Is this program right for you?

We’re looking for business owners of color, including but not limited to Black, indigenous, Hispanic, Asian, and Pacific Islander Americans, that:

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

• Are available to attend the Retail Workshop, our virtual, expert-led course on all things business and brick-and-mortar retail.

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

• Have the correct funding to support their business operations outside of any funding the program may provide for eligible store build-out expenses.

Retail workshop

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 included at no cost for all accepted applicants. Accepted applicants can select which Retail Workshop session they would like to attend:

• July 8 - August 2

• September 23 - October 18

Funding

Partner to Empower funding opportunities are considered on a case-to-case basis for expenses associated with the build-out and construction of a physical store within a Brookfield Properties mall.
