster and stronger! In the past year, consumers experienced many changes including shopping from different brands and in different formats. Many shared that they are prepared to continue with their changes, post-pandemic. How should retail players respond?
