Every Monday is Cyber Monday! Welcome to Racked SF's weekly series that highlights the fashion and retail apps emerging from the Bay Area.

As much as ecommerce has opened doors for startups, there are times when an actual brick and mortar is necessary—or at least would be really fun and potentially lucrative. SF-based Storefront is an online tool and marketplace that connects brands and designers with retail spaces for rent. Custom menswear brand Indochino used the service to open pop-up shops in SF and NYC, and local fashion retailer Topshelf Boutique tapped the site's resources to grow from a fashion truck into a boutique in the Crocker Galleria.

The process couldn't be easier: search the listings, submit a proposal, and finalize the details. Storefront takes care of the rest, keeping fees transparent and the outcomes free of surprises. Storefront has helped facilitate the opening of 1000+ stores (that have generated $30m in sales) and include past projects with big brands like Nike and Kanye West.
