Retail Market & Feasibility Report with Merchandising Strategy

A private, executive-level analysis applying Hoffman Strategy Group’s proprietary methodology to determine market supportability, feasibility, optimal merchandising strategy with forecasted sales, total occupancy costs, and construction cost estimates for your project. Monthly engagements are limited to ensure quality.

The Objective

This is not a generic market study.

It is a highly selective engagement designed for decision-makers who require a confidential, data-driven, and strategically interpreted assessment of retail opportunity. By retail we mean retail stores across categories (e.g., grocery, sporting goods, apparel, longevity and wellness, health and beauty, big box, specialty, etc.), fast-casual and sit down restaurants, personal services such as fitness, and leisure-entertainment.

Your report will address:

  • Market Supportability – Market, consumer, retail spending, and other demand analysis, trends, and competitive positioning.

  • Feasibility – Financial viability assessment for the planned retail or retail components to mixed-use property.

  • Merchandising Strategy – A curated tenanting and phasing plan aligned with achievable sales performance, total occupancy costs, and market positioning.

Our reports deliver strategic and actionable insights and recommendations on the optimal retail market positioning, long-term tenant mix strategy, sales forecasts, and tenant occupancy cost focused on maximizing revenue potential of your property.
