In a roundtable format, retail experts share their perspectives on the retail landscape today and where we think the opportunities lie in the post-COVID world, with a robust conversation around the changing mindset and priorities of today’s consumer as states & countries begin to reopen, and how to parlay that as an opportunity in the next cycle for retail.

This conversation will focus around creative placemaking. Charlotte currently lags behind other cities of its scale with regard to a lack of robust retail in the CBD. So how can Charlotte take advantage of this retail reset, and the current consumer tolerance for engaging in test & try scenarios, to come out of this stronger than before? How can the city and developers ‘lean in’ to help their retail tenants? Can the identification of underutilized “flex zones” be leveraged to help restaurants & retailers achieve capacity while maintaining safe practices?
