Take me to PSFK iQWashington, DC, and Philadelphia serve as economic and cultural anchors for their surrounding counties in the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States. Both cities are home to rising populations of students and young adults who are eager to embrace new retail concepts that offer convenience, excitement and inclusivity. As a result, retailers are experimenting with new store formats both in downtown and suburban locations, shrinking or expanding footprints and curating merchandise and services in order to best meet these shoppers’ new lifestyle needs.
