Public numbers get you this far. Local intelligence does the rest.

Which lease terms to aim for, what a build-out really costs and which streets work for your category: that comes from experience on real projects, not from public reports.

US Launch Plan

A one-hour working session on your specific needs, then a written report on your numbers: the main costs checked against current quotes, a cash plan for the first 12 months, the lease terms to aim for and the steps to opening. Written to share with partners, a board or investors.

The first step, for one city and one format: a document to decide whether and how to go ahead. If you go ahead, it becomes a full project and the fee is deducted from the total. Conditions in the Terms
