Company mission
Eliminate the barriers to physical retail, by letting occupiers of any kind - brands, businesses, entrepreneurs and communities - rent innovative, sustainable, and digitally-enhanced spaces across the UK.

Our take
By providing immensely flexible short-term rentals of retail units, Sook is poised to provide a desperately needed service for vendors who increasingly find high-street rentals too high a cost to bear.
An archetype of the sharing economy, Sook’s digitally enhanced retail units are an attractive product for a new generation of business owners who can try out a high street location without a huge commitment to rent and rates.
In order to reach truly massive scale, Sook will need to focus on increasing the number of its locations and prove its value to the more established e-commerce brands.
