Retail
French term or phrase: coque
From a lease relating to rental of a retail space within a shopping mall (Fr into US English translation)

"Le Preneur a toutefois souhaité avoir la possibilité de donner congé pour la deuxième échéance triennale du Bail si l'une des hypothèses suivantes venait à être constatée par lui:
...
- Que le nombre de coques vacantes dans le Centre commercial soit supérieur à 25% des coques totales du Centre commercail sur un période continue de deux mois"

I'm assuming "coque" means something like "unit" or "store"
