At JLL Foodservice Consulting we spend our days travelling the globe to review the foodservice offer in all kinds of developments. This gives us a unique take on the latest food trends – something that our clients often refer to us for. After all, who doesn’t love to know about the latest openings, cuisines and […]
As the exclusive (and very proud) Foodservice Partner to MAPIC and MAPIC Italy, JLL Foodservice Consulting held the first of the MAPIC ‘Unplugged’ events on the rooftop of Aqua Nueva in central London last night. The ‘Unplugged’ event kicked off the year long focus of Food and Beverage leading up to the 1st F&B Retail […]
I have spent a large amount of time on planes recently, supporting the wider JLL business and ICSC on the launch of the research on Food and Beverage and its impact in shopping centres. You can download the report here. First of all I found myself in Austin Texas, participating in the “Food for Thought” […]
For over 40 years I have been working in the foodservice industry, and for the last 3 decades I have been advising property developers, landlords and building owners and occupiers on “food”. The business has grown from a one man band to a highly respected part of the JLL Family and along with my incredible […]
From the dress adorned with 700 cupcakes to a kilt made of pasta, Zoe Ellis-Moore explains why an element of surprise made the JLL Food in Fashion event at MAPIC 2015 so memorable. When we go shopping, we no longer go just to shop, we go to meet our friends and catch up. Online is great, […]

In the UK, there are more farmers’ markets opening than branches of Tesco, it’s indicative of the multi-sensory shopping phenomenon that is currently […]
First published in the Across Magazine, Issue 3. I think that everybody knows that foodservice in Shopping Centres is growing. It has become a more important part of the tenant mix as we shift from a consumption based economy to an experience based economy. The proportion of guests visiting Shopping Centres who choose to eat […]
While property marketers play a key role in securing value, they have often found it hard to capture and articulate precisely what it is that they do. All too often, marketing is perceived as a series of tactical, promotional activities rather than the core strategic function that it should be. At JLL we realised that […]
As the annual International Council for Shopping Centres (ICSC) European conference takes place this week in Istanbul, it is worth reflecting on one of the world’s newest global cities. Often portrayed as being located at a key crossroads between the east and west, Istanbul is a fascinating mix of two vastly differing cultures. This divergence […]
The positive mood at MAPIC really shone through many of the discussions and presentations that Jones Lang LaSalle was part of over the course of the week. We saw investor interest returning strongly, with some areas, notably Southern Europe, that have been off the radar for the last few years getting renewed attention from investors. […]
One message that came though loud and clear from this year’s MAPIC was that physical retail space has a very solid future.
