Peter Buckingham, Managing Director of Spectrum Analysis Australia has been featured in Inside Franchise Business Magazine online in July 2019, in a feature on "What gives a franchisor nightmares?" produced by Octomedia.

From his most recent overseas travel, Peter observed the increasing trend of pop-up stores in shopping centres overseas just like in Australia. But the way pop-up stores have been built up and managed overseas is something shopping centres in Australia can learn from in order not to affect long term stores’ visibility and sales. In this features, Peter analyzed in depth the reason why retailers feel reluctant to sign a lease in shopping centres. Their fear against increasing rental costs, unfair joining or exiting terms and conditions and other topics like the changing face of retail mix and specifically pop up stores will be discussed in this feature.
