Word of mouth works — until it doesn't. Expanding brands go to whoever had the right connection that week, not whoever had the best space. RetailTenant replaces guesswork with a systematic, data-driven approach so your outreach is proactive, not reactive.
Filter by location, size, and demographics. Every result is a brand actively looking for space — not a passive listing.
Direct access to the brokers and expansion decision-makers behind each brand. Continuously validated — no dead emails or stale numbers.
AI-powered signals cross-checked by industry insiders. Not scraped once and left to rot — freshness is built into the process.
One property or a full portfolio — search, context, and outreach in one place, the way leasing teams actually work.
Every business is a physical retail or F&B brand. No office, no industrial — just tenants that fit your space.
Skip the referral chain. Go directly to the broker or expansion manager and start a real conversation.
Filter by location, space size, and demographics to surface brands that are actively expanding into markets like yours.
Dig into each brand's expansion plans, site requirements, and growth trajectory. Know who's serious before you pick up the phone.
Contact the decision-maker or their broker directly with verified contact details. No gatekeepers, no cold introductions — just a real conversation.
RetailTenant is built for landlords and their leasing agents — anyone responsible for filling retail or restaurant-ready space. That includes individual property owners, leasing teams at large ownership groups, and independent brokers who represent landlords. If your job is finding the right tenant for a physical space, this platform is for you.
CoStar and LoopNet are property databases — tenants come to them when they're already searching. RetailTenant works the opposite way: it helps landlords proactively identify which businesses are expanding and reach out to them first. You're not waiting to be discovered; you're going to the tenant. It's deal sourcing, not listing.
We aggregate from a combination of public and proprietary data sources — including business filings, franchise disclosure documents, press releases, job postings, and real estate transaction records. This multi-source approach lets us detect expansion signals that no single source would reveal on its own.
Data freshness is a core part of our process, not an afterthought. We use AI-powered monitoring to continuously track changes in expansion status — such as new location announcements, updated site criteria, or broker changes. This automated layer is then cross-referenced with validation from industry insiders and experts who know when a brand's expansion is real versus stalled. If a contact or expansion plan is no longer accurate, it gets flagged and updated.
Each contact listing goes through a multi-step validation process. We verify that the person is still in the role responsible for expansion decisions, confirm their contact details are active, and cross-check against industry sources. Contacts are re-validated on an ongoing basis — so when you reach out, you're not working from a stale Rolodex entry.
We cover the full spectrum of physical retail and food & beverage brands — from national restaurant chains to regional specialty retailers, fitness concepts, health & wellness brands, and emerging franchise operators. We do not include office tenants or industrial users. Every business in RetailTenant is looking for a physical storefront or restaurant space.
Yes — and this is core to where we're headed. Today, you can run searches across multiple markets and locations simultaneously. We're actively building out the full operating platform experience so leasing teams can manage all their outreach and deal tracking in one place, across their entire portfolio.
