The Mackinac Bay Trading Company Building is located at the center of Mackinaw City's busiest commercial district, across the street from ferry services to Mackinac Island. Within 600 feet of the North and South corners of the property are located the City Marina, the Band Shell, and the State Dock.
The Mackinac Bay Trading Company's location yields the traffic of 90% of Mackinaw City's walking shoppers and 85% of the driving traffic. Adjacent to the property is the Mackinac Crossings with over 100,000 square feet consisting of over 45 speciality shops including 8 eateries, a 760-seat 5-plex cinema, The Mackinaw Theatre, and a free nightly laser show.
The Mackinac Bay Trading Company Building is one of Northern Michigan's most unique retail building consisting of 24,000 square feet. The authentic log building has animal mounts, a majestic fireplace with a waterfall, and wrought iron chandeliers. The floors are a combination of wood, tile, and carpet.
The Mackinac Bay Trading Company Building is the most popular retail space in Mackinaw City and has been for decades. The building's location directly on the Huron Street sidewalk makes it a very accessible and desirable retail location in Mackinaw City.
The main benefit of being a tenant at the Mackinac Bay Trading Company Building is being in a unique setting in the center of Mackinaw City. However, The Mackinac Trading Company Building affords much more than the average downtown store for the following reasons:
(1) The building is finished inside. Tenants need not spend thousands of dollars trying to make the store unique. The property even has 4 register desks made of solid wood carved totem poles and wooden desks, unique in-store shelving, useful shelving in the back storage space, dozens of stuffed animals, 2 large waterfalls, and a massive stone fireplace. It would afford its tenants a turnkey opportunity. Less build out expense means less risk and more money to spend on inventory.
(2) Building has plenty of parking adjacent to the building, both in front of and behind the building. While potential customers have to park far away from almost all the other stores in Mackinaw City to access the individual stores, the property has plentiful parking that is located directly in front of each proposed and existing doorway.
(3) The tenants have direct access to their walk-in clients. Unlike malls, where potential customers have to first find the entrance to the mall, and then go past multiple other stores to go to a particular store, the customers would have direct access to each store. Simply put, property is more appealing for the same reason that large Strip Centers are more appealing than interior malls; in that each individual store would be a destination, not just the mall itself.
