- Who can be a retailer?
Our pop-up retail service is tailored to our individual clients, which includes start-up businesses, established brands and online retailers. We also offer inline retailers the opportunity to expand their customer base. We do this by directing shoppers to their inline store, promoting seasonal product lines and/or attracting a different demographic than usual.
- Are there benefits to using a Rock Up and Pop Up Kiosk?
Our integrated kiosk service will allow you to trial physical retail for the first time, test new products and services in a low risk environment or trial new venues before committing to a longer lease. The flexibility of our short-term leases can give you the confidence you need to get started with kiosk retailing!
Our pop-up retail offerings allow you to meet face to face with prospective customers, which is particularly useful if you are an online business. Kiosks can help to increase brand awareness as well as drive consumer engagement. To use one of our kiosks, please contact us to book pop-up retail space at atria Watford Shopping Centre.
- What insurances and documentation do we require?
Generally ยฃ10m public liability insurance is required. If you currently have ยฃ5m, you can usually request a top up of your existing insurance (depending on your insurance provider). We require the following documents:
- Risk Assessment
- Method Statement
- Proof of Insurance
- Photographic ID
- Proof of Address
- Rights to Work in the UK Evidence
- PAT tests or receipts of any electrical items that are to be plugged in (A receipt is required if the item is less than 1 year old, otherwise it needs a valid PAT test which can be obtained from an electrician)
The average cost ofย PLI is ยฃ157 a year.
- Are there any additional costs / business rates?
Power usage is generally included in the rent, however excessive requirements may result in an additional charge. Should the access to water and drainage be required an additional charge is likely, you can discuss this with an Account Manager. You may be liable for business rates depending on the rateable value of your space and the size of your business.
- How much will it cost?
The cost to retail in a shopping centre varies depending on the retail set-up, product line you are selling, and the mall space chosen. The cost varies if you are renting an RMU, mall kiosk or using one of your own kiosks. One of our team will be able to advise on pricing when they know more about your business and requirements.
