First piece of news: Vincent is no longer the only one driving 20/CENT Retail! Elisa Servais is now joining the adventure and will actively contribute to content creation and business development. She brings her expertise, enthusiasm, and a perspective that perfectly complements that of Vincent Panneels. Another new development: every month, we'll bring you a recap of the key retail stories and trends that caught our attention. And this is the very first edition for The Retail Influencer podcast! In this inaugural "Monthly Recap", we take a closer look at several topics that have shaped recent retail news: • What's happening in Belgian food retail, where one player continues to stay under the radar while steadily moving forward and launching new initiatives. • The latest milestone for Newpharma with the introduction of online consultations. • The situation in Brussels, where French retailers continue to expand while the number of store closures keeps growing. • Upcoming industry events, including the DIY Summit in Amsterdam, where Thierry Coeman's new white paper will be unveiled for the very first time. We hope you'll enjoy this new format.
