A bite into the future of retail In consumer trends this week, we look at changing consumer behaviour, the cultural shifts brands will be experiencing, Aki Kalliatakis' Tao of retail and the new opportunities Gavin Tagg expects for the shopping centre industry. In events, the inaugural Retail Fraud Show will be taking place this March in Cape Town, while Dion Chang will attempt to garner order from chaos at this year's first Flux Trends open session. And last but certainly not least, the Spur Corporation is looking to gain a bigger bite of the niche burger market by acquiring a majority stake in RocoMamas.
