Additionally, new stores are being added by independents and Marianos Fresh Market, along withsuperstores such as Costco, Sams Club, Wal-Mart Supercenters, Super Target, Meijer, and Woodmans.

OBSERVATIONS FOR 2012

In summary, 2012 will be a year of continuing recovery as retailers and restaurants claw their way back toward the 2007retail sales levels. Unemployment, and the slow growth in new jobs, combined with inflation, will continue to make 2012 adifficult year. (Especially, if Europe implodes). Filling retail vacancies will continue to be a problem. In our opinion, the realretail growth will occur in 2013. The consumer will remain cautious until unemployment moderates and incomes andhousing values begin to rise. Then we will begin to see some real increases in pent-up retail demand.
