To save Maplin and Toys R Us, let them die

Check out this LinkedIn post by Maz Cohen, Founder and CEO, Wisher, where she argues that, in the wake of Maplin and Toys R Us entering into administration, the retail sector needs to start from scratch. 

“The store of the future will become the most powerful media channel available, offering customer experiences that are the most profitable product a retailer can sell. But to get there, retail as we know it must die,” Cohen argues.

The post also includes extracts from an article by Doug Stephens – “the most thought provoking essay in retail”.
