    Welcome… 

    Bolton Market is currently undergoing a £4.5million redevelopment and we’re looking for

    traders, new and old to be part of the refurbished East Hall section of the market.

    This application pack is designed to assist you with your application and to help you

    understand our requirements in relation to the type and quality of the product, displaystandards, stall design and fit out.

    The Market

    Bolton Council has invested in the development of the market, which is located right in the

    heart of Bolton town centre and close to the main train and bus interchange.

    With over 300 stalls across an indoor and outdoor location, the market has a growing

    reputation as having the finest food market in the North West attracting around 3 million

    visitors and over 300 coach parties a year. The market installed a cookery demonstration

    kitchen in 2009, and has regular events taking place which adds to the visitor experienceincluding a healthy eating ‘Wellbeing’ course which received the award for ‘Best Market

    Innovation’ 2012 (National Association of British Market Authorities- NABMA). There is a

    proactive marketing and events calendar to draw footfall including an electronic loyalty card

    scheme.

    The redevelopment builds on the quality and strength of the award-winning food offer with a

    major refurbishment of the non-food section/East Hall. The hall has been reformatted with

    multi-functional shop units, a selection have been fitted out with facilities for food traders to

    create a food court around a central communal seating area. The layout of stalls and the

    creation of new entrances present cleaner lines to lead shoppers through this section of the

    market from outside and through to the main food halls.

    Floor surfaces are being renewed, and LED lighting will be introduced to reduce running

    costs whilst also helping to create a more modern retail environment. Free Wi-Fi will be

    available for all customers and traders. New fire and security systems (including CCTV)

    smart meters for utilities and eco friendly drainage maintenance systems will also help the

    market to maximise its green credentials. 

    This is an exciting opportunity for new traders to be part of an award-winning market, which

    is one of the premier shopping destinations in the North West.

    The outdoor and indoor market is open every Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday from

    9.00am until 5.00pm each day with a second hand market operating every Sunday morning.

    Our objectives

    Shoppers today demand high quality and value for money. They expect a clean, safe and

    comfortable shopping experience with plenty of choice. Our objective is to provide an

    environment that will fulfil the expectations of our local shoppers whilst attracting new visitors

    from the Greater North West and beyond. We are aiming to provide a wider variety of

    product, offer and price than we have in the current market.

    Allocation of stalls

    The product range of the trader will, to a certain extent, determine the location of the stall or

    stalls offered and will attract a high score in the assessment. The layout and design of each

    stall is also of prime importance and is a key factor to providing a pleasant environment for

    shoppers. Your application should demonstrate how you will achieve this with the products

    or services you are proposing to sell.

    Other facilities

    There are designated loading areas and parking spaces at the market with certain operatingrestrictions. Deliveries are restricted to outside of market hours (before 9am and after 5pm,on non-market days Monday’s and Wednesday’s between 7am and 3pm)

    toilet facilities.

    Application for occupancy

    Please complete the trader application form and submit this together with all supporting

    documentation and evidence required as this will be used in the assessment process.

    Agreements to occupy

     Agreements to occupy are designed to offer traders a balance of flexibility and security of

    tenure. Each stall will be available on a new lease of up to 7 years, with a floating tenants

    break option enabling the lease to be terminated by way of six months notice. Tenants will

    be responsible for the fit out decoration and repair of the stall, the Council will maintain the

    common areas the cost of which is recovered via the Service Charge.

    highest scores and after taking into consideration trade balance. Please provide a first,

    second and third choice of stall(s) to allow a degree of flexibility in the letting process. All

    Design Guide

    This information will help those applying for stalls in the new retail market to understand our

    requirements for product display and fit-out.

