Property firm Landsec aims to deliver more inclusive retail experiences with initiatives which cater to the needs of autistic individuals. People with autism struggle to shop in busy and loud retailers, so organisations are finding ways to design spaces that guarantee a more manageable experience.

For the 11 million Britons who are deaf or hard of hearing, supermarkets can sometimes feel like inaccessible spaces. To promote inclusivity, Sainsbury’s is raising awareness about the challenges faced by deaf shoppers and encouraging staff and shoppers to learn British Sign Language.

Aussies shoppers are creatures of habit, preferring to visit one-stop-shops both online and offline where they can pick up all they need at once. Cashback platform ShopBack is tapping into this behaviour by providing a centralised, streamlined way to get rewards from a range of brands.

Over the past decade, a growing number of people have traded trolleys for home delivery. But while the online retail experience continues to evolve, less is happening in-store. Coop Italia is hoping to change this with a flagship store that it’s touting as ‘the supermarket of the future’.
