I'm looking to develop a list of the most common strip mall tenants that could occupy 880-22000 sqft units. I've got a decent base of ideas like:
pharmacies
bars
video rental
restaurants
banks
bookstores
music store
jewlery/watches
tanning
check cashing
copier/printing
juice bar
nutrition
bed/bath/linen
toys/video games
pizza
coffee
dry cleaners
insurance
nail salons
hair cut
smoke shop
cell phone
Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!
Go to the Economic Census. For the nation or for an individul state, get the counts of number of businesses by type. Divide this by the population to get the number of businesses per capita. Then figure out which are likely to go into a strip location.
Do you really mean a strip mall? Uses like a bank or pharmacy are going to prefer freestanding locations.

Moderator note:
Renaming the thread thread from"Commercial Tenants", which is quite vague. In the future, please use descriptive thread titles.
In a thread like this, it seems like we could just name various types of retail and service businesses; we might as well copy and paste a good portion of the NAICS here. Also, 880 to 22,000 square feet covers a broad range of potential uses; a typical CVS or Walgreens drugstore is about 10,000 square feet. You asked a rather broad question, and I don't think there's a one-size-fits-all answer.
day care center
post office/shipping place
studios for martial arts, dance, etc.
realty offices
there always seems to be a karate and chinese food joint in there
Depending on what other kind of uses are nearby or socioeconomics of the area:
Laundrymat
card shops
Jewelry stores
Florist? Did you mention this?
It sounds like you are trying to make a use list for strip centers for zoning maybe?
It may be easier to make a list of what you don't want in a strip center. Be careful with generalizations about size though, new chain grocery stores in some parts of the country are 100,000 sq ft +.

Convenience/Liquor
Sub Shops
Donuts/Bagels
Ice Cream
Medical (Chiropractor, Eye Care, General Practice, Dentist, etc.)
Small Electronics/Software/Cameras
Travel Agent
Financial Agent
Gifts
Blinds & Draperies
Most of the new strip malls around here have check cashing stores, the Dollar Store, Chinese Food by the pound, Curves or Champs, a phone store, and the rest of the spaces remain vacant.
Seems to be a lot of optometrists/eyeglass chain stores in the strip malls around here. And kiddie art/music lesson types of places.
Other than that you've covered everything that comes to mind.
Around here,
Dry Cleaners
ABC Stores
Florists
Check Cashing/Title Loan
Sub Shops
Realtors Offices
Cellphone Stores
Hair Salon/Nail Place