    General design principles

    Create interest – first impressions count

    Keep it simple – allow the product range to speak

    Make use of variations in height to give a sense of volume

    Lighting effects are essential and can be used to draw the customer in

    Think about materials that compliment your product range, will wear well and be

    easily cleaned

    Use colour to add interest although a neutral backdrop may be more appropriate if

    you have colourful stock

    Your sign board should be clear and attractive and must contain the name of the

    proprietor and contact details for the stall. (Bolton Markets to approve prior toinstallation)

    Stall layout

    The layout of your stall is important in creating a pleasant and friendly shopping space for

    your customers. Creating an area for shoppers to browse will increase the likelihood of

    making a sale. Effective separation of the space into sales areas, display regions and

    customer browse points is important in promoting and enhancing your business. For fashion

    retail you may want to think about viewing space and a changing room. 

    Lighting and ambience

    Lighting is the most effective tool in enhancing the environment of your stall. Light, airy

    environments will be more welcoming to shoppers and make the space feel more open. Low

    level lighting and spotlights can bring attention to displays to attract potential customers to

    the stall. All lighting must have an efficiency exceeding 25 lumens per watt of energy and/or

    be an LED installation, which will be approved as part of your stall design submission.  

    Stall fit-out approval process

    Creation of design  – all applicants must include a concept design with their business plan.

    Acceptance of design - if the application is successful, the applicant will be notified by way

    of a formal offer letter, which may also require the applicant to attend a meeting to review the

    stall design in more detail. In some cases a more detailed look at products, their quality and

    other stock related issues may be required.

    Stall hand over   – the successful applicant will meet a member of Bolton Markets

    Management Team prior to assuming occupancy to confirm fit-out works.

    Practical completion  – on completion of the stall fit-out, a member of Bolton Markets

    Management Team will meet the applicant to review the work undertaken prior to the issue

    of any licence or lease agreement.

    8/28

    6

    Changes to the design  – If the design of the stall requires, or is amended at any time

    during the fit out period, the applicant must inform Bolton Markets and/or submit new plans

    for approval if that is deemed necessary. 

    Additional information

    Business Planning

    In order to evaluate your submission you must provide a basic outline of your plans for the

    business you are going to run. This needs to give details of how it will compete, add value

    and sustain itself in the first instance. Each unit has the following liabilities

    Rent -This will be set at the time of your application and reviewed in line with your

    occupancy agreement by the Council.

    Service Charge- This will be set and reviewed annually and is applied by the

    Landlord (in this case Bolton Council) to cover annual reasonable landlord running

    costs such as refuse removal and general electricity for the site as a whole.

    Business Rates – These are levied by the Government and collected by the Council.

     At present small business rate relief means that all of the units in the market,

    (individually) benefit from 100% relief from this cost. However this is based on a

    maximum square footage calculation and on how many other small businesses you

    may be running in your own name.

    Further information and advice on Business Rates can be obtained from:

    Robin Gibbons - Revenue Manager, Business Rates, Bolton Council

    Food stalls

    Bolton Markets is particularly keen to reflect the changing face of cafe retailing (international

    food ‘on the go’) and the creation of a dedicated food court in the newly refurbished East Hall

    is critical to that objective. 19 food units are available, with the focus being on variety,

    uniqueness and a reflection of the cosmopolitan nature of the customers we want to see in

    the market, especially over the lunch time period.

    There will be a limit on the number of units selling similar product lines, the menu will be

    critical and will act as the user clause for any business setting up in this area of the market.

    We expect a high level of interest in these units and as such it is vitally important that you

    provide us with as much detail about how you will provide a point of difference to the fast

    food offer and how you will complement what is on sale elsewhere within this area. The

    Food Court is as important to the success of the market as the established food halls. Street

    food and trying something exotic and healthy will be what makes customers return and to

    help realise the potential of this space, Bolton Market has commissioned celebrity Chef

    Simon Rimmer (Channel 4 ‘Sunday Brunch’) to hold a number of master class sessions withthose businesses chosen for the food court area. 

    This area will be themed and will be cleaned by the markets service, the cost being

    recharged to the relevant food outlets via the service charge.

     All food traders must be registered with a Local Authority Health Protection

    Service/Environmental Health Department and will be required to have obtained a minimum

    Grade 4 following any Health Protection Service Inspection.
