TRADE WITH US!
SO, HOW DOES IT WORK?
Robins Nest Emporium functions on a pitch rental system. We rent the space to you, you dress the pitch with all of your lovely stock and then we put the products through the till!
Easy peasy!
You can visit your pitch any time during weekdays and during our trader hours at the weekends.We always have a member of staff on hand at our stores to offer any advice on how to display items and recommendations for prices too, so you will never be left alone!
Just so long as you sign the paperwork, keep paying your rent and tell us a joke every now and again, you'll be able to stay as long as you like!
AND HOW MUCH DOES IT COST?
Prices and availability vary across the store, but the floor spaces are worked out at £6 per square foot. For example, an average 6 x 6ft space at our store is £216, but there are a range of other sizes that can be available. Shelf spaces range from £25 - £35, with bookcase and cabinet options between £65 and £85. All prices quoted are for a calendar month, and all spaces are subject to 10% commission on sales as well.
We ask that every trader pays 2 months rent up front (the first month’s rent and a deposit). Each trader then has a 2 month minimum contract and we kindly ask for one month’s notice if you leave us. The non refundable deposit is used for the final month’s rent.
