We are looking for a vacant retail space 200m-300m

Vacant video shop at Southlands ‘cept you’d be next to the Asian grocer and not far from Jabal’s in terms of competition.

The Old Video2000 store in Weston (next to Kingsley’s) has been vacant for over 6 months. Good location if you can stand the smell of an oily chook.

For the record, people have more money to spend in the north compared to the south (I mean, have you seen Calwell?!?) – Don’t setup down here. Wrong side of the lake. Bogans only eat McDonald and KFC.

Blockbuster at the Curtin shops has closed down, that might be worth a look and a nice community there. They’re alos in the process of setting up a community bank (bendigo) since the CBA vaccated

Hyperdome – don’t know if there is a big demand for organic – maybe offering a delivery service to southside might work

45 empty shops in the HYPE-erdome – cheap rent too if you don’t mind some thuggie fights outside your store

Hmmmm, thinking cap on, pluggged in, calibrated. Energy swirling through neurones, synapses performing faultlessly, calculating, reasoning, sorting… waiting for a result… ah yes here it is:

Leasing Agents, for all their faults, do maintain databases of empty properties and have intimate knowledge of where a business is likely to succeed. They would be, in my humble but unfortunately non-organic opinion, the best place to find suitable empty commercial premises.

A delivery service would be cheaper and more environmentally friendly.

Oh. I just saw your website after I posted :/

Well.. There aren’t any other solely certified organic fruit&vege shops at the markets 🙂 but I’m guessing you would have already considered the markets as an option and they already have four different fruit & vege retailers there.

Mind you, the organic produce shop that was there 12months ago was doing really well, then changed hands (cos the owner wanted to retire) and is now a health foods (vitamins) shop so maybe there is room?

Fyshwick Markets are looking for more tenants in their newest, redeveloped section I think there will be 100 and 200 square metre blocks available for fit out from mid-late October.

Depending on the type of business you have I’d recommend it cos the markets get loads of regular customers Thursday-Sunday and you wouldn’t suffer the slow death over small businesses seem to in small, quiet local shops. I work at Plonk and we were open 6 days a week in Manuka (tiny shop down a dead end back alley with amazingly high rent) and were just about to go under when we made the move to the markets – now we’re open only 4 days and doing so much better.

Farrer shops has lots of empty newly-refurbished shops.
