The changing retail industry and retail landscapes: Case of the rise of Primark Brand

Abstract

Research investigates the spatial term and demonstration of the recent reformation of the retail industry in the Primark Brand. Over the last decade, the retail industry has gone from side to side major changes which has resulted in the appearance and intensification of domestic and international business power within retailing. Here we focus on this latest float, implying a consequential tendency towards increasing retail awareness and size of person retailers, both with frequent consequences for the civilization. We examine some of the structural changes in the production, evaluate spatial behaviors of large retailers which are dissimilar from those of small retailers which they have started to restore, and discuss the new spatial indentation that large retailers seem to initiate to the cities with their huge and free-standing stores, multiple establishments sprinkled throughout the urban system, and large purpose-built shopping center expansions.
