President of GLP says that the success of e-commerce is causing malls to create virtual stores and collection centers
The mall is not the same anymore. Pressured by the advance of online commerce that has changed the way people shop, whether in the physical store, on the cell phone screen or even mixing several sales channels, the temple of consumption is reacting to survive.
In addition to offering more and more services, space for leisure and convenience, many malls are taking on a new function: they are also starting to become a kind of mini-centre for the distribution of goods purchased in online stores and in the marketplace, which is the virtual mall, including the malls themselves.
