- Sainsbury's reported lower first half profits and reduced expectations for the second half due to a decline in retail operating margin in a tough retail environment.
- However, the acquisition of Home Retail Group provides Sainsbury's with a platform for multi-channel growth and the ability to offer Argos products and services through over 200 collection points in Sainsbury's stores.
- Sainsbury's is optimistic about the potential of Home Retail Group to future-proof the business and accelerate its strategy to be a multi-product, multi-channel retailer.

The Power of the Pop-Up: An Inside Look at CBL's POP-UP ProgramCBL Properties
From global brands to local entrepreneurs to online businesses, retailers of all shapes and sizes are "popping up." Pop-up shops allow brands to experiment with physical space, test the market and increase brand exposure.
CBL Properties launched its first POP-UP Shop in April 2017 and since then, the REIT has expanded its POP-UP program to over 18 properties nationwide. This SlideShare offers an inside look at CBL's POP-UP program.

At CBL Properties, we are responding to the evolving retail market by actively executing against our redevelopment strategy. This SlideShare explains how we are transforming our properties from traditional, enclosed malls into suburban town centers by shrinking and strengthening our retail footprint and adding new, market-driven uses that resonate with the community.

Restaurant Monthly Update - January 2017Duff & Phelps
December marked the ninth month out of the past ten with declining sales for the restaurant industry. Both same-store sales and traffic growth deteriorated from November’s results, officially marking 2016 as the worst year of industry performance since 2009. Despite challenges in the sector, private equity investors with significant dry powder and strong, relatively inexpensive credit, will likely continue to fuel investment in innovative and rapidly expanding restaurant concepts.

Editor's Notes
‘IRI Companion Deck’ and ‘IRI Graphs Master Deck’ PowerPoint Templates
About the ‘IRI Companion Deck’ and the ‘IRI Graphs Master Deck’ templates
These templates contain two full libraries of IRI slides, including charts, to be used by all IRI employees when presenting internally or externally using PowerPoint. In the ‘IRI Companion Deck’ you will find slides for management and general information content and a selection of our most popular graphics. In the ‘IRI Graphs Master Deck’ you will find a more comprehensive library of charts to be used when presenting analysis and data to clients.
How should I use this PowerPoint deck?The key difference between the new companion deck and the former one is the addition of a master slides library that contains all the key slides that we need to use for consistency. The master slides have been designed in accordance with the new IRI corporate graphic guidelines.
So when you use this IRI PowerPoint deck, if you want to add slides, you can:
A. either copy and paste the slides from the normal presentation – what we have done up until now, but you have to be careful to not alter the style.
B. or please proceed as below:
Click ‘new slide’ on the top menu bar, then select an empty slide (the 5th one for normal or the 6th one for a slide with diagrams and graphs in ‘IRI Directly Usable Slides’) in the master templates library.
Then, go on this new slide and click on ‘Display’ on the top menu bar.
Select ‘Master Slides’ (5th option), select the slide template you want to add from the part 2.
Select and copy all the content (not the title).
Close the ‘Master Slides’ session button on the top right of the menu bar.
Go to your empty slide and paste.
This process works for master slides from part 2 of the master library, called ‘IRI Companion template library’. To add a new slide from part 1, called ‘IRI Directly Usable Templates’, you just have to go to ‘New Slides’ and select the slide you want to use.

Last year there was good news for household incomes – they actually rose in 2015 and In real terms, average income is back at the pre-crisis level. However, there is some evidence that wage increases slowed toward the end of 2015

‘IRI Companion Deck’ and ‘IRI Graphs Master Deck’ PowerPoint Templates
About the ‘IRI Companion Deck’ and the ‘IRI Graphs Master Deck’ templates
These templates contain two full libraries of IRI slides, including charts, to be used by all IRI employees when presenting internally or externally using PowerPoint. In the ‘IRI Companion Deck’ you will find slides for management and general information content and a selection of our most popular graphics. In the ‘IRI Graphs Master Deck’ you will find a more comprehensive library of charts to be used when presenting analysis and data to clients.
How should I use this PowerPoint deck?The key difference between the new companion deck and the former one is the addition of a master slides library that contains all the key slides that we need to use for consistency. The master slides have been designed in accordance with the new IRI corporate graphic guidelines.
So when you use this IRI PowerPoint deck, if you want to add slides, you can:
A. either copy and paste the slides from the normal presentation – what we have done up until now, but you have to be careful to not alter the style.
B. or please proceed as below:
Click ‘new slide’ on the top menu bar, then select an empty slide (the 5th one for normal or the 6th one for a slide with diagrams and graphs in ‘IRI Directly Usable Slides’) in the master templates library.
Then, go on this new slide and click on ‘Display’ on the top menu bar.
Select ‘Master Slides’ (5th option), select the slide template you want to add from the part 2.
Select and copy all the content (not the title).
Close the ‘Master Slides’ session button on the top right of the menu bar.
Go to your empty slide and paste.
This process works for master slides from part 2 of the master library, called ‘IRI Companion template library’. To add a new slide from part 1, called ‘IRI Directly Usable Templates’, you just have to go to ‘New Slides’ and select the slide you want to use.
