Since opening in 2013, whynot? has established itself as the only permanent indoor marketplace where even the smallest business can take on the high street giants.
Over 400 retailers have taken space in whynot?. Some come for a day at a time, some stay for a week at a time. Many return again and again. Some retailers have decided to stay permanently and some have stayed for a while, proven themselves in the world of retail and have moved on to premises of their own.
whynot? is a platform that fits pretty much anyone who wants to trade in a high profile, high footfall location with tiny starting costs, very flexible terms and be part of a supportive business community.

US and YOUR WORK
For just £5.50 per day whynot? provides you with your own dedicated space to fit out, display and sell your work - and you don't need to be there.
We take care of all sales on your behalf with zero commission.
Here's how it works...
• Retailers can choose 1m square floor space as a minimum (or equivalent - it could be 2m x 0.5m or 0.75m x 1.3m - we'll work with you to get the best fit)
or
• 2.3m square wall space (or equivalent) as a minimum
Rental covers all costs associated with selling your products including full time staffing 7 days a week, marketing and promotion on our own web site and social media, visual merchandising and packaging at point of sale.
You can bring your own display furniture but it must fit within the space that you rent.
If you have products that don't fit inside our standard space template (perhaps require a combination of horizontal and vertical space) we're happy to talk with you about how best to display them.
We don't have facilities to store any of your stock out with your own rented area so the stock you bring must fit within that space. We will contact you when your stock level reduces below 75% of the total area you rent to give you notice that it would be advisable to restock.
Your products (which will be labelled with bar codes we give you) are tracked by an Electronic Point of Sale System as they come in and as they are sold. This allows us to give you an itemised sales report each month.
We need retailers to sign up for a minimum of a three month period at a time, paid in advance. The rent for each space is £495 per three month period (that's only about £5.50 a day).
At the end of each month inside that period we will send you your sales report. You then send us an invoice for the amount corresponding to sales.
