    Retail News Archive

    128 reports, month by month. Open a month to see everything we published.

    About Retail News

    Retail News is the main hub for our daily reporting. Every story we publish about the retail industry lands here first, from grocery and department stores to luxury, marketplaces, health and beauty, and the technology running underneath all of it.

    We report on what retail leaders actually decide rather than what vendors announce. That means interviews with chief executives and operators, coverage of results and expansion plans, and analysis of the technology choices that change how a business runs. Where a claim comes from a company statement or a conference stage, we say so and link to it.

    The hub is organised three ways. The desk browse below sends you to the beat you follow. The archive lists every report we have published, month by month. The in-depth sections set out how the year is developing across the parts of retail we track most closely.

    State of Play

    • AI has moved from pilots to operating decisions. The recurring question in our interviews is no longer whether to deploy it, but which processes to hand over and which to keep human.

      Updated Sep 2026
    • European expansion is the live growth story, with value retailers and specialists opening across markets that used to be an afterthought.

      Updated Sep 2026
    • Physical stores are being rebuilt as content and service spaces rather than shelves, from customisation counters to in-store studios.

      Updated Sep 2026
    • Returns, private label and loyalty have become margin levers, not back-office admin.

      Updated Sep 2026

    Retail News in Depth

    What retail news actually means in 2026

    Retail news used to mean results announcements and store openings. It still includes those, but the decisions that move a retail business now sit somewhere less visible - in forecasting models, in supply chain routing, in how a returns process is priced, in whether a store team is given software that helps or hinders them.

    Our coverage follows that shift. We report the numbers when they matter, and we spend more of our time on the operating detail behind them: what a chief executive changed, why, and what it cost.

    How we report it

    Most of what we publish starts with a conversation. We interview chief executives, chief information officers, brand founders and operators, largely at industry events and on the record, and we build the story around what they say rather than around a press release.

    Where we use a company statement, a filing or a conference session as the source, we name it and link to it. We do not imply an interview we did not conduct, and quotes we cannot verify do not appear in quotation marks.

    Where to go deeper

    If you follow one part of the industry, the desk browse above is the fastest route. Grocery, luxury, department stores, health and beauty and marketplaces each carry their own running coverage.

    If you are researching a theme rather than a sector, the topic hubs collect our reporting across companies - AI in retail, agentic commerce, digital transformation, store operations and Asia-Pacific retail all pull from the same archive.
