Franchise CRE Strategy & Analytics

Merida Partners

Merida Partners is a national tenant-representation firm specializing in real estate solutions for franchise brands. We partner with brands through every stage of the process; from market strategy & site selection to lease negotiations, project coordination, & openings. We believe no two brands are alike. Rather than applying a one-size-fits-all approach, we work closely with each client to develop a customized real estate strategy tailored to their growth objectives, operating model, and expansion goals. By combining local industry expertise, advanced analytics, and proprietary technology, brands make smarter decisions, accelerated growth, and create long-term value to their franchisees.
