The Future of Rural Retail - Plunkett UK

Rural retail has been in significant decline in recent decades, but a new generation of farm shops, farmer’s markets and community-owned village shops has helped lead its revival. Ever changing consumer behaviours and trends increase pressure on rural retailers to evolve, innovate and adapt. This session explores how the future of rural retail might look to survive, and debate its potential to positively impact people, place and planet whilst creating inclusive and welcoming spaces for all.
