SMRT Shop Space price info?
Hello there,
I've been trying hard searching for the right forum to post my query. Hope this is right and I can get feedback.
Is anyone knows how and where can I find out any information(or pass transactions) on the price range to tender for shop space leasing offered by SMRT?
Please kindly help!!

You need to ask other shop owners what they are paying at that location. And, you need to check alternate sites against what is being paid for SMRT spots.sodan wrote:don't think can obtain price information from them otherwise won't have this tender thingy right?

Then, you need to determine your volume of product, mark up you can get away with, and whether or not you can support the rent. A lot of small shops close up very quickly when the owner realizes it takes a large number of $10 and $20 sales just to pay the rent.
Strong Eagle,
The problem is almost closed to impossible to find out the shop space rental(now or pass transactions) leased by SMRT. I have no clue.
I also tried asking the current shop cashier about the rent. The young school boy just showed me a "don't care" face and said "dunno". I tried the other shop cashier and she said "don't know, is the boss to rent"!!
All I need is just a good location shop space just to start my business. Have almost everything ready.

So maybe you need to contact the business owner. Look, you've already said you don't know what a reasonable bid is. I've already told you that there are two components... what you think you could afford, based upon your business plan, and what others are paying.
What's left? This isn't rocket science. Get the name of the owner and find out. What other choice is there, other than bidding an amount your biz plan says will work and seeing if you are successful?
