221 Greg Melich - Retail in 2024

Raymond A. Mason School of Business
About this episode

We interact with it on a regular basis; some of us daily, some weekly. Whatever the frequency, it’s a major part of life and spending. Retail. Whether it’s discount stores, department stores, online or brick-and-mortar, retail is a massive sector. And for the most part, since the beginning of the pandemic, things have been good for retailers. For much of his career, Greg Melich has studied and analyzed retail. He’s partner and Senior Managing Director at Evercore, a global independent investment banking advisory firm. On a recent visit to William & Mary, he sat down with us to discuss the state of retail, the hot topics, and where things are headed.
