If there’s anything we can learn from perusing our most-read stories of the year, it might be that Retail Brew readers are at least as interested in the future of retail as they are in its present (and, just for good measure, have a little nostalgia for its past). The tech transforming retail dominated this year’s list, but NRF’s 2023 Big Show, Green Wednesday, and the history of family pajamas were also apparently a hit.
