Looking to get your first store/shop/business going and want to be downtown surrounded by other creators, entrepreneurs and small businesses?? I’ve got a couple store fronts open and ready to lease. I’m happy to work with you on build out needs, general council/resources or creative financing to help you get going. I know the struggle and how much a little help can go.

Give me a call, message or email if you wanna take a walk thru and talk out your ideas/needs. One reason I have always loved Downtown is because of its community of risk takers and doers.

Space 1 (former Luna Detura)
1000sq ft
2 main retail rooms
3 smaller rooms (office/storage/more retail)
2 brand new bathrooms
1 outdoor space (shared with other tenants)
Flat rate gas/water/rubbish
Outside security cameras
Extra storage possible (based on needs)

Space 2 (former Maze Books)
Ask me about this one, not sure yet if I want to rent it, several pros/cons, just ask David W Pedersen (but most of the main cons are all fixed)
