🖥️ Upcoming Webinar: International Brands Reshape U.S. Retail 📆 Thursday, October 29, 2026 • 2:00 – 3:00 pm ET International retail brands are in their most aggressive U.S. expansion push yet, driven by intensifying competition and maturing consumer markets at home and pulled by American demand for their concepts. From bakery cafés, boba, and hot pot to collectibles, beauty, and value variety formats, these brands are taking space in malls, strips, and urban corridors at a pace few categories can match, often with sales productivity that surprises their landlords.
