Retail Space...? Any websites that reflect this ?
Hi Friends,

Are there any websites or data sources that show what retail space is available in a particular area? I notice from driving one area of town to the next, the space available can change DRAMATICALLY. 

I'm sure that Large Retail operations and chain stores looking to expand, contract or move---&gt;would have this data?

Anyone know???

Thanks~!
