"I Own a Shopping Center, Now What?" Podcast | Episode 18: Choosing Between Franchisees and Local Tenants

Is bigger always better when choosing tenants? In this episode of "I Own A Shopping Center. Now What?" I talk about the tough decision of choosing between franchisees and local tenants. While the allure of a well-known franchise name is tempting, it might not always be the best choice. I share my experiences and insights on why local tenants could be the stronger option, even when a franchise comes with brand recognition and marketing power. Tune in to hear key points on evaluating financials, tenant improvement (TI) strategies, and a real-life case study where a local tenant outlasted a corporate giant. If you're navigating a similar decision, this episode might offer the perspective you need. Don't miss out on future episodes filled with more expert insights and practical advice.
