Lisbon Street Shopping The surge of High Street Retail in Lisbon
3
If it’s true that Lisbon is in vogue, it’s also true that high street retail is a trend that’s here to stay.
This is due not only to the growing number of tourists who enjoy visiting and shopping in our city, but also to Portuguese consumers who, while recognising the quality and convenience of shopping centres, also value the experience of buying in high street shops and discovering new concepts, while exploring and enjoying their city, which has become extremely modern and cosmopolitan.
Amendments made to the urban lease law in 2012 also got this market moving, by enabling buildings in bad condition to be traded and subject to regeneration, producing shops on the ground floors of buildings, that satisfy the demand and needs of brands that wish to enter or expand in the national retail market.
One need only stroll through Lisbon to discover the difference compared with a few years back. New brands, new concepts, renovated shops, restaurants and many outdoor patios are the most visible signs of a city undergoing transformation. And not only international brands choose the streets of Lisbon to open shops, but there are also several Portuguese entrepreneurs who emerge all over the city, striving to develop concepts that are innovative, well-positioned, with an engaging design, outstanding marketing and that often sell “national creations”, showcasing and exporting the best this country has to offer.
Another very interesting outcome is that each segment has found its place and target, creating retail clusters that are increasingly consolidated and well defined on the city’s map.
Luxury goods, for example, found their preferred address on Avenida da Liberdade, where the number of renowned international chains continues to rise, partly due to growing demand from foreigners of Brazilian, Chinese, Russian and Angolan origin.
Almost acting as an extension of Avenida da Liberdade, Rua Castilho emerges with predominantly premium brands, above all in women’s fashion. This area’s success is due to the union of its main retailers
Forewordwho came together to create the Castilho Fashion Street concept, which promotes trade through various initiatives.
Chiado is the trendiest, most fashionable and cosmopolitan part of the capital, where tradition and modernity, national and international brands, premium and mass-market shops, tourists and Lisboners, coexist. Demand greatly surpasses supply, and those who want to have a space here must be willing to pay the highest rent on the market.
Next to Chiado we find Baixa, once the epicentre of Lisbon’s trade, and which is gradually coming back to life, not only due to the countless number of tourists who stroll along Rua Augusta, this area’s main axis, but also to the outpour of a growing number of Portuguese consumers; if nothing else, because the restaurants and patios in the newly renovated Terreiro do Paço are now an excellent attraction.
These days, in terms of available spaces and retail concepts, Príncipe Real represents everything that is innovative and different in the city. The Embaixada and Entre Tanto buildings, former mansions where originality and entrepreneurship have merged to produce a surprising space, further establish Príncipe Real as a shopping destination with a unique charm.
We cannot end this tour without mentioning the most surprising area to emerge in Lisbon. This is Cais do Sodré/São Paulo, where someone, one day, had a wild idea: using little resources, regenerate a bar that, without denying its past (a former brothel), can be frequented by people of all ages, at any time of night – the renowned Pensão Amor. This area was further invigorated with the recently opened Mercado da Ribeira, and the inauguration of the new EDP headquarters will breathe even more life into the location.
There is much more to be said about high street retail in Lisbon, and the optimism and drive that characterise it. This is what we talk about in the following pages, which I invite you to read with undivided attention.

International retailer ‘road mapping’ is becoming increasingly focused on cities, as cross border barriers fall and as retailers chase diversification and growth. At the same time, retailers are under growing pressure to improve profitability and margins and structural changes emerge due to the rise of multi-channel retailing. All of these factors have led to the development of expansion strategies that are increasingly cautious, selective and rational.
The relative attractiveness of cities to international retailers is based on a combination of numerous complex factors: market size, maturity of the market, resilience and growth prospects, adjacencies and market familiarity, competition, real estate transparency and risk are meticulously analysed by international retailers.
We present below the main conclusions of the study “Destination Europe 2015” produced by the JLL – EMEA team, which analyses the presence of the 250 international retailers in the key European markets (57 cities).

