Sleiman Enterprises Launches Retail Incubation Program for Entrepreneurs
May 11, 2021 GMT
Commercial real estate owner and developer Sleiman Enterprises today announced the launch of
RISE [
E ntrepreneurs], an all-encompassing retail resource for aspiring Jacksonville entrepreneurs and their business concepts.
RISE is an incubator for retail entrepreneurs and first-time business owners to kickstart their business and open a brick-and-mortar store. This program is designed to educate
RISE participants for up to one year in business.
“Our father Eli Sleiman moved to Jacksonville and started this company in 1955. His entrepreneurial spirit led him to his success and achieving the American Dream. We are excited to start the RISE program and help entrepreneurs live their American Dream,” said Toney, Joe and Eli Sleiman, principals.
Sleiman Enterprises is seeking applications for the inaugural class of its retail incubation program, RISE – Retail Incubator for Sleiman Entrepreneurs.
The incubator is geared toward retail entrepreneurs and first-time business owners, helping them “kickstart their business and open a brick-and-mortar store” in a Sleiman shopping center, according to a news release from the company.
RISE will help lower the startups’ first-year costs by providing free base rent for one year. The Sleiman specialty leasing team will teach entrepreneurs about retail leasing, sales forecasting and space design.
The goal is to develop the concept by the second year, when the entrepreneur signs a traditional lease.
