Unique Retail Opportunity

October 27, 2011

The space, Studio 101, that formerly housed My Fair World is available for lease. It is 750 sq. ft. located between the Headwaters Arts Dam Gallery and the Gallery Gemma jewellery design gallery.

The Alton Mill is seeking a special retailer who will offer unique hand crafted items, beautifully displayed. The shop must have  a strong sense of design and unique style that sets it out from the crowd and makes it a destination of its own. While we are already generating strong traffic, we are looking for someone who will build on our strengths with their own marketing and promotion program.

We have a couple of alternative concepts in mind or would love to hear yours. Our ideas are:

  • locally-made and/or fairly tranded hand crafted items suitable for gifts or personal use. Items could range from a variety of fine crafts to functional household items, to wearable art to artisanal foods.
  • a boutique of unique handmade apparel items sourced from the best fibre artists and designers in Canada and abroad. This would be a great complement to the unique hand-crafted designer jewellery offered next door by Gallery Gemma.

If you have been working on an outstanding retail concept and have been looking for a place to locate it that is as exceptional as you see your store, or if you've already opened it, are incredibly successful and are looking for a second location, please contact us at leasing(at)altonmill.ca, or call 519-941-9300 for more information. To book an appointment to see the space, speak to Margi Taylor in studio 205 tel. 519-940-0935.