Retailer appetite for the best space across Europe remains strong and is extremely resistant to economic cycles. Many top-tier retailers will accept flagship space in iconic locations, and nothing less.
London stills the most attractive city for international retailers, standing out not only due to the market’s size and maturity, but to its high degree of market transparency.
Moscow and Istanbul have become Europe’s success stories, as no other city attracted as many new entrants as these two markets have over the past two years.
Lisbon ranks as the 23rd most attractive location for international retailers in Europe, placing ahead of other European capitals like Dublin, Stockholm and Budapest.
Paris commands the highest rents for international retailers, followed by London and Zurich. Market maturity clearly influences prime retail levels. But Bond Street in London tops the luxury rental table, followed by Paris and Moscow.

Zara and H&M have the greatest retailer coverage across Europe.
American retailers Michael Kors and 7 For All Mankind are the most expansive retailers as well as the European Superdry, Cos, Ecco and Hugo Boss.
USA is the largest exporter, surpassing Italy which was driven mainly by luxury brands exports.
The Body Shop and Lush cosmetics retailers also rank in the top 10. Both use a franchise model, which provides retailers with a quick and low risk means of increasing coverage. In addition, the need for small retail units, combined with relatively affordable products, allows both retailers to export their brand successfully with relative ease across many markets.

Top 10 Luxury Retailers(% coverage of Europe’s key markets)
Although global luxury markets are growing steadily, luxury retailers are having to adapt to structural change and the new virtual world in particular. Specifically, this means dealing with new levels of market complexity, accounting for new kinds of buying behaviour, pushing into new markets, evaluating different business models,and doing more with digital technology.
Luxury brands Max Mara and Louis Vuitton have the highest presence amongst luxury retailers in the key European cities.
Expansive luxury retailers include Rolex, BCBG Max Azria, as well as La Perla, Longchamp and Prada, which have been in expansive mode in the last two years.
London leads the rankings in terms of luxury brand presence, marginally ahead of Paris. The growth market of Moscow lies in third position, followed by Milan, Rome and Istanbul.
The leading luxury houses are generally eyeing expansion opportunities, with the likes of LVMH, Kering and in particular Richemont actively seeking space in the right locations.

In a world that is global and highly competitive, every city and every region must necessarily stand out, for its difference, for what makes it special. It is that difference that makes it more attractive to those who are looking for a destination for their holiday, for shopping, studying, work, investment or any other purpose.
A city’s retail can, and should, be one of the distinguishing and differentiating elements between cities. Trade has always played an extremely important role throughout Lisbon’s history, and it continues to occupy a prominent position in the city’s economic, social and cultural life.
Positioning retail as both a city’s differentiating feature and an economic activity that generates employment, demands the coordination of different and complementary measures.
The Lisbon Municipality (CML) has supported a wide variety of initiatives to drive local retail, some developed by the Council itself, others organised by the numerous Trade Associations in the city, and others still by Public or Private Institutions. The support provided differs greatly depending on the event or initiative, and can range from institutional support from the Municipality, to providing real-time licenses or permits to occupy public space or change traffic, and using the Municipality’s means to disseminate and promote activities that are important for the city.
Considering the particular importance the retail sector has in our economy, it is vital that we support projects that can attract new publics and new consumers. Thus, promoting Lisbon as an international shopping destination is a strategic axis in the Municipality’s activity.
Lisbon DestinationIn this sense, I would like to highlight some projects we are developing and which we believe will be crucial to Lisbon’s local trade in the future.“Lisbon Shopping Destination” – the main goal is to position Lisbon as an international shopping destination (serves as a link between Lisbon’s tourism potential and the local trade and economy) and organise the city’s retail districts by driving retail areas and neighbourhoods with distinguishing profiles and identities, complementing these areas with the local cultural, gastronomic and economic attractions. We provide tourists who come to Lisbon with information on commercial routes and premium shops, and promote the various consolidated areas/districts in the city, on several levels, as well as disseminating economic/commercial trends.
Due to the challenges traditional retailers have faced, we must also note the CML’s support in promoting entrepreneurship among the retail sector through the initiative Startup Lisboa Commerce – a business incubator for the retail, tourism and services sectors that supports the development of new ideas and trends – with approximately 30 startups established (and more than 80 jobs created), this is a growing project with a network of partnerships and support structures to monitor and develop new ventures, which aims to minimise risk and maximise the success potential.
Another project that gives direct support to small retailers is Lisboa Empreende – a partnership with CASES, the entity that manages the Programa Nacional de Microcrédito (National Microcredit Program), whose goal is to drive the City’s economy by encouraging people to create their own business. This project provides access to experts who accompany the entrepreneurs throughout the entire process of creating a business (idea, business plan, financing and implementation), as well as a network of partners who facilitate the whole process. The businesses may also receive additional support or tax exemptions in their first year of activity.
“The promotion of Lisbon as an international shopping destination is a strategic axis in the Municipality’s activity.”

