A State of Retail Event

This two-hour luncheon will include a presentation of an in-depth retail study commissioned by Retail Alliance and conducted by Main Street America. The study analyzed current sales statistics and retail trends, blending them with national and state findings from their Small Business Survey of micro and small brick-and-mortar retailers across the U.S, to provide an in-depth look at the State of Retail in the U.S. and, in particular, Virginia.

In addition to the research results, we will also present the 2024 Outlook on Virginia legislation that impacts the retail sector.

The event will be held at the close of the Virginia Economic Developers Association (VEDA) Fall Conference, being held at the Renaissance, Portsmouth on September 22, 2023 from 11:15am – 2:00pm.
