Shopping centres’ exposure to Massmart’s 34 DionWired and Masscash stores, which are to close their doors, might be slight, but experts warn that more retailers could scale down this year

“In light of the oversupply of retail space, an economy that is stagnant and changing trends, more retailers could reduce their floor space in centres and close down their underperforming stores,” said Keillen Ndlovu, head of Stanlib’s listed property fund.
