Narrowing your search from a larger pool of locations down to a manageable search criteria is something that’s best fine-tuned a few times to get the best results.
Starting at the Retailsphere platform, you can sign in and begin your search.
First, log-in to Retailsphere’s retail tenant database. Under the search bar, choose “Franchisors,” “Multi Unit Groups,” or “National Brands” for popular brand results or “Individual Units” for local grocery stores.
In the field marked “Category” choose “Food.” You must refine the search by choosing “Grocery” as your subcategory. Under “Select Unit Square Foot,” choose the square footage range that matches your occupancy. If you’re in a food desert, your search results may be very limited if you search by location. Leaving these fields open can help you find retailers that may be interested in expanding into your marketplace. Press search to see your results, or save the search for future reference.
After saving your search, you might want to refine the search even more. Pay special attention to the “Nearby” section, and input a zip code and how many miles from to narrow the search.
Retailsphere has information on brands of all sizes, from bulk warehouse stores like BJ’s down to pocket-sized chains like Aldi. Use the options on the left side bar to define your search further, or click an option for a list of direct contacts, square footage requirements, and more. You can click “Add Retailer” to create a list to reference later.
