Before we bid adieu to 2018 we’ve rounded up our most popular articles from the past 12 months. 

Overall, the articles on our top-5 list represents one common theme. Retail is changing...and changing fast. The brick-and-mortar store of the future will look and feel a lot different than what we've been used to and those that don't buy into that thinking will be left behind in the dust (looking at you Sears and Toys R' Us)
