Think outside the box to find the perfect retail space for what you do. An alternative retail space for a food vendor might be an ice cream van, a coffee stall or a popcorn cart. All these have the added advantage of being transportable. Buildings originally designed for other uses, from a bank to a former public toilet, can be repurposed for retail, as can private homes and even deconsecrated churches. Make your customers laugh, or make them think, by creating an interesting and memorable retail space for yourself, and the chances of making a sale go up.
