Looking for a retail space that is ready for you to move in and open your doors for business from day 1?

I am moving my business to Montreal and only need to take my stock, so I am subletting my furnished, fully equipped, ready for business 6.5 year old clothing store. The shop is 450 square feet, with big picture windows facing Osborne St. and has absolutely everything required to run your own shop, including incredible exposure to driving and pedestrian traffic. Just move in your stock and you are in business.

Advertising Built In To the Location: Exceptional Traffic Flow Will Notice Your Business

With daily traffic of 42,000 cars traveling down this street per day, the exact area between Wardlaw and Gertrude is perhaps the slowest bottleneck to and from downtown during rush hours with only two lanes going in each direction and a traffic light at Wardlaw Street (approximately 20 feet from the location of the shop).

What this means for you is, an incredible number of driving traffic noticing a new business moving in. Far more traffic will notice from the slow pace of traffic on Osborne than even a high-priced billboard on Portage Avenue or Pembina Highway. The window space alone is worth a fortune on Osborne in this location.

Over 11,000 people live in the Osborne Village neighborhood, creating also a good amount of walk by traffic, in addition to 4 major cross-town bus routes traveling past this location hundreds of times per day.

Annually during the Canada Day Osborne Street Festival, some 80,000 people frequent the street while it is closed off from traffic.

Save Time and Avoid Stress With a Furnished Space

My furnishings and equipment were accumulated over a span of 4 years, some new and some used but in excellent condition. I had to go as far as Portage la Prairie, Steinbach and Beausejour to get some of the big pieces, and had to borrow a truck each time I needed to go get furniture and bring people with me to help move them. For this space you will:

Not need to spend time sourcing out your furnishings. Not need to find a truck to use to move your furniture. Not need to use your time to go and get the furniture. Not need to find strong people to carry the furniture into your new retail space.

The existing wall fixtures can be changed to be set up as you like since there are hundreds of pieces that can be interchanged to set up different types of displays, depending on what you are merchandising. You will get:

* 9 wall brackets drilled into the walls at 3 feet apart, that can support hundreds of pounds worth of merchandise.

*Brackets which will fit with dozens of corresponding fixtures (more can be purchased easily to suit your needs).

*8 bars for clothing that fit into brackets

*8 individual shelves to fit into brackets

*dozens of “waterfall” front-facing fixtures for brackets

*A slatboard in two different places already affixed to the walls

*dozens of small slatboard hooks

*dozens of long slatboard hooks

*slatboard brackets for shelving

*glass shelving

*stored in the basement there is also a 10” x 4” slatboard which could be painted and affixed to the wall for extra wall space to display whatever you need extra space for.

All Utilities Included, Plus Alarm and Internet

In the cost of $2800/month for rent, I will also be including all utilities and extra bills necessary to facilitate an easy once-a-month payments to avoid confusion with bills. The only extra expense for you will be to get your own insurance. Included in the cost is also:

*phone

*hydro/heat

*water

*monitoring for the alarm system

*unfinished basement for storage

*wifi (with a shaw login, we are a hotspot)

*10' x 10' space on the street for the Canada Day Street Festival

The Longer You Wait, the Less Likely the Space Will Still Be Available!

I would like to leave all the equipment and fixtures for a functional shop to sublet for $2800/month. This arrangement may take a week or two to begin since I’d need to pack up my merchandise, but the arrangement would be confirmed with the two months security deposit paid up front upon signing a sub-lease with me.

Everything Down To the Stapler Is Included – Take Payments In the First Ten Minutes

I will only be taking my stock, so literally everything else will be left for the new business to use right down to the pens, the stapler, windex, mop, light bulbs. All the office and maintenance supplies will be left for your use, and will be the ONLY things you will need to replenish as you go.

A new business would be able to open their doors the same day they move their merchandise in. You will already have a cash register in perfect condition, you will just need a way to take credit and debit cards and you will be set up to take all payments.

A Booth For the Canada Day Street Festival Is Included, Where 80,000 People come To Celebrate

Included in rent is one 10'x10' space in front of the shop during the Canada Day Osborne Street Festival where around 80,000 attend. Also, upon opening shop on Osborne you become eligible to join the Osborne BIZ Board, which makes decisions concerning the neighborhood and the Canada Day festival itself.

A Sub-lease for As Little as 6 Months or As Much as 6 Years

The lease is mine for a minimum of 6 years so you can choose how long you’d like to sublet with me, anywhere from 6 months – 6 years.

Ground level retail spaces on Osborne do not become available often (the last time I recall was 3 years ago) and the rate for a space this size in the village area without any furnishings and without basement storage space, is up to $2800 plus all utilities plus equipment plus any renovations, so I am offering a good rate for a furnished place which is already renovated, including storage, including utilities, including over $10,000 worth of retail equipment, with the bonus of my walk in traffic.