We are also dedicated to the urban regeneration of commercial spaces and structures that are vacant/abandoned, thereby enabling their use for economic activities (ex: Mercado da Ribeira, Mercado Campo Ourique, Mercado Forno Tijolo, Hospital do Desterro).
The city of Lisbon is already positioning itself as a retail option of great quality and diversity on many levels (with awareness of this quality and diversity growing internationally), namely in the luxury niche, gourmet food products, wines from the Lisbon region, designer products, and manufactured products using different materials, such as cork yarn for clothing, soaps, etc.
Thus Lisbon’s retail is diversifying, incorporating innovation and design, entering new fields of business, specialising.
We must encourage developers and appeal to their creativity and entrepreneurship and, in the current economic context, take the global market into account. We have good examples of good ideas that have generated businesses with great international potential.
The dynamics we have seen in Lisbon give us cause for optimism regarding the future of local trade, because they indicate how our entrepreneurs are capable of rising to the current challenges.

Portugal is without doubt in vogue, and Lisbon is in the limelight of global tourism. History, tradition, modernity, beauty, beaches, climate, cuisine, charm, make this a unique destination in Europe, and at highly affordable prices. Portugal won 29 awards in the World Travel Awards 2015.
Condé Nast Traveller named Portugal the best country in the world to visit, and Lisbon was chosen as Europe’s Leading City Break Destination by the Word Travel Awards and by the Amadeus & WTM Travel Experience Awards. The city also rose to 9th place in the world ranking of cities chosen to host international meetings and conferences, produced by the ICCA (International Congress & Convention Association). Porto was also distinguished by Lonely Planet as the best of the Top 10 European travel destinations.

American website Weatherwise.org considered Lisbon the city with the 6th best climate, making it one of the most comfortable major cities in the world.

From the historic centres of Lisbon and Porto to the Algarve’s beaches, Portugal offers great growth potential for tourism, which is also reflected in the country’s retail market, receiving much attention from many international brands. Visitors from emerging countries such as China, Russia, Brazil and Angola, whose number of tourists has increased significantly in recent years, consider Lisbon a shopping destination, not only due to a lack of variety sometimes felt in their own countries, but also because the prices charged in Portugal are generally lower.
Portugal is increasingly establishing itself as a tourism destination, displaying great growth potential in this sector. According to World Tourism Organization (WTO), in 2015 the Portugal tourism is growing three time more than in the rest of the world in terms of foreign arrivals, assuming itself as one of the main economic drivers.

Although shopping centres are still the main shopping choice among Portuguese consumers, interest in high street retail is here to stay. With the rise in the number of tourists and a change in Portuguese consumption habits, the “street” is increasingly asserting itself as a strategic location and expansion channel for national and international retailers.
Indeed, consumption patterns are changing. Proximity and the “experience” are increasingly important to consumers who need to save time and money, and at the same time are progressively more informed and savvy due to the increase in sales channels, with e-commerce at the forefront. Thus the “experience” provided and the ability to surprise play a key role in the shopping process, and high street retail gains the advantage as the vital factor that drives a city’s life.
Lisbon’s main retail destinations are concentrated at the heart of the historic centre and vary in the products on offer and brands targeting different consumer profiles: Avenida da Liberdade offers the main luxury brands; Rua Castilho has become an extension of the great “Avenida”, competing with an equally prestigious, but less luxurious offer; Chiado is a bit of everything – cool and traditional, it caters to both tourists and Lisboners, targeting the masses, but also the more affluent; as for the Baixa, the watchword here is tourism, major tourism, and with it, the traditional/souvenirs/mass market; and finally, Príncipe Real, with an offer that is totally different, unique and alternative.

