Retail Focus 10/16/22 – Open-Air Shopping Center Dynamics; What Does Kroger Want with Albertsons?

Our interview guest is Ward Kampf, President of Northwood Retail. He joins the show to discuss how shopping centers (and consumer demand surrounding the centers) have changed over the last ten years, the dynamics of open-air shopping centers, and the importance of attracting local, small, and unique retailers and restaurants to properties. In news, Kroger enters into a deal to purchase Albertsons…we look at why, the deal details, and reasons regulators may potentially balk at the agreement.
