Our Solution

Bringing successful new businesses to a community is a complex, connection and time critical, endeavor. This process requires a community to develop connections, acquire real estate tools, identify and create a strategy, and spend valuable time navigating an unfamiliar industry. Before Retail Strategies was founded in 2011, communities who desired to attract new and vibrant retailers to their market had no other choice but to take on this endeavor alone or use consultants who provided them with research reports, a list of prospects, and limited guidance on whom to contact, what to say, and what to do over the 18-36 month deal making process to secure new businesses in their communities.

Retail Strategies was formed to give communities who desire new business the ability to have well connected, experience, and licensed retail real estate professionals aggressively identify and execute tailored strategies to attract new retailers to the market. Our team provides unparalleled service to communities, providing best in class data, real estate analysis, tailored and achievable strategies, and the on-going support to execute your vision.

Unlike other firms, we do not sign one year agreements and hand the ball off to you to navigate the deal making process. Instead we dedicate professionals to your community to create a long term partnership that the community can benefit from. Real Estate transactions take time, connections, and persistent effort. Through a multi-year partnership, we can properly vet opportunities on your behalf and bring new business out of the ground that will increase your local tax collections and benefit your community.

APPAREL WEBINAR:
President & COO of Retail Strategies, Lacy Beasley

The apparel retail sector has taken over headlines over the past few months, but it’s mainly been big-name closures grabbing the spotlight. Retailers such as Rue21, Payless ShoeSource, Gap, The Limited, Bebe, and other have announced all or many of their locations will close. After rapid expansion, the apparel sector is entering a period of rapid contraction.

However, as these closures have spread, just as many apparel retailers have expanded and adopted future expansion plans that likely stems the tide of closures in the sector.
