Our teams support clients in strategic retail value creation.

international expansion

2.Format excellence
Active management of the store portfolio requires trade-off decisions: which stores should be upgraded?
Should new stores be opened? Which existing stores should be closed? We help retailers allocate their overall investments while also identifying the suitable format, layout, assortment, and positioning for existing and new stores.
3.Corporate finance In a consolidating industry, we work with retailers and holding companies to optimize their portfolios through mergers, acquisitions, and divestitures.
We help our clients increase overall returns through operational capital productivity and cost management, and we offer advanced retail risk management tools.
Retail Experience of the Future
As retailers anticipate reopening, they need more than a checklist of sanitization practices. They need an actionable vision that will set them apart. The good news is that innovative ways of operating were already being prototyped on a smaller scale before Covid-19. This moment of transition allows us to pivot toward a more resilient and meaningful future. Three principles retailers should consider as they rationalize and redesign their presence are: physical spaces as an escape, the store as a stage, and digital experiences as collective memory.
