We’re looking for Black- or minority-owned businesses that:

Are interested in opening a store within the Brookfield Properties U.S. mall portfolio.

Have the correct funding to support their business operations and inventory outside of the funding that the program provides for store build-out expenses.  

Want to sign a license agreement — ideally for a minimum of two years.

Are available to attend the Retail Workshop.

Partner to Empower funding is specifically for the expenses associated with the build-out and construction of a physical store within a Brookfield Properties mall. For full funding details visit our FAQ page.

Our four-week virtual Retail Workshop is a master class on all things business and brick-and-mortar retail. Led by industry experts, the workshop will cover topics such as building business plans, business banking, marketing, staffing, store operations, leadership, and more — and the best part: it’s free for accepted applicants.
