Retail chains and franchisees are not permitted in Pike Place Market. Businesses with multiple retail locations (two or more) are discouraged from applying. However, after opening a business in the Market, businesses can expand to additional retail locations. Please note that this does not prevent wholesalers from applying for a retail space.

Each space and lease is different. Leasing costs are structured according to location, space size and use within the Market. Lease terms are at the sole discretion of the Pike Place Market Preservation and Development Authority (PDA).

New leases are typically for one to three years. A new lease may be longer to accommodate significant tenant investment into a space.