In its December 2013 edition, the prestigious British magazine Monocle came to Lisbon to do its Christmas shopping, sharing its journey through the city’s retail areas with the whole world.

The law is finally helping…
Despite being in great demand, with large international retailers vying for a space in the Portuguese capital, rental laws curbed this enthusiasm, and a lack of available spaces was until now the greatest obstacle to expanding high street retail.
However, among the numerous reforms demanded by Troika, the Urban Lease Law was amended at the end of 2012 and the results are clear: In the worst-case scenario for 8 years (5+3), rents are freed from constraints and assume market values.
This change, along with the easier eviction of tenants who do not honour their commitments, is starting to show results. Several businesses that only survived due to having very low rents, are now giving way to more innovative retailers. In 2013, Avenida da Liberdade reached a record high in its number of openings, inaugurating 11 shops.

The “Avenida” is synonymous with luxury, prestige, elegance and exclusivity. Built in the same style as the Champs Élysées, Avenida da Liberdade forms the central axis of Lisbon’s main business district, and houses the city’s main 5-star hotels.
Regarding retail, this is the preferred address in Portugal for leading luxury brands, which are increasingly establishing themselves in the country directly. Before the introduction of the Euro currency in 2002, luxury items were essentially sold in multi-brand store such as Loja das Meias, Stivali or Rosa & Teixeira. Currently, 63% of luxury retail brands have their own shop on the “Avenida”, such as Louis Vuitton, Max Mara, Cartier, Prada and Gucci.
There are approximately 32,100 sq m of retail space along the “Avenida”. Fashion & Accessories is the dominating sector, but Jewellery & Watches also carries significant weight. With a total of 15 shops and occupying about 4,000 sq m, traditional Portuguese jewellers such as Torres Joalheiros, Boutique dos Relógios and David Rosas stand beside international chains like Officine Panerai and Montblanc.
Av. da Liberdade
“Avenida da Liberdade is currently the ex-libris of Lisbon’s history and trade. Today, those who want to be in touch with the city’s ever growing tourism and have a successful proposition for this target, have to be located on this avenue. We opened our first shop on Avenida da Liberdade in 1988, and it has always been a success, driving our retail activity in this part of the city.”

Restaurants on the “Avenida” and in the surrounding area target executives that work there and tourists staying in the numerous hotels. Restaurants like Brasserie Flo, Gambrinus, Sushi Avenida, Guilty or Avenue, as well as others such as Honorato or Pizzaria Luzzo, offer atmospheres that range from extremely elegant to more modern and casual.
Tourism is an important catalyst for driving high street retail in general and the luxury goods market in particular, sought out essentially by foreigners of Brazilian, Chinese, Russian and Angolan origin.
Demand from great international brands has increased steadily in recent years, and the waiting list continues to grow. Amendments to the NRAU (New Urban Lease Law) that were introduced at the end of 2012, have opened a window of opportunity on the supply side, but are clearly insufficient to satisfy the countless requests that arise.

Rua CastilhoRua Castilho, modern, cosmopolitan and “feminine”, extends the elegance of its neighbouring Avenida da Liberdade in a segment that is predominantly premium. Also included in the Prime CBD for the office market and housing the Ritz Four Seasons and Tiara Park Atlantic 5-star hotels, this street is popular among executives and foreigners seeking prestigious shops such as Loja das Meias, La Perla, Wicket Jones or Stivali among many others. However it is losing some prestigious and old tenants, having currently some vacant spaces.
This is a long street, but retailers are essentially concentrated between Rua Joaquim António Aguiar and Rua Rosa Araújo, occupying a retail area of approximately 4,700 sq m. Shops here belong predominantly to national and international chains (57%) and the fashion sector (58%).

