"Box" Shop and Shelf Space -What's Your Views?

xoxoxo

Seen many "box" shops sprouting out recently and many shelf-space-sharing concepts stores, allowing budding entreprenuers with limited budget a chance to be their own boss. I think in our own forum, we have seen 5-6 such shops. The retail scene is getting really exciting!

For those who have rented box-space and/or shelf space, care to share with fellow forum members your views and experiences. Comments on location, concept, rental, sales support, promotion and advertising, actual business results in terms of profit and loss, product awareness etc etc are all welcome!

This should benefit those who are thinking about renting one or those who are thinking of starting another "box" shop and will be useful feedback for existing "box" shop & shelf-space-sharing owners.
