Recreational Equipment, Inc. (REI)

REI has found its new leader — and it didn’t have to look very far.

Several consumer trends are prompting retailers to provide online rental services.

REI is doubling down on rentals as it builds upon its longstanding commitment to making the outdoors more accessible and sustainable. It also is opening more stores.

PREIT has secured Cheesecake Factory as its dining anchor at Woodland Mall in Grand Rapids, just the second Michigan location for the popular restaurant chain.

Dick’s Sporting Goods is feeling the sales fallout from its decision not to sell some guns, but it’s not backing down.

Although Dick’s overall sales decline is partly down to a shorter trading period compared to last year, this does not explain all the deterioration.

The leader of one of the most ethical companies in retail has stepped down over a perceived conflict of interest.

The female executives highlighted in the fifth annual Chain Store Age “Top 10 Women in Retail Technology” report exemplify the innovation and leadership needed to succeed in today’s ever-changing retail environment.
