About Us  Our Team  Press

We don’t represent landlords, and we don’t represent large, national chains. We bring expert guidance to independent retail businesses for whom real estate strategy is too important to get wrong.

We hold real estate licenses in DC, Maryland, Virginia and North Carolina, and our in-house team represents retailers in the DC Metro Area and in Charlotte.

Beyond those areas, we serve smart retailers with consulting and business planning, and we offer retail real estate consulting and educational services to Main Street organizations, BIDs, and municipalities of all sizes.

Here's our story. Thanks for asking.

Abby Davids Rocha and Sheila Laderberg Tarasiuk co-founded Pedal Retail Advisors in 2020.

The duo first met when Abby was leasing commercial real estate and Sheila was searching for retail space for a growing chain of coffee shops. While they didn’t end up doing a deal together back then, their mutual admiration for each others’ hustle and smarts planted seeds for the future.

Fast forward to a global pandemic, when Abby and Sheila were independently building their own businesses dedicated to first-time retailers, both determined to solve the very same problem. 

Retail real estate is an insider’s game, yet retailers seeking to open a bricks-and-mortar business have no choice but to engage with this complicated and unfamiliar system. As a result, too many retailers sign the wrong leases because they didn’t have access to the same quality expertise as the big guys. Abby and Sheila knew there had to be a better way.

Pedal has defined a new standard of service for independent retailers who deserve every advantage available to them.
