Retail Consulting Firm in Dallas

Strategic Value Partners (SVP), a Dallas-based retail consulting firm, provides management consulting services to four sectors in the retail industry: general merchandise, specialty, pharmacies, and quick service restaurants (QSRs). Strategy consulting and intensive change management for turnarounds, mergers, acquisitions, divestitures, joint ventures, and strategic alliances are at the core of our service offerings.

With consumers shifting dollars online at lightning speed, and Amazon capturing fifty to seventy cents of every online dollar, retailers face choices that are more challenging to identify, define, and evaluate than ever before. In parallel, public shareholders are demanding answers more aggressively than ever and frequently going public with their own solutions. Don’t delay — proactively define the path to full potential and achieve key milestones.

 

General Merchandise

The general merchandise sector is composed of retailers that sell a wide range of merchandise and includes department stores, discount stores, and warehouse clubs. Historically, this sector has not included grocers. However, many general merchandise retailers now sell groceries.

Specialty

The specialty sector is composed of retailers that focus on a single category such as apparel, electronics, home improvement, furniture, pets, or sporting goods. This sector excludes pharmacies.

Pharmacies

The pharmacies (or drugstores) sector is composed of retailers that fill prescriptions for controlled substances, carry over-the-counter (OTC) drugs, and sell health, wellness, beauty, and other products. In strategic moves, large pharmacy chains, and general merchandise retailers with pharmacies, have aggressively moved into pharmacy benefits management, health insurance, health clinics, digital health, and remote health.

Quick Service Restaurants (QSR)

The quick service restaurants sector is composed of fast-food restaurants and coffeeshops.

Irreversible Change in US Retail


In this new series, "Irreversible Change in US Retail," Strategic Value Partners explores the sweeping restructuring taking place in the retail industry. Most importantly, we explore the implications for consumers — a topic overshadowed by all of the talk about retailers, their suppliers, and their landlords.

While this restructuring started prior to COVID's arrival, COVID accelerated the pace and scale of change to previously unimaginable levels.

Ultimately, consumers will encounter fewer choices on where to shop and higher prices. Worse yet? The pain for consumers is probably closer than you may think.
