"Be not denied access, stand at her doors, And tell them, there thy fixed foot shall grow." Twelfth Night, Act I, Scene 4
Despite the increasing speculation that
Internet sales will eventually change the way people shop, especially for
drug store-related items, retailers in the “drug store” business
continue to regard parking availability as critical to a store’s sales
volume. This concern can lead to difficult negotiations over the
consequences of a loss of parking spaces during the term of a lease,
particularly where loss of spaces is not within landlord’s control, such
as eminent domain proceedings for widening roads and similar takings.
The parking lot remains a battleground for lease negotiations.
