Localization is more than just a personalized welcome and goodbye. Today’s shoppers expect stores that reflect their neighborhoods, but also their culture and passions. When retailers embrace local, they create destinations that feel personal and irreplaceable. The payoff? Shoppers see the brand as a trusted community partner rather than just another chain.

In our August edition of the Retail Safari® Newsletter, we explored how brands are creating localized experiences, including…

  • Spotlighting Local Makers: With Lidl and Meijer
  • Exclusive to Here: With Starbucks, Adidas, Lululemon, and Trader Joe’s
  • Building Community Connections: With Cabela’s and Oh Hello, Co.
