Clearly the writer of this sign meant to use the apostrophe for a contraction. Retail Space is Available.
I don’t think it’s clear either way. I took the picture, and based on the fact that the sign was made by a Georgian, it’s entirely possible that this really is a case of apostrophe abuse.
Sorry. I was trying to be sarcastic.
