Grocery Store Growth /  by Duane Stiller

Aldi now has over 2,000 US stores, which is the third most grocery stores in the US. Amazon's Whole Foods has 500 stores. Now, Amazon is rolling out Amazon Fresh which is expected to be a game changer for the US grocery marketplace. The largest retailer Walmart has basically stopped adding US stores and is instead focusing is domestic expansion efforts on its e-commerce platform for delivery and curbside pick up. Please watch this two minute video of Walmart's US expansion to get an idea of just how fast Aldi and Amazon can grow their US base - it will blow your mind. New cool things are always coming. There is no retail apocalypse. Simba beats Scar!

The Retail Circle of Life /  by Mauricio Abela

Risk analysis: what if every financially weak big box tenant in the US went out of business? Big box retailers are 80% of the US retail platform. The way they go portends the state of the whole system. Most markets in the US are severed by about 100 big box brands – everything from Walmart to Walgreens.

Today, in each major US market, about 20 of the 100 big box companies are suffering financial stress. Many had problems well before COVID. Back in April of 2020, I realized that these weak tenants accounted for only about 6% of US retail space and, more surprisingly, they accounted for only 3% of the sales. If all the weak box retailers shut down, the remaining 80 retailers could easily absorb their sales.

About two thirds of these weak firms have already filed bankruptcy and most of them have reemerged with a fresh start and only a handful have been liquidated. A few others, like AMC Theaters have raised capital without bankruptcy. The system is very resilient. There is no retail apocalypse. It’s the circle of life – Simba defeats Scar.
