Inline Stores

Anchor Tenant
An anchor tenant is a principal or main tenant in a shopping center, whose presence draws a significant number of customers to the retail establishment, benefiting smaller stores and positively influencing the center’s overall performance.
Inline Stores
Inline stores are smaller retail units lined up in a straight front or L shape within a shopping center. These differ from larger units like junior anchors and are usually home to neighborhood retailers.
Junior Anchors
Junior anchors are stores in a community or regional shopping center that are smaller than the anchor tenant, yet larger than the inline stores. They typically range from 15,000 to 40,000 square feet.
Shadow Anchor Tenant
A shadow anchor tenant is a large, well-known retail store near or adjacent to a shopping center's inline stores but is not a tenant of the shopping center itself. This store generates significant foot traffic to the neighboring retail spaces within the shopping center, resembling an anchor tenant in function without contributing rental income to the shopping center.
