00:03And you can have smaller units, and you can have two or three people in there, rather than just one big one.
00:07That's it, basically.
00:09You know, I used to have a shop in Home Bay of 6,000 square feet.
00:13And when it comes to the stage where, for instance, the shop was so big,
00:17it was an ex-Tesco store,
00:20but I wanted to convert it to smaller units.

00:28Because I believe in smaller ones for the small people.
00:31Big stores are great for shopping, for ladies and gentlemen,
00:36but not for the locals, really, I don't think.
00:39They like to look around in these smaller shops.
