Kalibrate sees retail growth shifting toward location quality over store count in 2027
  • Kalibrate’s retail real estate analysis sees location quality, rather than store-opening volume, driving profitable retail growth in 2027.
  • Planned store openings in 2026 are approximately 15% below 2025 levels, according to the PwC report cited in the analysis.
  • Limited new supply supports property fundamentals, but strong leasing demand does not necessarily translate into profitable locations for individual retailers.
  • More selective expansion increases the importance of site-level sales forecasts, local demand analysis and assessing potential effects on existing stores.
