How discount stores are carrying the retail sector

While consumer spending has remained relatively strong through inflation, retailers have struggled to stay relevant, with Macy's (M) announcing it will shutter 150 locations. Discount retailers like The TJX Companies (TJX) and Burlington Stores (BURL), however, have held up as consumers seek sales elsewhere under the pressure of inflation. JLL Americas President of Retail Naveen Jaggi joins Yahoo Finance Live to discuss the state of retail and the consumer, as well as the success of brands like Burlington. He discusses Burlington's recent growth and how it relates to the consumer: "Today, they're opening over 60 stores a year and they're taking 50, 60, 70,000 square feet in some places. To me, I'm watching that entire sector and saying where the US consumer is shopping, that's the sector I want to watch because that tells me where we spend our dollars has the most sustainability in the long run and today more than ever, the dollar value sector is grabbing a more lion's share of the US consumer than ever before."
