*********** If the TMO is looking for high-end malls, that means they're not going to do the cheap strip mall option, and they're going to pay through the nose, like $36/sq.ft: http://retailtrafficmag.com/mag/retail_bad_news_retailers/ In addition, renters at malls usually have to pay a percentage of sales, something I doubt the TMO is going to be happy about: http://retailtrafficmag.com/mag/retail_hot_topic_long/ So high rents, maybe $30K/mo in salaries, sounds like a sure winner to me! Somebody should call in a consultant from Booz Allen Hamilton and bounce these ideas off somebody reasonable before they commit to long-term leases on a proposition that can't possibly work.
