In a recent study by Deloitte, retailers were asked about their expectations for the retail store of the future.  Their response is a good indication of the fact that real estate planning is quickly evolving:

“In fact, three out of five respondents said they have no
idea what the store will look like in five years. Additionally,
nearly one in five believe that 15% of their sales will be
generated from channels that have not even been thought
of yet.”
