What is the average rent for a kiosk or shop in a shopping mall in Trinidad?
Q. What is the average rent for a kiosk or shop in a shopping mall in Trinidad, and where is it located? Which mall do you think is the best to do business and why? Thanks!
Asked by NiceTeesCasuals.com - Tue May 22 06:17:42 2007 - - 3 Answers - 0 Comments

A. For West Mall, you can start at $10,000 (TT) per month, in probably the worst location. I believe $15,000 is about the average for the decent spots. West Mall is on the upper end of the scale, Long Circular should be a fair bit less, but there are a *lot* of kiosks there. No idea about Movie Towne or other Western malls (or anywhere else in the country). Actually, I do remember a friend who rented a decent kiosk in Trincity, near the old Hi Lo entrance for about $7,000 monthly. This was atleast 3 years ago however.

How do you make your shopping list every week?
Q. Hi, I am running out of time every week to sit down and make a shopping list. How do you make yours? I don't want to go to the store without one because it seems like when I do, I forget what I really need and still end up spending double. All advise will be helpful. Thanks!
