Kimco Realty are making curbside pickup a permanent feature at its properties, as more customers are turning to this option during the coronavirus pandemic.
The major shopping center owner, which currently owns more than 400 shopping centres and other mixed-use developments are to roll out designated curbside pickup spaces in parking lots at 23 centers in Texas, starting as soon as this week. It will be adding these spaces to its shopping centers nationwide in the coming days.
“While curbside pickup was already gaining traction before the pandemic, some of our national retailers are now reporting a 200 percent increase in curbside pickup orders, by formalizing the process and expanding it beyond national retailers to our local mom and pops, we hope to help tenants quickly ramp back up sales as the economy begins to open again,” – Kimco Chief Executive Conor Flynn said in a statement.
