1. Exploit the potential of pop-up businesses and restaurants to meet local needs, help start-ups, and call attention to the possibilities in your neighborhood. A pop-up is a temporary establishment; often building owners who cannot find a permanent tenant will be willing to compromise by allowing a pop-up to occupy space for a weekend or a month or two either free or for a very reasonable rent. This technique can help you identify a healthy mix of businesses to pursue, and may help you find good operators as well.
