We are passionate about the future of retail placemaking. HATCH is a competition supporting budding businesses and those ready for the next step. We are looking for businesses that are small, hungry and ultimately, have potential for longevity. Are you up for it?
HATCH is a Revo initiative supporting budding small businesses ready for the next step in their evolution. We are looking for enterprises that are exciting, innovative and hungry for the opportunity to trade in an established retail centre. We have 6 locations around the UK and Ireland – from the big destinations, to the smaller, more local retail places, these centres are the heart and soul of the communities they serve.
We are keeping limitations for entering HATCH to a minimum. Instead, we are seeking applicants that demonstrate entrepreneurial spirit, passion and longevity. It does not matter if you’re a physical start-up, an online only operator, a family owned business, or anything in between – we want to hear from you!
