Merchant Opportunities - Customer Feedback

Based on a 2005 customer survey, we have learned that customers of the Heights Business District are asking for the following categories of retail outlets in this area:
  • Clothing stores, especially women's
  • Electronic stores
  • Ethnic restaurants
  • Organic produce and grocery
Other business categories that are under-represented in the Heights and provide an opportunity for an enterprise are:
  • Performance or cultural facility which could serve as a meeting/conference centre
  • Niche boutiques of giftware and novelty items
  • Music and video retail outlet
  • Photography and photo finishing
  • Bicycle retail and repair
  • House ware and home decorating merchandise
  • Stationery, gift cards and related specialties
  • Live music entertainment at new or existing cafes and restaurants
Businesses interested in opening up a Heights outlet in these categories are encouraged to contact the HMA. Our office can also provide you with more detailed customer feedback.
