I am in the process of locating a space I can sublet smaller space to retailers selling only new items (10x10 or as needed). They will pay rent plus commission. (Same concept as the antique shops). This will allow small retailers the opportunity to start a business or stay in business as there will be no overhead, no payroll. They will have to keep there space stocked and looking great! (example: Shoppe's on 4th or ???). It may even include a small cafe etc. I want shoppers to have fun while shopping, a great meeting place. I will probably need 20 or so tenants to make it work. Depending on the overhead.
Do you know anyone that has done this? Any ideas?

Thanks for any input,
