Series: Sunday Business ; 20 June 1999, 11(1)Publication details: 1999Subject(s): Summary: Colliers Erdman Lewis' Midsummer Retail Report says that retailers are returning to market towns, due to a shortage of space in large town centres & out-of-town malls and the increasing gap in rents between these centres and the market towns.
