VENUESCORE™

What is VENUESCORE?

VENUESCORE™ is an annual survey compiled by Javelin Group, which ranks the UK's top 2,000 retail venues including town centres, stand-alone malls, retail warehouse parks and factory outlet centres.

VENUESCORE provides retailers, developers, owners and brands with a straightforward tool for understanding some of the key differences between shopping venues, such as scale of offer, market positioning, fashionability and age positioning.

For retailers trading nationally, and in a range of different location types, the development of an effective location strategy requires the segmentation of the chain so that the performance of stores trading in venues of similar retail status can be better understood.

For investors in retail property, an understanding of the retail hierarchy in an area, overlaid with consumer spending dynamics, helps to highlight opportunities for new development and/or tenant strategy development in existing schemes.

VENUESCORE charts the rapidly changing face of the UK's retail geography: understanding how retail venues are changing and adapting to the current economic climate will be vital for retailers and landlords as they navigate their course through some turbulent waters.

VENUESCORE 2011-12 has been fully updated to now include the foodservice sector as a key input to the rankings: an increasingly important consumer spending sector that has become integral to the overall success and dynamism of retail venues. The arrival of foodservice in the rankings makes for some interesting changes!

VENUESCORE data is also available in many other European countries. Let us know if you would like to find out more.
