Why Retail Stores Still Matter in an Online World with Jeffrey Rosenberg

A retail store is no longer just a place where someone walks in and buys something. Jeff Rosenberg explains why physical locations can also support online sales and help retailers reach customers in several different ways.

Jeff is part of the third generation of an 80 year family business focused on retail real estate. Big V owns and operates open air shopping centers across the United States, with an approximately $2.5 billion portfolio and roughly 55 to 60 assets.

Jeff explains what open air retail looks like today, including large centers such as The Rim in San Antonio. He also talks about new construction in Anna, Texas, where Big V is developing projects that include Kroger and Target.

A big part of the conversation focuses on how retail has changed. Jeff describes how stores now work as part of a larger system that includes online ordering, delivery, store pickup, and curbside pickup.

He also explains why Big V recently opened its business to accredited investors through Big V Direct.
