Research shows that this recession, even after a recovery, will have long-term effects on consumers’ values, spending habits and lifestyle choices. So how can location-based businesses such as shopping centers, retail, and out-of-home entertainment and leisure destinations adapt to this new grounded consumer to prosper in the future?
