Paradise Village Center will bring together an
eclectic collection
of food and non food vendors and tenants,
which will yield a
public
market
with a healthy
mix of local and national businesses in a vibrant one of a kind atmosphere.
Visitors will see at the market a
special energy.
Paradise Village Center will become a festival marketplace and a major
destination point for business in
Hamden and New Haven County.
In our main
market room we are offering kiosks for year round rental;
ranging from 300 square feet
to 1,000 square feet. Rates start at $1000 monthly (300 square foot
kiosk) with rents
ranging from $24-$40 per
square foot (plus common charges) depending upon size of the kiosk
or restaurant.
At the conclusion of our
renovations (anticipated October 2007) tenants will have 3 months
free rent to complete their fit ups.
An anticipated end of year
2007 to 1st quarter 2008 opening is anticipated.
An exciting mix of
vendors and tenants will create a unique food and fun experience.
In our 2nd market room, we
offer space for indoor/outdoor restaurants. We also feature separate
rooms attached
to the market, where the
vendor or tenant can set their own hours and have outdoor terrace space for
seating.
We are also anticipating
the opening of banquet party facilities and a high class disco
on our lower level,
both to be run by a known
restauranteur based in New Haven County. We also anticipate
tenants offering non food
specialties and
services.
Great design; a classic European look, a solid
concept, an excellent location with over 30,000 daily
car
traffic and almost 800,000
people living within a 5-30 minute drive time; all this is coming
together with an early 2008
planned opening. There
will also be opportunities for entrepreneurs and
chefs to open a restaurant in the market
and to lease up to 4,000
square feet and to utilize our outdoor courtyards to serve as an indoor/outdoor restaurant
with a separate entrance to
allow for extended hours.
There will also be several rooms located within or connected to the
market halls available for rental. These
rooms will take
advantage of the market's excitement, sounds, smells and traffic and
some will also have
their own private entrances
and are ideal for a tenant's individual talents and specialty (non
food or food).
A key to the Market's
success will be the presence, knowledge and personality of the
individual vendors and tenants.
The strength
of the business idea and plan and the commitment
of
the entrepreneur will be essential factors
in vendor
selection. We welcome vendors who have other retail locations and
want a kiosk in the Market to be
a satellite
facility. Vendor leases will specify required and restricted
offerings. The emphasis for most vendors
will be on food
and
ingredients for home preparation or prepared
foods for home consumption and especially
for
consumption on site. We offer 5 year leases with a good guy
guarantee along with the option to increase the
leasehold
period to 10 years.
Kiosk owners
will be expected to devote their primary energy to retail sales;
wholesale business, such
as sales to
restaurants and caterers will be encouraged. While food
entrepreneurs who have a strong local
following will be
our primary focus, we are seeking vendors who are located outside of
Connecticut and
situated in all 50
states and also based internationally.
We encourage
cooperative arrangements between local
vendors and other national and international
vendors
offering
similar food products. We can assist in connecting
the local vendor
with a national or
international
company
to expand the product line
available for sale (especially in the "produce
" category), offering the
customer a
larger product selection
year round; to allow for rental
of a larger spaced kiosk, to provide national
and
international vendors with a
local Connecticut presence and to reduce rental
expenses. The market will
provide
shoppers with a 7 day access to
multicultural cuisine.
Anticipated market hours- weekdays: 9am-8pm. Weekends:
10am-6pm.
