I don't understand the meaning of this phrase here. The background is a contract for the NY showroom of a French couturier. I am translating the various items of required setup and expense, such as rent, personnel, etc. I know that 'corner' is used as a display or concession stand, but this firm has a floor on Madison Avenue... I can't quite figure out what it means here:
Objectif de corner d'une valeur de X euros
1ère saison : 20 corners
Objectif de corner d'une valeur de X euros
1ère saison : 20 corners
Proposed translations

| I am sorry it took me so long to respond... I did use 'shop in shop' and concession both... but it's been one of those months when one can barely come up for air... Thanks for your 'apport'! |

corner display
I think you're right about the meaning. I wonder if they mean that they want to have 20 corner displays in various high-falutin' fashion stores, each with a sales target or total retail value of x euros?

| I went with 'shop-in-shop' actually, with a note... but did ask the client... Thanks! |
