A sneak peak at what’s featured in this week’s issue of Inside Retail Weekly….

While the media spotlight has been on the Dick Smith debacle throughout this month, Godfreys, another private equity retail project, is also struggling to meet its sales and earnings projections since listing on the Australian Stock Exchange in late 2014. Godfreys’ fate is by no means hanging by a thread – as Dick Smith’s had been – but there’s a hard road ahead for the vacuum retail chain. You can read all about in this week’s issue of Inside Retail Weekly.

In the first Inside Retail Weekly From The Source for 2016, this week we chat to Cathryn Wills, managing director and creative director of Mimco, about the women’s fashion and accessories retailer marking 20 years in business next month and further plans for 2016.

Our news section this week covers international expansion plans for both Wendys and RedBalloon; Bonds’ move into activewear; and a store milestone for Retail Food Group.

In Features, we shine the spotlight on Kikki.K’s new Chadstone store, which has recently been recognised as one of the global leaders in innovative retail spaces by WGSN.

You’ll find all of this, and much more, in Inside Retail Weekly Issue 2077.
