Store location within the mall<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Where your store is within the mall plays a vital role as well.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here are some of the factors you can consider:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Proximity to main entrances and exits<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Visibility from major walkways<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Location relative to escalators, elevators, and staircases<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Proximity to food courts or other high-traffic areas\/stores<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Rent may increase slightly in this high-visibility and high-traffic zone, so try to balance visibility with viability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Merchandise mix<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Your merchandise mix must align with both the mall&#8217;s positioning and the expectations of its visitors.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Consider:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Price points relative to the mall&#8217;s typical shopper profile (age, gender, spending capacity and other demographics)<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Product categories that resonate with local preferences and needs<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Seasonal relevance for the region<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Visual appeal and display potential of your merchandise<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/geoiq.ai\/blog\/merchandise-buying-strategies\/\">Merchandise buying <\/a>should not be decided based on past sales of a particular SKU or category.

Rental and lease agreement<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Some malls operate on a fixed rent model, while others follow a revenue-sharing model or a mix of both.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s important to understand which one works better for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lease agreements also typically include a lock-in period along with specific exit clauses and annual rent escalations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is said that the average rent at top malls comes with a<a href=\"https:\/\/economictimes.indiatimes.com\/industry\/services\/property-\/-cstruction\/malls-brands-at-loggerheads-over-rent-hikes\/articleshow\/97068251.cms?from=mdr\"> 15%<\/a> hike every three years. However, some malls are trying to push for a 20% rental increase over the next three years, citing inflation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>While this may be true, it\u2019s worth noting that top retail chains like Aditya Birla Fashion, Shoppers Stop, Jubilant FoodWorks and Tata Trent have reportedly saved over <a href=\"https:\/\/economictimes.indiatimes.com\/industry\/services\/property-\/-cstruction\/malls-brands-at-loggerheads-over-rent-hikes\/articleshow\/97068251.cms?from=mdr\">\u20b91,500 crore<\/a> in rent by negotiating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, it\u2019s worth negotiating better rental and lease agreements that work for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Mall reputation&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A mall\u2019s brand reputation directly affects yours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If the mall has a history of high footfall, strong marketing efforts, and good tenant retention, that\u2019s a green flag.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But if stores keep shutting down or there&#8217;s a declining buzz around the mall, that\u2019s something to look into.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You should also check the future development plans for the mall. All of these can impact your store\u2019s performance, either positively or negatively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. Store layout<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Your store layout should be eye-catching, welcoming, easy to navigate, and overall visually engaging.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your products are cluttered or the signage is unclear, chances are people will walk past, or worse, walk in and leave in seconds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Consider placing your high-margin or fast-selling products in high-visibility zones. Trial rooms (if applicable), billing counters, and product displays should all be positioned to create a smooth customer flow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This will help customers easily navigate and increase dwell time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8. Stock replenishment and logistics behind it<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Demands can spike rather quickly during weekends, particular seasons, mall-wide promotions and more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To not lose any sales during these periods, make sure your supply chain is agile enough to keep up with sudden surges in demand without overstocking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check if the mall has any restrictions on delivery times, vehicle access, or storage limitations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some malls may not allow restocking during peak hours or have strict basement access rules which can slow things down if not planned in advance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9. Financial viability and break-even analysis<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Before locking in a mall location, you need to run the numbers once, realistically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Evaluate all cost heads: rent, staffing, inventory, store setup, mall-specific charges (like maintenance charges), and marketing spends.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This gives you a clear picture of whether the location is financially viable in the first place and when you&#8217;d be able to break even.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Using historical sales data, mall footfall projections, demographics and other vital data, we help brands build accurate revenue projections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This data-backed approach often helps our clients break even 45% faster than traditional methods based on intuition or outdated benchmarks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Conclusion\"><\/span>Conclusion<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Opening a store in a mall means a significant investment of capital, time, and entrepreneurial energy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But the success depends on thorough research.
