EXPANDING RETAILERS

"Expanding Retailers" is an annual directory providing profiles and expansion plans of chain stores in the U.S. and Canada. Much of the listings, organized according to retail category, and containing names, addresses, telephone and fax numbers or the real estate contacts, comes from consolidating information printed the previous year in our associate publication, the twice-monthly newsletter "Shopping Center Digest"; this data is updated and organized, and supplemented with the section called "Leading Retailers" from the latest edition of the "Directory of Major Malls".

There are several indexes included, listing the chain stores by Retail Category [Apparel, Shoes, Jewelry, etc.] and by Name of the Company [The Limited, Wal-Mart, Zale Corp etc.]

"Expanding Retailers," the 12th Edition is available for $149, 50% off-only $75 - for paid subscribers to "Shopping Center Digest".