“Rua Castilho is an extremely important street in Lisbon’s retail sector, joining several renowned national and international brands in the fashion and lifestyle segments, asserting itself in Lisbon as a fashion street. Aside from offering a very strong retail dynamic, it also offers parking and other important services that have attracted many national and foreign clients, which is manifested in the rise in sales and acknowledgement of its retail sector.”

The boost witnessed in this area in recent years is also due to the Castilho Fashion Street concept, a coalition among the main retailers operating on this axis. This organisation, which receives support from the Lisbon Council and the Associação do Comércio e Serviços (Trade & Services Association), aims to promote trade by carrying out various initiatives: Castilho Golden Xmas, Pink Day or joining Vogue Fashion’s Night Out. These are some successful examples that capture the attention of a public that has become increasingly informed and demanding.
The restaurant offer on this street is not extensive, especially considering the number of people who work in the area. The classic restaurant 33 and the simple and laid atmosphere hamburger house Bun´s garanteeing a full house at lunchtime.

Did you know...?Loja das Meias emerged in Rua Augusta in 1905, selling only stockings and corsets. The business grew, and over the years it opened several sections. In the 1960s it widened the range to include ready-to-wear, importing above all from Italy, France and England. At the end of the 1960s, Loja das Meias introduced the 1st jeans in Portugal – by the brand Levi’s – which were a huge success. In 1971, it opened its second shop in Edifício Castil, located on Rua Castilho.

Chiado combines Portuguese history and tradition with new tendencies and concepts, making it extremely trendy, fashionable and vibrant. These steep streets that are so typical of Lisbon offer iconic bookstores and cafés that, along with the great international brands, are an absolute must among the thousands of tourists and Lisboners passing through.
In total, 45,100 sq m are occupied by retail spaces. In the fashion sector, which represents 45% of Chiado’s retail, large international chains like Zara, Bershka and H&M, and premium, luxury concepts such as Hermès, Hugo Boss and Marc Jacobs, share this space with traditional shops that are, however, gradually diminishing.
National projects represent 49% of this district’s trade: new concepts such as A Vida Portuguesa, Loja do Burel or the 5 restaurants by Chef José Avillez stand beside shops such as Livraria Bertrand and the famous café A Brasileira, which have remained in operation for more than a century. These new concepts and iconic shops in Chiado provide a unique experience that sets this area apart, and which consumers increasingly search for.

The main streets, such as Rua Garrett, Largo do Chiado and Rua do Carmo, are the preferred locations among retailers. Spaces on these axes are in such high demand that they are often taken up before even being put on the market, causing trade to expand to adjacent streets like Rua Nova do Almada, Rua da Misericórdia, Rua Ivens and Largo Rafael Bordalo Pinheiro, which currently house a wide variety of restaurants.
There is indeed a growing number of restaurants in Chiado, not only due to the area’s central location but also to its proximity to favourite nightlife spots in Bairro Alto and Cais do Sodré. The offer ranges from renowned restaurants such as Tavares and Belcanto to more hipster options like Kaffeehaus and Café Royale.
Did you know...?In 2010, Bertrand and its bookstore in Chiado featured in the Guinness World Records as “the oldest operating booksellers” and “the oldest operating bookshop”, respectively.

