Bridging the gaps with fractional retailing
At a time when the Covid -19 situation has forced everyone to take the virtual or online path for business and social interactions, a physical retail space that promotes local arts and handicrafts might seem like a distant reality .

If it can also come with new cost saving business models, then even better. After all, going forward cost and resource optimization will be one of the top priorities for most brands.
