Q. What are the criteria for a new store?
A. Existing Center: Our preferred site is in a grocery or major retail anchored strip center. We require a minimum of 60’ of width, and we need approximately 7,500 square feet of selling area, along with 1,000 to 1,500 square feet for a stockroom.

Built to Suit: We also have an aggressive free-standing build-to-suit program for those markets in which we have been unable to locate a suitable site in a strip center. Our free-standing buildings range between 9,000 and 9,500 square feet on approximately 1 to 1-1/4 acres of land.