BaixaTraditional, touristic, diverse, majestic, iconic! Built in the Pombaline era, the Baixa (downtown) is the city’s oldest retail area where, in the past, the various trades were organised into streets with the same name: Correeiros (saddlers), Douradores (gilders), Fanqueiros (mercers), Sapateiros (cobblers) are just a few examples. Known for its symmetrical streets, Rua Augusta forms the Baixa’s main axis. Here, souvenir shops and traditional merchants blend with fashion mass market chains, some of which belong to the main international brands such as Zara, H&M and Pull & Bear, yet traditional shops such as Portuguese shoe shops and boutiques have a relevant weight.
Lisboners and many, many foreigners wind their way through the numerous street artists who are considered a genuine tourist attraction. Yes, tourist: Rua Augusta is one of the streets with the greatest footfall, and it is a must for the growing number of tourists who visit the top choice for city breaks. The Spanish edition of Condé Nast Traveller magazine named Rua Augusta one of the most beautiful streets in the world from among the “31 streets to stroll down before you die”, highlighting that this famous Lisbon street offers “the charm of the old and the new, combining both in a unique symbiosis”.
“The opening in 2010 of our shop on the corner of Rua Augusta and Rossio was a success. Even during the country’s difficult economic time, from the beginning, the shop displayed a constant growth in sales. Without a doubt, the launch of this U.C. Benetton helped revitalise this area, which still presents great commercial and tourism growth potential.”

Did you know...?Once the epicentre of all of Lisbon’s activities and trade, there are still shops operating in the Baixa that date back more than a century, such as Conserveira de Lisboa (canned goods) and Chapelaria Azevedo (hat makers).
Commercially, tourism has indeed stimulated this area, and now more than ever, we are witnessing a real race among large retailers to obtain a space in this location.
A total of 16,100 sq m on Rua Augusta is occupied by retail spaces, with traditional retail representing a significant portion (30%). Nonetheless, shops belonging to national and international chains carry the most weight here, representing 60% of the total occupancy.
As in the other areas analysed, fashion is the dominating sector. With the close of Viva store, the Home & Furniture sector was surpassed by the Services & Convenience sector, where are included the several Haberdasheries and Exchange stores and represent 5% of the area.
And last but certainly not least, we reach Terreiro do Paço, one of the largest squares in the world, where the ground floors of government buildings were converted into restaurants with generous patios. Museu da Cerveja, Can the Can, the traditional Martinho da Arcada and the nightclub Lust Lisbon are just some examples of the new tenants in Praça do Comércio.

Príncipe RealBohemian, alternative, authentic, chic, are adjectives that best describe Príncipe Real. This area’s retail has been developing over the past 5 years, and it has decidedly put itself on the map, attracting innovative concepts, designer studios and alternative spaces, where the motto “unity is strength” pervades: typical ‘street’ concepts come together in former mansions that offer distinctive shopping gallery features. Embaixada, which focuses on national production, and Entre Tanto, which is more focused on fashion, convenience and spontaneity, are good examples that have joined differentiating entrepreneurs and concepts.
Including a total of 8,900 sq m of retail spaces, this area boasts high national representation, where about 84% of the retailers are of Portuguese origin. The concepts that mark this area and set it apart belong essentially to the fashion sector, which is much represented by bazar stores like Embaixada and Entre Tanto. A large portion of these shops targets a premium segment characterised by the alternative and hippy-chic style visible in the public that frequents the area.

“Príncipe Real is cosmopolitan, yet it exudes a neighbourly atmosphere. We are biased, since we have invested in almost 20 buildings here, but we think this is Lisbon’s most attractive area, since it embraces several urban cultures, age groups and socioeconomic strata. These features are reflected in and give rise to (everything is cause and effect...) high street retail where, more than in any other area, you can find authentic Portuguese innovation and “trendy-chic” brands driven by a new generation of national entrepreneurs.”

Did you know...?The romantic Príncipe Real Garden receives some markets and fairs, where are sold from crafts and second hand items to biological horticultural products.
Several retailers report that more than 80% of their sales are made to foreigners.
The proportion of home & furniture goods is also growing on the streets of Príncipe Real, including more than 10 spaces, 80% of which are occupied by the antique shops that are so typical of this district. Located directly beside Bairro Alto, for many years Príncipe Real has been home to several trendy restaurants and is a favourite among a very cosmopolitan public that likes to keep abreast of the main tendencies.
This movement still remains, and numerous restaurants continue to open in the area: Prego da Peixaria, Cevicheria and the first restaurant of 100 Montaditos in Portugal increase this sector to 26% of the area in this zone.

