Elevate Your Brand at The Mini Mall
Leeds' Premier Independent Department Store
Welcome to The Merrion Mini Mall! We are offering a fully managed, flagship high-street presence right in the heart of Leeds. Designed as a premium independent retail incubator, our vision is to operate as a "micro John Lewis" specifically curated for the region's elite independent Traders, Crafters, Artisans, and Makers. If you are looking to step beyond traditional market settings and place your products in a dynamic, highly curated environment, this is your opportunity.
The "Hands-Off" Retail Experience
We know your time is best spent creating. That is why we are deploying a highly efficient "Space-as-a-Service" model.
- Zero Floor Manning Required: You do not need to physically man your own stock.
- Professional In-House Team: The trading space is operated by a highly trained, in-house team consisting of dedicated retail operatives and a permanent Site Manager.
- Eco-Conscious Focus: We actively promote the circular economy by championing local artisans who utilise upcycled materials, sustainable textiles, and low-carbon supply chains.
Footfall & Location
Positioned prominently in the heart of Leeds City Centre, your products will intercept a significant portion of millions of annual visitors. The location captures three high-yield demographics:
- The Student Mega-Market: Over 80,000 students reside within a 15-minute walking radius.
- The Corporate Economy: Immediate proximity to major office hubs and the Leeds General Infirmary creates a massive, captive weekday workforce.
- Built-In Local Community: The immediate vicinity contains 8,372 existing residential apartments, with 5,000 more in development.
Your Dedicated Retail Space
When you join the Merrion Mini Mall, you do not just hire a standard stall; you lease curated physical real estate. You will secure a dedicated, 5-tier vertical bay exclusively for your brand.
- The Footprint: 150cm (H) × 70cm (W) × 30cm (D).
- The Display: 11.3 square feet of highly visible, premium retail frontage.
- The Branding: Your brand logo acts as a bespoke billboard at eye level.
- The Back-of-House: You receive a dedicated storage area in our secure back office. When an item sells on the floor, our staff immediately restocks it.
- Scalability: If you require additional bays, they are available on demand so you can easily expand your storefront.
Two Ways to Trade
- Lower monthly cost: £20 administration fee per calendar month, plus 30% commission on sales.
- Retail bay: £180 per calendar month, plus 10% commission on sales.
- Art: Display five pieces for £20 monthly or £49 for three months, plus 30% commission.
Pay online by arrangement or pop in and pay at the till. Our team will confirm your space, explain your chosen plan and help get you on the shelves.
Maximising Your Trading Strategy
Choose the £20 monthly administration fee with 30% commission, or a £180 monthly bay with 10% commission. A full-month residency allows your brand to capture every distinct buyer demographic — from the high-spending Tuesday corporate lunch crowd to the massive Saturday student rush. It also gives our in-house sales team the necessary time to understand your products, refine visual merchandising, and prove how powerfully this model can scale your income.
