Possible gaps for a new retail store
Service-led retail (phone repair, alterations, or plant studio)
Product-only retail is crowded online — hands-on services tied to a high-street address defend against e-commerce.

- ✔ Manageable competition density vs other suburbs
- ✔ Rent pressure lower than premium inner-city strips
- ✔ Relatively stable year-round trade (low seasonality risk)
