What does a real estate consulting firm offer a travel retail project?

A real estate consulting firm gets involved from the initial stages of your project by identifying strategic locations with high potential, accompanied by an in-depth study of the areas dedicated to travel retail activities.

 

It fully understands the specific real estate constraints of travel retail spaces, as well as the technical and regulatory standards specific to this sector, especially in high-traffic areas.

 

Site evaluation includes analyzing visitor flows, optimizing zone visibility, and their coherent integration into the urban fabric, as well as the rigorous application of accessibility and safety rules, particularly regarding ventilation and universal access.

 

Thorough checks examine commercial capacity, flexibility in the face of fluctuating footfall, and the technical compliance of facilities, reconciling architectural constraints with operational and financial requirements.

 

The firm also works to enhance property value, secures contractual agreements, manages legal aspects, oversees construction and develops strategies aimed at maximizing medium and long-term profitability..

What services does a real estate consulting firm provide for travel retail?

Travel retail real estate consulting encompasses site identification, concession negotiation or asset acquisition, commercial space design, and retail outlet operation.

 

We reconcile the operational constraints of platforms, brand requirements, and sustainable economic performance.

 

We analyze high-potential hubs (footfall, accessibility, visibility, commercial attractiveness) and conduct travel retail-specific verifications: usable areas, security constraints, logistics access in secure zones, fire safety standards, and compliance with infrastructure managers' requirements.

 

We optimize lease negotiations, purchase or transfer agreements, focusing on rent, duration, indexation, charges, and lease rights, in order to secure the business model and the future value of the site.

 

We conduct feasibility studies (profitability per passenger, average basket, capacity, ergonomics), manage the regulatory and technical aspects until the completion of the fit-out, then support the valuation or transfer of occupancy rights to maximize asset performance.

Stéphane Keulian - Food Business Leader, Ingka Centres

When managing the commercial offerings at French train stations, we sometimes need expert support. With its insight into F&B trends, its bold approach, and its commitment to simple, generous cuisine, Tomorrow Food helped us rethink what a significant part of station catering could be (and will be): regional cuisine, accessible to everyone, complementing local restaurant offerings and meeting evolving customer expectations. From menu development to artistic direction, Tomorrow Food assembled a complete and complementary team.

Adrien Lavayssière - Development Director at Retail & Connexion

Aiming to launch a retail-focused innovation lab offering food services, we approached Tomorrow Food in 2023. After several weeks of collaborative brainstorming, we conceived an original concept: Bistro Hasard, located near Saint-Lazare Station. Launched in April 2024, this establishment offers innovative gaming-themed experiences. This unique venture required a complete alignment of visions between Tomorrow Food and us, as well as unwavering mutual trust. By combining these two ingredients, we successfully developed a one-of-a-kind establishment that satisfies customers and is becoming a benchmark.

Rodolphe Barquin - Innovation Director, FDJ UNITED

From concept creation to detailed definition, the team demonstrated true professionalism, responsiveness, and valuable expertise. Communication was excellent within the project team and with our board. The financial figures were well-structured and consistent. The TFA team was attentive and willing to challenge themselves to bring our project to fruition.
