You may have clicked on this page because you are a risk taker, independent in your thinking and want to be in business for yourself. Does that sound about right? If you answered yes, you are an entrepreneur and Orchard Town Center is the place for you! Short term leasing or “Specialty” Leasing is a great way to test market a product with less of a time commitment, lower overhead costs and operating on an RMU (cart) means instant visibility to the shopper because your business is situated in the open common area.

The Bagel Bakery has become known as the place to go to get the best baked goods in the North Denver Metro Area. Owner, Michele Martinez, opened her first location in 2008 and was looking for a way to expand her business and get the word out about her bakery. The perfect opportunity arose at The Orchard Town Center in the form of a kiosk on town square at The Orchard Town Center. The kiosk has served as a satellite location for her original location and sells cupcakes and other delightful treats to children and parents alike that frequent the children’s play area and interactive water fountain in The Orchard’s town square.

Typically there is an array of Specialty Leasing opportunities available within a shopping center. Here are some examples:
Kiosk- the easiest definition of a kiosk is a retail unit of approximately 150-200 square feet. The distinct difference between this unit and an RMU (cart) is that you operate your business from inside of it. It is most often a stationary space located in the common area. This can be leased short term or permanent.
RMU- or Retail Merchandising Unit most commonly referred to as a Cart. It is approximately 50 square feet of retail space. You operate your business around it. It is typically mobile. RMUs by nature are leased on a temporary basis.

Inline space- also known as store space. The square footage of such space can range in size from small to large. Since inline space is something that the owner of a shopping center wants to have leased on a permanent basis, the availability can be varied. Your Agreement term can run month to month or on a specified short term basis.
