The Qualities of Kimco
Beyond Property: Service Counts
It’s not enough to be the largest; we also want to be the best. Being the best, though, isn’t just about having the best shopping centers in the best locations. It’s also about having the best people and the best service.
Our people are passionate about the shopping center business. That energy shows in their determination to help our retailers – all 8,500 of them – find the right space and location to ensure success. Each year, we conduct hundreds of reviews with our tenants that allow us to better know them and their business plans, and help us both identify opportunities for growth.
We believe what’s good for our tenants is also good for Kimco. That’s why we’re developing programs to help small retailers, those most impacted by the recession. These programs will offer a variety of resources and support to help small-shop owners boost sales and drive foot traffic, and to aid entrepreneurs in starting new businesses, or taking advantage of franchise opportunities.
We’re also very active in the area of sustainability, working to make our centers more environmentally friendly and providing a range of “green” services to our tenants. Our latest initiative: installing solar power arrays at two shopping centers in New Jersey. By lowering energy usage and reducing waste, we cut our operating costs and become better neighbors to the communities we serve.
