Libak Retail offers a range of services in the field of location facilitation for retailers.

Select the best match for your situation below, and explore our offerings.

LEASING OR BUYING A NEW LOCATION

Are you opening a new store somewhere? We have prime locations available all over the country.

WHY CHOOSE US?

There are many reasons why you should choose Libak Retail as your location partner. Here are the top three.

YOUR BUSINESS IS OUR BUSINESS

We’re all about finding the best possible solutions for your business. We never recommend solutions that we are not 100% confident about, and confidentiality is at the top of our agenda.
