A pina colada with your purchase?

With the attraction of online shopping growing ever stronger, bricks and mortar retailers need to step up their game to attract shoppers and increase dwell time. We've seen in-store cafes, snack counters, and lounges, but will we soon be able to throw back our favorite alcoholic beverages at our favorite stores. Well, if the recent denial of UK retailer Topshop's application for a liquor license for its NYC store is any indication, it doesn't look likely.

When it comes to unconventional thinking, a bar in a store is pretty good even if it doesn't quite jive with zoning requirements. I can't wait to see what these quirky retailers come up with next.
