Would you like a salad with that shirt? In what seems an interesting return to the lunch counters and in-store dining so popular in the 1900s, retailers are adding restaurants to their outlets to capture more shoppers.
Next month in Manhattan, Tommy Bahama will add a restaurant to their flagship store.
Urban Outfitters serves ethnic cuisines to match its eclectic styles at its store in Westport, Connecticut.
J.C. Penney Co. plans to add juice bars and coffee shops.
Unique to the Tommy Bahama model, is that they’ve chosen to run the restaurants themselves, as opposed to license them.
