Tesco “Pops Up” in Light of Smaller Stores

by Maggie Gilliam, Margaret Kremer, Friday, Jun 8, 2012

One of the major retail trends that RNG follows is the shift from big box to small box. As traditional big box retailers begin to adapt to this change by opening smaller, urban formats (such as Walmart Neighborhood Market and City Target) some retailers are harnessing another small box strategy to win in today’s highly saturated developed markets.

To do this, Home Depot has integrated technological elements like touchscreens and QR codes into the store experience.

The rapid population growth of Nigeria, already the world’s seventh most populous nation with 167 million people, presents significant opportunities for retailers: an increasing population, particularly the addressable population, means more consumers can participate in formal retail; however, the significant obstacles in terms of employment and infrastructure within the country will hinder the development, making it a long-term process.
