Personalization key to localizing global brands
What this means: When the U.S. retail market was dominated by regional brands, building retail environments around local communities was inherent in the retail DNA.

The industry is at a crossroads once again, and even large retail corporations are beginning to understand that maximizing local opportunities and personalizing services and assortments are key to winning.
