Highlights
Out-of-town as a location is set to grow its share of total retail spend over the next five years. As the recession has taken hold, the high proportion of non-discretionary food and general merchandise stores out-of-town has seen it perform resiliently compared to more discretionary and wants spend orientated town centres.
The big four grocers continue to extend their dominance of the location, with the grocery sector as a whole accounting for 70.9% of all out-of-town sales in 2009. Food & grocery was easily the fastest growing sector in both 2008 and 2009, boosted substantially by food price inflation and the grocers further expanding their non-food operations.
Casualties and the slowing store expansion of the major players out-of-town are creating opportunities for others, with spiralling vacancy rates pressurising landlords into offering attractive deals on properties. These new and expanding players will help revive the market.