The combination of various factors is causing individuals to change the way they move around and occupy territory. Whether due to reasons pertaining to a lack of money or time, lifestyle changes or their relationship with consumption, or even the impact of growing improvement, in terms of supply and infrastructures, Portuguese residents living in different cities in the country are redefining their sphere of action and how they use the different spaces they frequent for consumption and leisure.
C-The Consumer Intelligence Lab, a project we have developed by Return On Ideas, launched a study at the end of 2013 that aimed to interpret those changes, measure them and try to forecast their evolution in the future. The ideas we share here are sustained precisely by those results.
The postitive experience of proximity:Redesigning a new “comfort zone” in consumption and leisure65% of individuals affirm that they increasingly strive to concentrate their daily tasks in areas close to where they live/work. Despite the main reason for reducing their sphere of action being a need for economic adjustment, it is undeniable that the shifting of flows to increase proximity is also based on reasons that are strongly related to new lifestyles. When cities offer us alternatives, times and desires change, as is proven by the evolution of different patterns in the relationship with retail, outdoor leisure spaces or shopping centres, observed in Lisbon and other Portuguese cities.
Trends that are driving change in city life By Clara Cardoso Return On Ideas
We foresee that a new comfort zone is truly emerging in consumption, which is more limited by the convenience of daily movements. “Far” and “near” are redefined, just as “on the way” gains new and more relevant meaning.
The assertion of public space:An opportunity to create clusters of experience and well-beingRegarding the increase in walking, if an inversion of the economic situation may lead to a reversal in behaviour, the extensive use of public space that has grown from new lifestyles (more outdoor sports, more socialising around other interests…), is so great that this habit is unlikely to change, even in a more favourable economic context.
In fact, as we have defended in C-Lab, this process of rediscovering public space is no longer part of a necessary adjustment. It is the achievement of a new way of life.
The symbiosis between consumption and public space, between consumption and leisure, is inevitable. Joining efforts to create clusters of experience and well-being (which are necessarily multifunctional) will certainly be successful. Portuguese response to the experience offered by hybrid formats such as Ikea, Fnac, or, on a different scale, Shopping Centres and some districts/streets like Chiado, leaves no room for doubt.
“The return to community life and business is a clear tendency in the present day. In this period of reduced purchasing power, families want to avoid shopping centres because these are veritable cathedrals of consumption. There is also a desire to create social roots, to bring the neighbourhood back to the old ways – in the A Padaria Portuguesa shops, we have several mothers who leave us the house key for their children to pick up.”
Nuno CarvalhoA Padaria Portuguesa
35
Seeking new formats & alternative experiences:The increasing search of innovation in terms of format and offerSome consumption spaces are gaining importance in the choices made by Portuguese consumers, especially in a leisure context. Not only do thematic fairs and street markets multiply throughout the city, but there is a growing number of shops, new or remodelled, that present something novel in terms of space, offer or experience. It is above all the novelty and experience factor that most attracts people to local retail, which explains why this doesn’t translate, for example, into a significant return to traditional trade – butchers, grocery stores, fishmongers, etc.
This phenomenon of returning to the street is still highly limited to the big cities and areas where there is greater commitment to urban renewal, but it suggests that there is a growing demand for alternatives to mass formats, especially in a leisure context and in categories where space can greatly limit the consumption experience, as is the case with restaurants and Horeca. The more mature consumption is, the greater the demand for alternatives, which is why residents of the districts of Lisbon and Porto display more interest in this new type of offer.
Examples of modernised formats such as the burgueries and A Padaria Portuguesa, and the possibility to enjoy parks and squares to the fullest, enabled by kiosks and outdoor patios that multiply across the city of Lisbon, are unmistakable assets in the eyes of consumers.
The fact that the online channel increasingly stands as a good alternative to physical channels, also challenges shops to turn the “going shopping” experience into entertainment, discovery, a sensorial experience.
While online shopping appeals fundamentally to the visual sense, a fair or a shop can offer smells, touch, taste, music. The ability to provide an experience is hard to match online.
The change in portuguese consumption and leisure patterns, translated into the numbers beside shows how important it is to reinvent concepts of experience.
