The rise of remote working presents opportunities for local retail but may require adjustments to new shopping behaviors.
For c-stores, for instance, fewer workers heading back and forth from work is negatively impacting both the breakfast daypart (6 a.m. to 9 a.m.) as well as sales of beer and snacks during the after-work daypart (4 p.m. to 7 p.m.), according to traffic analysis by VideoMining.
