An analysis by CBRE, a world leader in commercial real estate services, shows that despite the ongoing covidu-19 pandemic, new brands are still coming to the domestic retail market, in unprecedented numbers. There were 29 of them last year, which represents a year-on-year increase of 26%. This result is even significantly better compared to the ancestor year 2019. The main event last year was the Prague premiere of the Irish clothing and accessories store Primark on Wenceslas Square, and from the perspective of the High Street the opening of the Versace Italian luxury fashion boutique in Pařížská Street. With regard to the emerging trends, the opening of the so-called phygital store (from the English words physical and digital) of the partner companies eobuv.cz and Modivo in Smíchov, Prague, can also be considered a turning point. The new store, offering a wide range of products in the field of fashion, footwear and accessories, uniquely combines the advantages of the stone shop with the comfort of e-shops and is a harbinger of shopping in the near future.
