Why soapbox?
SOAPBOX is the #1 platform for securing new retail premises in the UK.
Over 200 brands have expanded through Soapbox.
As a small or new brand to the UK market, it can be difficult to meet the correct property decision-maker contacts and secure new sites.
Since 2014, the SOAPBOX stage has provided brands with a platform to showcase their business & present property requirements to a highly targeted audience of top UK agents, landlords & retail destinations who are keen to discover exciting brands matching their available sites.
All brand site requirements are welcome, whether it be for a bricks and mortar business, a kiosk, floor space, or a pop-up with a niche space requirement.

Brands who have pitched on soapbox












“At Completely Retail Marketplace in London we were offered space for The Massage Company Centres across the UK, and this was from people who had come to and listened to the SOAPBOX session. It is a great event and we look forward to moving some of these properties forward and also presenting again in Madrid and Prague, and building on our international expansion as well as UK growth.”

“That little helping hand that you get from a competition like this that just accelerates that. What it's done is, is given us a quick access to something that would have probably taken us another maybe six months or a year to do basically from day one.”

“What did SOAPBOX mean for us? A chance to pitch in front of huge landlords and collaborate with some super sharp retail concepts. We've already set up meetings with all of the largest players in the Nordics and are in discussions to spread Pantry through Sweden, Norway, Denmark, and Finland. Watch this space!
We would 100% participate again if given the chance.”
