Retail HR trends plus a sneak peak to the upcoming RCC Retail HR conference, local main-street retailers and the power of collaboration, plus Retail This Week looking at Sobeys + Farm Boy strategy and the opening of Hudson Yards in New York.
Two back-to-back great interviews in this week's edition! First up, Sonny Brar, MC and session moderator for Retail Council of Canada's upcoming Retail HR Forum on April 17 (http://rcchrconference.ca/ ) joins us to talk about Retail HR trends and give us a sneak peak into the great sessions planned for the event.
Next, we catch up with RCC alumni Andrew Siegwart who joins us for the first of a two-part interview chatting about his (not so new) gig at Blue Mountain Village Association, working with local main-street retailers, the essence of collaboration, and the importance of the personal connection in tourism retail.
Lastly we cover off Retail This Week, including Sobeys talking about the importance of their recent Farm Boy acquisition to their urban growth strategy, and the opening of Hudson Yards in New York, the massive 28 acre development featuring one million square feet of retail and the city's first Neiman Markus luxury department store.
