In order to create a truly unique retail experience, we approached everything with a fresh point of view. We don’t just charge rent and leave you on your own. Instead, we license space for each vendor and provide all of the necessary services to make your store operate smoothly, without all of the headaches and stress that accompany trying to open a new brick and mortar location of your own. We charge a small sales commission, which means you only pay for the support services proportional to your actual sales activity.This also means we have a serious stake in your success, and our in-store staff remain constantly motivated to increase you sales.
Licensing is less expensive and less risky than signing long term rental agreements with traditional retail space, and even less than most flea-market fees.Most importantly, you get seven days of sales opportunity, compared to only weekends.

Traditional rent is just a charge for space.We do more, because we know that you want more.Licensing allows each space to become a ‘branded’ experience, in much the same way as designer labels brand their space in a department store. It is a more immersive experience for the shoppers, and allows you to build your own following.This becomes your focus, while we handle everything else.You focus on great merchandise selection, a desirable store environment, competitive pricing, your customers’ interests and trends that you can capitalize upon.
