> Our roughly 1,800 square feet of retail space is conveniently compact so busy customers can get in and out fast. Isn't this a bit small for a store? The tiny 2 bedroom apartment I live in is 1400sqft.

It's a convenience store, not a grocery store.

In what part of the world is 1400sqft considered tiny? That is 130m^2, which would be considered a pretty decent size appartement here in Austria. You don‘t find many appartments as big as that in a city here. (We‘re a family of 4, and we live in a 80m^2 appartement)

  I'm in Bangalore and live with my wife. Compared to what our parents, we always complain about how small our living space is. They have lived their lives in small towns/villages in houses with nice large rooms and huge backyards, all of which is only a pipe dream for us now in our 21st storey pigeon-hole. I always assumed European countries with their lower population densities would be inclined towards larger living spaces than us. Seems like that may not be generally true.

    I had to go look up average apartment size in Bangalore to make sure you had the correct number. 130m² is a pretty large apartment size in Europe. We live in 70m² and find it decently sized. And I work remotely so I'm in it all day long. We pay 800€/month, it would be much higher if we were closer to a city center. We have a bedroom and a study, even two small bathrooms. It does have a backyard that is not counted I in the size. Most people I know live in similarly sized apartments.

  > In what part of the world is 1400sqft considered tiny? America. I wouldn't call it "tiny" exactly, but it's on the small side. 80 m^2 for 4 people, though, is cramped by American standards.

My entire detached house in Redmond, WA is 1200 sq. ft. Though small for the U. S., I don’t know that I’d label it “tiny”, nor do I think your average 7-11 convenience store to be larger than that.
