That’s a wrap!

A bittersweet post as Smart Retailer ceases publication with this July issue.

So many VERY VERY generous resources have made these many years (7? More?) of articles possible: Gina Lempa & Associates, and venture, and glitter, Retail Mavens, MC Design Collaboration, and countless others.
Thank you.
