These February 2020 new ventures trends range from toy-themed amusement parks to grocery selection robots.
When it comes to entertainment, Hasbro's new partnership with The West Edmonton Mall stands out and will see the mall's in-house park Galaxyland transformed with new activities and experiences. These new additions will be directly tied to the toy brand's product offerings -- like Monopoly and Play-Doh -- and will include rides as well as food and retail activations.
Tim Hortons' Boutique Cafe is another notable example and recently opened its doors in Toronto’s Financial District. The cafe offers an elevated take on Tim Hortons' casual and homestyle menu and boasts a contemporary and sleek interior. Hot sauce subscription Bespoke Post Scorch Box and Loma Linda's microwavable chipotle bowls round off this list and speak to Millennial consumers desire for accessible versions of artisan food offerings.
