The safest retail businesses are in neighbourhood shops with low rental but high sales, esp those selling necessity goods like food and groceries. you can find them in "small neighbourhoods" like mentioned above. Not so safe are those with high rentals like in major malls and big town centrals, eg toa payoh central and jurong central. But high rental usually means high human traffic, so unless sales and margin are good, risk is high.
