The 2022 holiday shopping season is well underway, and it seems that despite talk of a looming recession, shoppers are still heading to the malls and shopping centers in droves. Consumer demand seems strong for now, but as we all know, not a lot is certain in today’s economy! The retail landscape could change significantly after the peak holiday shopping season. Retail sales could slow down across many retail sectors, which could mean changes for those of you in the retail real estate business.
