San Diego Clothing Designers!!
Our unique, interesting space on 6th Avenue next to the Culy Trucking Event Center, 2 blocks from the Convention Center, and nestled in between the ballpark and the Gaslamp Quarter has space for you.
We are surrounded by hotels and the foot traffic down here is fantastic, so we need to take our giant retail floor and turn it into a design feast. Lara Matthews (of Thread Show fame) described it as a permanant Thread Show and in some ways that is true. Our goal with this space is to give new businesses a boost and one of our ways is to give up the floor for NO FEE.
If you have merchandise sitting in storage- bring it here. If you want a place to help build your brand- bring it here. If you want bragging rights to a cool location- bring it here. If you have money to spend on independent design and art- bring it here.
We will watch the shop and sell your stuff (or sell you stuff), you just bring what you already have.
NOW... HERE'S some NEWS!!
We are in NO WAY associated with SDonlineradio. Thank God. |

CONCEPT CONT.
There are a ton of new businesses starting at kitchen tables and being operated out of garages that need to expand and get more exposure. The jump from garage to full blown store and all of the expenses that come with it are usually too great of a leap.
Industry Showroom is here to bridge that gap.
Shared office spaces are hardly a new concept, there are hundreds of office suites in San Diego. Our concept builds for that basic premise yet Industry Showroom also shares traits with shared retail spaces like Leaping Lotus in Solana Beach. With our space you get retail floorspace and a private office and/or workshop. Our concept gives you what you really need to grow a business. Rents range from $250 for display space to $1100 for an enormous office with counters, shelving, storage, AND retail display space. Internet, electricity, water, and other misc. expenses that can nickel and dime a small business owner to death are all included. You won't have to sweat the little things, we do that for you. You can focus on your design, wholesale operations, internet sales, and your on-site retail sales.
Combine that with a community seminar space (which rents for a great price by the way), an art gallery for monthly events. a photography room, a podcast station, a fine art screen print studio, and a curated showfloor of local design talent... you have it all! It's like "Empire DEPOT" for those that wish to build their creative empire by hand.
It's the smart way
to build your brand.
