Report: Federated Mulls Mall Epicenters
Federated Department Stores is considering a new mall concept called “Epicenters,” where consumers can view and buy products from online and catalogue companies, according to a report out Monday.
Epicenters could potentially take up vacant space at mall locations and offer consumers a variety of shopping alternatives. As part of the concept, consumers would be equipped with handheld devices called “buy-pods” that would allow them to purchase items from Epicenter vendors.
Retail and entertainment entrepreneur Sheldon M. Gordon developed the Epicenter concept and could announce a deal with Federated soon, according to WWD.
