Could this experimental Texas store be the future of brick-and-mortar retail?

The convenience of online shopping may be great for consumers, but it's not so good for traditional brick-and-mortar stores. Now, there is an experiment underway near Dallas that could be a model for the store of the future. Janet Shamlian reports.

A lot of hipster stores already look like that here in Los Angeles.

That's very very different and I like it. My plan is still a bit different. I online shop but I love brick and mortar. One of my biggest problems with online shopping is I also return items a lot. Also, brick and mortar offer socialized experiences as well as personalized experiences and I'm interested in merging such experiences with innovative technology. I think socializing is good for your phycological well being. I haven't decided on a inventory plan but I love the Nike store in Paris. I love how they merged e-commerce with the instore experience.

So, basically a glorified Starbucks.

No Thank you.

Never knew that spying on people could be so profitable.

Nordstrom’s has a concept that’s been on for years like this! Many malls in CA as well. It enables small business owners to create a presence without the overwhelming startup costs and overhead commitment.

TBH, I'd be ok with this if I could see what information the store has on me. Or at the very least, be able to request the deletion of my data.

A great place for homeless people to relax.

[@e.m.tanner179]

So I don't get it. Does the shopper actually purchase the physical products at this location? Or is this just a showroom, as a way to check out the stuff in person - then you pull out your phone and place your order ? The one guy said it's a great place to"meet people". Really? LOL I see everyone on their laptops and no one talking to each other.

What about petty thief's /pilferage/ mishandling in the stores

[@keheungan]

I may go there and if I find nice item I would check online if there's better price. The camera will record me checking items but not purchasing huehue

[@wisemano7043]

nothing special about it

[@oqlapsldim]

I have already been doing this with Best Buy for years 😋
