I spoke with a close colleague of Trabalza today and it appears the lease on his current shop is set to expire sometime next year. Nothing is certain yet but lease renewals can be a dicey proposition for the lessee. I see four possible outcomes:
- Renewal of lease with minimal increase in rent (suit prices stay the same)
- Renewal of lease with significant increase in rent (suit prices go up)
- Move to a new location
- Retirement
I hope things turn out well but nonetheless I may want to accelerate my first order with this highly experienced tailor before one or more of the above events happen.
