Case study
Late Night Operator
A renowned Central London Late Night Venue Operator approached us as they were struggling to find premises to relocate an existing highly successful operation to.
The results
We identified the stress point with their proposed use for Institutional and Landed Estate property owners and recommended an alternative search strategy – rather than focusing on existing empty or available premises, we recommended they should focus on property where both Licensing might be achievable, and where we expected an owner would be more receptive to their use. We then proactively approached those owners with the specific requirement.
By acting on a consultancy basis to undertake the above, we saved the client considerable time chasing lost causes and focused our energy onto achievable opportunities. This also meant educating the client to the reality that they would need to pay a 'premium rent' over and above the 'market' in order to secure a prime property where the use and Licensing would be possible.
Within 6 months we were 'under offer' on a site, which subsequently opened.

We are working with Mark [and the wider Smith Price RRG team] and have benefitted from his expertise in the real estate market since 2018. He enables us to see the market by bringing in many opportunities as well as providing context on availability and quoting rents to empower the ability to make quick decisions when the right sites appear. We’re happy to get a bespoke consultancy advisory service from Smith Price RRG instead of having an in-house role, which gives us the flexibility to choose our working tempo as heavy or as light as demand requires.

Smith Price RRG has advised The Entertainer since 1989, becoming an important part of the team. They have consistently offered comprehensive professional advice which is also commercially astute. They understand and add value to our business through their comprehensive knowledge of the market.

Molton Brown has partnered with Tony Rose of Smith Price RRG for over 15 years, and the relationship continues to deliver excellent value to Molton Brown. We run a 50+ store estate with a very small in-house property team, so being able to tap into Tony’s & colleagues expertise and market knowledge, both in opening, relocating and closing stores to maintain the right portfolio, has been very important.
Tony understands our business, and the market, so can offer expert advice on a range of challenges we have faced. We have been particularly active in re-shaping our store portfolio since Covid and Tony has done an excellent job negotiating on our behalf to the extent that we now have a portfolio with the right cost case in the right locations. Over this period Tony has demonstrated a hunger and urgency to make things happen, and his actions always revolved around Molton Brown’s best interests.”
