Future of Retail: Wellness-oriented co-working space

One of the futures of retail is turning traditional shops into experiential environments. Now Washington, DC-based Take Care goes one trend further, combining a beauty shop with a wellness-oriented co-working space. In the shop, customers can browse and purchase organic, plant-based cosmetics, receive skincare consults and take classes in topics such as sustainable living and inner beauty. At the same time, the back of the building has been transformed into a community workspace, called Workwell.The new store is creating a mashup of trends for co-working, wellness and experiential retail.
