Rite-Aid-Banning-California

PHILADELPHIA — Rite Aid Corp. (NYSE: RAD) has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection and has received financial commitments totaling roughly $3.4 billion from lenders to support business operations as the company works to restructure its debt. The Philadelphia-based pharmacy and convenience store chain did not say whether it would immediately close any stores as a direct result of this filing, just that it would continue “assessing its footprint and closing underperforming stores.” However, in September, The Wall Street Journal reported that Rite Aid had proposed to its creditors a restructuring and rightsizing plan that would involve closing 400 to 500 of its 2,100 or so stores nationwide. The bankruptcy filing has long been expected within the industry, as Rite Aid’s position has grown more precarious in the wake of numerous lawsuits alleging the pharmacy’s role in supplying opioid drugs that contributed to overdose deaths. That legal activity reached its crescendo earlier this year when the U.S. Justice Department formally lodged a complaint against Rite Aid. According to CNN, the government alleged at that time that Rite Aid had “knowingly filled unlawful prescriptions for controlled substances.” According to CNBC, Rite Aid ended its most recent fiscal quarter on June 3 …

— By Nellie Day — Everyone is tired of hearing about the challenging lending climate — no one more so than investors and developers who would like to keep the gravy train moving.  “I think the glory days of the last four to five years are now tempered with the increased interest rates,” says Jordan Schnitzer, president of Portland, Ore.-headquartered Schnitzer Properties. “I also believe the hyper growth of big box industrial developments over 500,000 square feet is grinding to a slower halt. A significant amount of that growth has been from Walmart, Amazon and other large retailers that now may have enough space for the next several years before they enter a growth phase again.” So, what’s an industrial player to do when interest rates are high and the industry darlings that have been so active for so long now say their needs have been met? You pivot.  “While it’s easier to collect a single check from a 500,000-square-foot tenant, we would rather roll up our sleeves and work harder to get 50 tenants from a 500,000-square-foot building,” Schnitzer continues.  New Strategies For A New Era Schnitzer notes that his firm began to see cap rate compression on Western-based industrial …

DFW-North-Texas-Retail-Developer-Panel

By Taylor Williams Brick-and-mortar retail has quietly, yet emphatically resurrected itself from the e-commerce- and COVID-induced death knell, bolstered by multiple years of low supply growth that have put a premium on quality space and allowed landlords to zero in on what truly constitutes a winning concept. This notion is inherently subjective and difficult to quantify. But in Dallas-Fort Worth, retail owners and operators say that authenticity — as defined by uniqueness of the offerings and adherence to and reflection of local culture — is paramount to success. From the presentation and packaging of products and services to utilization of local architectural styles to creating a certain shopping or dining ambiance, the ability to capture the authenticity of the market is crucial. Consumers and landlords can afford to be choosy, and they won’t waste time at stores, restaurants or entertainment venues that feel cookie-cutter, phony or out-of-place. But retail landlords can ill-afford to do deals with tenants that simply look the part but lack the financial ability to pay rents, which are growing in urban locations where availability of space remains tight. Monetary due diligence remains critical, but as often as not, there is considerable overlap between the financial solvency …
