59% of Millennials Look for Physical Store Presence When Buying Online. The Millennial Consumer Don’t worry… they usually don’t bite Cool is a Millennial Ethos

Cool IS Experience

Cool is not frivolous.

Woe to the retailer or landlord that underestimates the power of cool.

Hipster

A person who follows the latest trends and fashions, especially those regarded as being outside the cultural mainstream.

A term often used in a derogatory manner to describe alternative cultural subsets.
