- Retail landlord Macerich this weekend is launching a concept known as BrandBox, a place where young brands can have their own stores, at Tysons Corner Center in the Washington, D.C., area.
- Macerich says it will take BrandBox to other malls and will continue to roll out new locations, as retailers like Sears, Toys R Us, Mattress Firm and Claire’s shut stores.
- Other malls are experimenting with similar spaces that house online brands together on a rotating basis, giving those brands perks like inventory tracking technology and marketing.
