In commercial real
estate, it’s a
buyer’s or renter’s
market for the
foreseeable future.
In fact, thanks to
the recession, the
playing field is
now more level
than ever for anyone who wants a chance to
play the retail game. From your potential suppliers
to the contractor who can renovate your
space, anyone with goods or services to sell
needs your business. The economic climate
says you should be able to negotiate a fair price
and command quality work and service from
everyone you deal with. If someone refuses to
accommodate you, rest assured there’s someone
else waiting in line behind who will.
Start.
Grow.
Repair.
Our specialty is helping small and
mid-sized businesses achieve success.

INFORMATION & ACCESS
RATHER THAN LOCATION
With a good computer system and the right
software, you’ll be able to know which customers
are buying what and why, right up to
that very minute. That knowledge is power for
you; power that provides leverage when dealing
with suppliers.
This information age will also knock down the
notion of the critical importance of location to a
specialty store. If you choose, and your category
of preference warrants it, you can operate
tomorrow’s store in two neighborhoods. First,
there’s the physical neighborhood where the
store is situated.
