In recent years, tiny houses have caught the attention of HGTV shows, home-owners, vacation home buyers and renters, and people looking to simplify life, but less often have they been seen being used as tiny stores.<\/p>\n

A residential neighborhood in Cleveland, OH, approached developers – Burten, Bell, Carr Development – to bring goods and services to their area that was unique and new to the area. The developers created what they called BoxSpot, which consisted of seven different retail spaces for seven small businesses that each came in its own shipping container. The retail spaces provide very limited space for small business owners, but with such a simple design, these small business owners are cutting their costs, simplifying their own business designs, and stocking only what’s necessary. Sharyna Cloud, the owner of Kandy Kupboard – a store within BoxSpot – said, “when I tell people it’s about 134 square inches, they’re like, ‘What does that look like?’…But, it’s enough space for me to do what I need to do.” Cloud was one of 100 retailers who reached out to the developers to rent one of the boxes.<\/p>\n

Burten, Bell, Carr Development seemed to have to do very little “selling” to their customers when it came to the developing of BoxSpot, but I would argue that Burten, Bell, Carr Development only had it so easy because they first understood the needs of their customers. The community was in need of an innovative way to bring shops, services, and places to eat in the neighborhood, and to do so in a way that maximized the minimal space that they were given. Not only did they maximize the space, but they did it in a way that was also very affordable for small business owners. BoxSpot sold to their customers what their customers didn’t even know they needed, which has shown through their success in the Cleveland location and their efforts to expand into other locations as well.<\/p>\n
