Demo output
Demo · center directories checked Oct 20, 2026Demo brief: a premium athleisure brand planning its first stores in the US Midwest. Preferred neighbors: lululemon, Aritzia, Apple, Sephora, Free People. Direct competitors: Alo Yoga, Athleta, Vuori.
| # | Center | Market | Class | Preferred neighbors present | Competitors present | Status | Leasing contact |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 1. Saint Louis GalleriaThe only center in the set with no direct competitor. Caveat: no lululemon or Aritzia, so athleisure demand here is untested. | Richmond Heights, MO | A+ | Apple, Free People, Sephora | None | Gap | Named, email |
| 2 | 2. Eton Chagrin Boulevardlululemon proves the category; Vuori is the one competitor. Smaller lifestyle center, about 50 tenants. | Woodmere, OH | A+ | Apple, Free People, lululemon | Vuori | Contested · 1 | Named, email |
| 3 | 3. Oakbrook CenterTop-class asset with every preferred neighbor, but all three competitors already trade. | Oak Brook, IL | A++ | Apple, Aritzia, Free People, lululemon, Sephora | Alo, Athleta, Vuori | Contested · 3 | Named, email |
| 4 | 4. Easton Town CenterEvery preferred neighbor and all three competitors: a proven but crowded cluster. | Columbus, OH | A+ | Apple, Aritzia, Free People, lululemon, Sephora | Alo, Athleta, Vuori | Contested · 3 | Named, email |
| 5 | 5. Kenwood Towne CentreSame pattern as Easton in a smaller center, 1.1M sq ft. | Cincinnati, OH | A+ | Apple, Aritzia, Free People, lululemon, Sephora | Alo, Athleta, Vuori | Contested · 3 | Named, email |
Demo ranking: fewer direct competitors first, then more preferred neighbors, then center class. Brand presence was checked against each center's own directory on Oct 20, 2026. A full study scores every candidate with the Malls.com Tenant Fit model against your brief, adds format and footprint logic, and includes an analyst review of each shortlisted center. Contact names are delivered in the study, not shown here.
How it works
What the study does not do. No footfall counts, no sales forecasts, no lease availability and no brokerage. The shortlist tells you where to look first and why; site visits and negotiations stay with you and your broker.
Reports on one mall or one brand
A fixed-price starting point: one center, or one brand in one market, checked by an analyst and delivered as a PDF with an Excel appendix within 3 business days of payment.
