Retail Week

Retail Week is a UK-based news magazine, website and data service covering the retail industry.

History and profile

Founded in 1988 by financial journalist Patience Wheatcroft and her husband Tony Salter,[1] Retail Week is now owned by the business magazine publisher Ascential.[2]

The magazine is published every Friday. Retail Week has an average net circulation of 7,785 (ABC Certified) and a readership of 39,000.[2] Subscribers are primarily retail company board directors and senior managers, as well as suppliers to retailers and investment analysts.

Retail Week launched a news website, Retail-week.com, in 2004. The site was redesigned and relaunched in 2007 and again in 2009. Retail-week.com has 110,000 unique users and 419,000 page impressions per month.[2]

Chris Brook-Carter [3] has been editor-in-chief of Retail Week since March 2012. The previous editors were Tim Danaher,[4] Patience Wheatcroft (1988–1992), Ian McGarrigle (1992–1996), Kate Oppenheim (1996–1999) and Neill Denny (1999–2004).[5]

Retail Week runs an annual conference in London called Retail Week Live for leaders of the retail industry and hosts the annual Retail Week Awards[6].

In October 2015, Emap announced it was to stop producing print editions and that over the next 12–18 months all titles, including Retail Week, would become digital-only.[7] However, as of December 2017, a print magazine still existed as part of a premium subscription package.[8]
