Anchors

Transforming a large vacant space

into a multi-tenant destination for independents.

How it works

  • Identify and Secure a Large Unit

    We help you repurpose vacant space (e.g. 10,000+ sq ft) into a shared destination for independents.

  • Engage a Local Operator

    Together, we appoint an on-the-ground operator to oversee daily management and activation.

  • Launch a Call for Traders

    Using Incubator-style marketing, we run a campaign to attract a strong mix of independent brands.

  • Select and Onboard Traders

    You co-select traders for subdivided spaces. We onboard them to Thriver and help them prepare to launch.

  • Deliver Group and 1:1 Support

    Traders receive business support through Thriver, plus coaching and coordination, through our joint delivery model.

  • Build a Destination Experience

    Curation, events and programming turn the space into a footfall-driving asset for your wider scheme, high street or place.

  • Transition Traders to Tenants

    We help successful participants grow into longer-term leases — within the anchor or beyond.

Business Support

that actually works

Every SaveTheHighStreet program is powered by Thriver – our unique AI tool designed specifically for busy local traders.

It’s simple to use, easy to get started, and feels like having a whole team in your pocket – recommending what to do and helping to get things done for them. Traders don’t need to be tech-savvy. They just need support that works.
