Retail
In recent years, the shift from "things" to "ideas" has taken hold at commercial establishments, and these establishments are changing from places of consumption to places that offer encounters and experiences. At the same time, the increasing popularity of online shopping and the spread of the pandemic have once again called into question the essential meaning of going out to real stores. From now on, commercial establishments must become a "third place" separate from home or work where people can spend time in safety and comfort － places that provide value that can only be experienced by being there, and where they can have rewarding encounters with things, ideas and people.
