it is too high to rent pushcart or shop lots

I have only very small capital...really too risky to rent pushcart or shop..

where can we get reasonable rate for pushcart.

its very high rental. one person cant cope unless you have low cost n high profit margin. but nowadays, its a risk to bring in BIG bulk to enjoy low cost. so have to find 2-3 interested people to share the cost.

But then with the high cost, push carts at most shopping malls are fully booked too!!!!

Its ridiculously high, I heard bugis shopping pushcart is calling for 5-6k for such ridiculously small area space to put so little merchandise?! I think whoever agrees to rent has been taken a ride for. It's really paying sky high price making profit so lean, furthermore the management there seem to be pushing for commitment upfront 3 months and claim that their carts are sought after. At the end, entrepreneur suffer and many work > 12 hrs mending their own stalls without rest & no pay, no $ to employ helper. Am I right?

I totally agree with you.. Its just too high,,, i made enquiries to rent a shop space at bugis street, its 4 to 6k/m and 3 months deposit + half month agent fees. It's just too much... Went down to see how good the market there, pushcarts there doest seem to be doing good business too..

Really wonder how they can survive.

The winner will always be the owner/management.

No matter what, we are at the mercy of mall management and landlords...
