SAN DIEGO-Though the retail real estate industry is improving overall, discount retailers are still the most favored by today's consumer and are the ones expanding and taking up space, said Bill Winn, president of Passco Companies. He spoke here with GlobeSt.com's Ian Ritter at the recent ICSC Western Division Conference.

They also talked about:

  • The vacancies left by Borders and Blockbuster.
  • How retail rents are down 20% over the last two years.
  • Consumer confidence's ties to unemployment.
