Top 30 Retail Ideas in October

As online shopping continues to disrupt the traditional retail model, the October 2019 retail trends reveal that many brands are finding new ways to make their brick-and-mortar stores work.

Pioneered by brands like Amazon, cashier-less stores are becoming a more frequent sight in some urban areas. For instance, the Dutch supermarket giant Albert Heijn recently opened up a completely unstaffed mini supermarket that allows shoppers to gain access by using their bank card.

As the October 2019 retail trends highlight, Starbucks has also made a move to go cashier-less, but in a very different way. Starbucks recently opened a pick-up-only store in Manhattan for mobile app users. Though the new store does have staff, these staff are solely dedicated to making drinks, which provides a speedier and more efficient experience for customers.
