In the early stages of doing research for opening a small menswear shop in Philly ideally opening shop in the next year to two years. The shop will be a higher end mens shop likely catering to the young professional in Philly. This will be more of a streetwear shop (more casual ie denim, chinos, boots, shirtings, etc) rather than offering suiting options.

My questions revolve around where to open up shop. Obviously I need to find a good balance between location and cost of retail space. Shop will be in a small (prob <1k sq ft) space. I'm interested in looking at hip, up and coming neighborhoods in the city. In my brief research I have seen Fishtown/Northern Liberties pop up a lot. Any thoughts on this area of the city for opening this kind of shop? Has the area been developed to the point where renting retail space will pricey? Other developing neighborhoods like Fishtown on the horizon?

Finally, is there a good resource for finding retail leasing info for philly neighborhoods?

Thanks for your input!
