THE RETAIL COACH, LLC
ST. PETERSBURG, FLORIDA

Over and over again I heard about The Retail Coach's "service after the sale." This was important to us. A lot of firms can run data and put together fancy reports. What allows The Retail Coach to stand out is their coaching. A tool is useless unless someone 'coaches' you on the best way to utilize it. When you hire The Retail Coach you are not just buying data, you are hiring a coach to help you with your retail development needs. In my opinion, The Retail Coach’s strategy and assistance netted us over 325,000 square feet of occupied retail development during one of the most significant retail downturns in the last 20 years. Money well spent. The location of Sprouts Farmers Market was a direct result of meetings coordinated by The Retail Coach between our community and site selectors at ICSC/Recon in 2012. C. Kelly Cofer leads The Retail Coach with more than 25 years of experience in all aspects of retail real estate and economic development. Mr. Cofer’s professional background encompasses market research and site selection, advisory and leasing services, and property brokerage and development for leading national and regional retailers and restaurants in more than 150 cities throughout the United States. Mr. Cofer has earned the prestigious Certified Commercial Investment Member (CCIM) designation from the Chicago-based Commercial Investment Real Estate Institute and attended the Economic Development Institute at the University of Oklahoma. He holds a Bachelor of Science degree from Texas A&M University in College Station. Over and over again I heard about The Retail Coach's "service after the sale." This was important to us.
