Re: New Showroom Spot
I'd say these pic's have some good potential advertising for the before and after of your remodeling business.

Re: New Showroom Spot
Way to go Rory.
I know you were looking for some space, this looks like it could work out well, as long as you can get some foot traffic to it! ~Matt |

Re: New Showroom SpotQuote:
Matt This is has to be the second or third busiest street in DC. Its on Rhode Island ave about 5-6 blocks from the only home depot in the city. We are on the NE side where the home values are in lower to moderate range. Foot traffice is ok but Car traffic is none stop all day with 3 stoplights with in 300 feet of the store. Perfect for flyers and weekend promotions |

Re: New Showroom Spot
I'd be interested to see some pics of the street, so that we can see how the storefront is going to look within its setting.

Re: New Showroom SpotQuote:
Seriously though, as you already know the most important thing about any store is its location, and I was just interested to see what the surrounding area, neighbouring stores looked like. John

Re: New Showroom Spot
I'm curious about what a 500 sq/ft storefront like that generally runs in DC? Not necessarily what your rent is, but generally what does a space like that go for? For comparison, storefronts like that, in my area, assuming they have heat, a/c, and no off street parking go for about 80 cents to 1 dollar a square foot with tenant paying utilities.

Re: New Showroom Spot
This one is 1.50 per sqft. The area is decent the hookers don't come out till around 10pm. This is a incredible bargain. Commercial prices here are probably only below Newyork and LA
The street traffic is incredible. My white truck is parked at the light. We thought out door displays and flyers would work well on the weekends. |

Re: New Showroom Spot
It looks good. What have you got in mind to make your place stand out, so it catches the eye of passing motorists?

Re: New Showroom SpotQuote:
One hell of a paint job on the building that has to be approved by the landlord, A nice sign on the wall to the left hopefully with lighting and a nice sidewalk setting on the weekends and handing out flyers Last edited by rbsremodeling; 04-14-2008 at 04:47 PM. |
