Merchants meet changed shopping landscape
Retailers will have to factor in shifts in the way consumers shop as they move from recession-era survival mode to planning for the future. As online shopping continues to become a reality, many chains might find themselves with more stores than in-person shopping will support, experts say. The Wall Street Journal (12/28)
