How to find national tenants representative?

[Colin Wu]

Dear all seasoned real estate investors and commercial real estate brokers,

Before getting started, everyone's advice will be appreciated and all opinions will be considered. 

We are developing retail centers in Southern California and would like to attract national tenants by connecting to those who are representing national franchises specially restaurants or retails. Instead of having a listing broker find us those tenants, how are we able to touch base with tenant representatives of national tenants? 

Again, thank you.
