Showrooming is becoming a problem for high street clothing retailers
The image of our high streets and town centres has become one of boarded-up shops and publicised failures of well-known chains. In the 1980s, out-of-town shopping centres began shifting the balance of retail away from the traditional high street. In recent times the growth of online shopping has changed our retail habits further, and with a dramatic increase in the use of the car to go shopping (64% of all shopping trips are by car) and the impacts of recession still being felt, the demise of the high street continues.
But is it all doom and gloom or is there a chance that UK high streets can be regenerated?
