Top 55 Retail Trends in July

From Automated Grocery Stores to Orange Wine Shops

— July 17, 2021 — Business
Some of the highlights of the top July 2021 retail ideas include stores (online and off) that implement cutting-edge technology, sustainable initiatives and next-generation experiences for Gen Z.

With in-store refill stations, recycling centers and the use of environmentally friendly materials, many retailers are making their commitments to the environment visible before consumers' eyes. The first physical retail space from Google in New York City is an example of this, thanks to sustainable elements woven throughout the warm and welcoming tech store design.

New retail experiences are being created for a new generation, as seen in Yoox's new retail hub for digital natives called Hi_GuyZ!, as well as Afterpay's GenderFree shop to support authentic and creative self-expression.
