And new experiential retailers are experimenting with smaller footprints than those of traditional department stores.

53.7 percent: The percentage of consumers that named direct deposit as their preferred disbursement method for recurring payments.

417,000: The number of new credit union members picked up in February.

100,000 square feet: The dimensions of a typical Kohl’s brick-and-mortar location.

13,000 square feet: The projected size of Neighborhood Goods’ new experiential retail store in Texas.
